How does a
Simple Cup of Coffee change your life?
ARTICLE MICHELLE TEMPLE
Coffee connects us, stimulates us, opens our mind and allows us to see the bigger picture. How you ask? It is one of the most modern rituals of any given day. Stepping off the rat wheel for a small breather is necessary to move out of the rational conscious mind thinking and choosing to listen to your intuition or guidance. The best part is that you don’t have to have a huge knowledge about coffee to consult this Oracle.

raditionally you would follow an intense ritual to consult your Coffee Oracle but I have found an extraordinary simple way to receive messages from my favourite beverage. Just like our ancestors would look for messages from the Gods in the colour of the sky, in the clouds, or an unexpected animal visitor just to name a few. Five years ago I relocated my whole life in my horsefloat and landed in the middle of the central goldfields in Victoria. I had no friends, no family and felt like I had landed on another planet. I felt totally disconnected from anything I knew as familiar. There was no coffee shop for miles and my budget did not allow that luxury anyhow. My trusty expresso machine got dusted off and I thought well at least I can still feel human with my hands wrapped around my mug of cappuccino. It was at this point I realised that every cup of coffee I made was different. Same beans, same machine, same cup even but as I pondered on my daily predicaments (and there were a few) I realised I was seeing pictures in my coffee crème. There were symbols, animals, fruit, trees etc. I got curious and a bit excited and shared photos of my coffee
each day on my little Facebook page Connecting with Clarity, asking people what they saw in the cup. Intriguingly most saw something different so I started to interpret what they saw as a message. Fascinatingly people would give feedback and say how the message had resonated with them and it was then I realised that through this medium they were receiving their very own personal message through what they saw in the cup. It is a daily ritual now and as I brew my cup of Java I focus on my question while I get lost in the process and the aroma. I then take a photo of the top of the cup and as I drink my coffee I study that photo and notice what I am noticing and then get down to the fun part of interpreting the message and there is always a message. This daily ritual has the power to keep you open and connected to your intuition and creativeness but even more then this it is like a conversation with the Divine as well. Mostly though I hope that you see your humble cup of coffee as one of your most valuable tools to self-awareness. Join Michelle for coffee any day at: www.faceboook.com/connectingwithclarity
