Tao in Daily Life

Small, honest rhythms: breath, tea, chores, quiet. Flow over force; soften into what is.

Try the 7-min ritual Micro-dares

Kindness · Compassion · Humanity

Kindness Gentle Start

Hold the door a second longer for someone you’ll never meet again.

Compassion Room For Two

Let one interruption finish; answer after a breath, not during.

Humanity Same River

Notice one thing you share with a stranger—weather, music, or silence.

No tracking—just fresh, gentle Tao delivered daily.

Practice > Pose Refresh

Sweep the floor like you’re making a path for your breath. Wash the cup like you’re washing your attention. The Tao lives in the tiny.

Three Tiny Practices

  1. Breath Bookmark: Pause at doorways—one slow in, one soft out.
  2. Gentle Hands: Handle objects as if they’re asleep.
  3. Soft Eyes: Let your gaze widen to the edges; notice color, light, texture.

Tea-as-Teacher (5 minutes)

Boil, pour, wait, sip. Let heat teach patience; aroma teach attention; taste teach enough.
