Hello Tea Lovers,

I thought this is an interesting subject and I was discussing this with a dear friend of mine who also like me has ADHD.  Stilling the mind is extremely challenging at times so I thought here is some good information if you too struggle to quieten the mind.  

An overactive mind can block the quiet space needed for intuitive insight, whether you are reading tea leaves, casting charms or consulting divination coins. Learning to shut down the constant mental chatter is essential for deepening your connection to subtle messages and for cultivating a calm, centred state during meditation. In this blog we explore practical techniques to still the mind, and we explain how tactile divination with therapeutic charms and coins from Tea Leaf Reader can support your journey towards mental quiet and intuitive clarity.

Why a Quiet Mind Matters for Intuition and Meditation
Intuition often speaks in whispers, through gentle nudges or sudden images that arise when the mind is still. If your thoughts race, you risk missing these subtle cues. Meditation for an overactive brain helps you develop the ability to pause thought patterns, to breathe into silence and to create a receptive inner environment. When you bring this calm into your divination space, you are better able to notice the shapes in charms or feel the energy of tea coins as they land.

Techniques to Calm an Overactive Brain

1. Mindful Breathing
   Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Inhale slowly for a count of four, hold for two, then exhale for a count of six. Focus entirely on the sensation of breath entering and leaving your body. Repeat for five to ten minutes to lower mental arousal and anchor your awareness in the present moment.

2. Body Scan Meditation
   Lie down or sit in a relaxed posture, then bring your attention to your toes. Notice any tension or sensation, then consciously release it as you move your focus up through your legs, hips, torso and shoulders. By gently scanning the body you shift attention away from intrusive thoughts and invite deep relaxation.

3. Visualisation of a Calming Space
   Close your eyes and picture a serene landscape—a quiet forest, a still lake or a sunlit beach. Engage all your senses as you imagine soft sounds, gentle breezes and soothing colours. This guided imagery interrupts the mind’s habitual loops and promotes mental stillness.

Using Charms and Coins as Tactile Divination Tools
Tactile forms of divination, such as charm casting and tea coin divination, are especially therapeutic. Handling charms and coins engages the sense of touch, grounding you in the present and offering a gentle focal point for meditation. As you riffle metal charms or scatter coins across a soft cloth, the weight and texture become anchors for your attention. This tactile engagement quietens the overactive mind and allows intuitive impressions to arise organically.

How to Incorporate Charms and Coins into Your Practice

1. Choose Your Tactile Tools
   Select a tea leaf reading charm kit or a set of divination coins from Tea Leaf Reader. Each charm or coin carries a symbolic meaning and a unique tactile quality—smooth edges on the glass coins, embossed patterns or cool metal surfaces—that enhances sensory awareness.

2. Set a Clear Intention
   Before you begin, state your purpose aloud or silently. You might say, “I seek clarity on my next step,” or “I wish to connect with my inner guidance.” Holding this intention anchors your mind and aligns your energy with the reading.

3. Begin with Meditation
   Spend three to five minutes in mindful breathing or a body scan. Focus on releasing tension so your mind settles into a calm state. This pre-reading meditation primes your awareness to notice subtle intuitive cues as you handle your charms or coins.

4. Engage Tactile Awareness
   Gently run your fingers over each charm or coin, noticing weight, texture and temperature. As you hold each piece, observe any impressions—images, words or bodily sensations—that arise. These first impressions are often the most potent messages from your intuition.

5. Cast and Interpret
   Scatter your charms onto a cloth or toss your coins and let them land naturally. Notice clusters, patterns and the orientation of symbols. Use your symbol guide to reference core meanings, then trust your intuitive sense to add nuance and personal relevance.

6. Record Your Insights
   Keep a dedicated journal for charm casting and coin readings. Note the date, your intention, the tools you used and your impressions. Over time you will see how your intuitive accuracy grows and how tactile divination becomes a therapeutic ritual.

Combining Divination with Regular Meditation
You do not need to limit tactile divination to formal readings. Integrate charm casting and coin divination into your daily meditation practice. For example, after mindful breathing, choose one charm to hold during a three minute silent meditation. Let the symbol and texture guide a short reflection on its message. This seamless combination of mindfulness and intuition strengthens both your meditative discipline and your divination skills.
