My 1st Spiritual Bath

Spiritual baths are a form of cleansing, not unlike the ritual baths of ancient Rome. They're meant to be a sort reset button for your energy, and they can even help you set meditative intentions. It all depends on what you add to the bathwater. For my first bath I added orange slices, mint leaves, bath bombs and my favorite stones (rose quartz, tiger’s eyes, selenite and agate).

Inhale and exhale the water flowed over my skin and washed away the stress of this world. The steam calmed every muscle relaxing me into pure tranquility. I could smell the citrus and peppermint soothing my lungs, purifying the spirit. I need that after a restless evening and busy week… I needed a true moment of self-care.  

I wonder if others take the time for self-care the way that they should. I make the decision to not be engulfed in perpetual fear, and misery and frustration (it’ll suck the life out of you). I choose to find joy in things I can control and take a friggin break!

Spiritual baths are an ancient method of healing your energy. A few friends told me a while ago that I should do it. To be honest, I didn't really know what it was but tonight, I embraced it all. I cried, prayed and spoke affirmations. I laughed, smiled and gave gratitude.  We will be fine...this too shall pass. After the bath I was so hot the steam was penetrating from me. I laid on the bed and opened the window. The light-spring breeze, the sound and smell of the rain took me into a deeper trance. Real meditation and relaxation. Gosh! I've got to do this more often. We can get too caught up in consuming that we forget to nurture ourselves. Today I nurtured self and it felt really, Really good.
