Day 9 :: Bathing Ritual
Create a bathing ritual that nourishes you from the inside out. Allow sacred time and space for yourself. Immerse your body in water to experience deep relaxation and transformation. (In fact, immersion in warm water releases oxytocin, the bonding, love, and warm, fuzzy feeling hormone!)
Bathing Ritual Practice:
– Set an intention: to release something, to feel a certain way, to meditate on a specific area of your life.
– Slow down and set the mood. Stimulate all five senses:
– Sight: Remove clutter. Set the mood with candlelight or dim lighting
– Sound: Play soft nourishing music.
– Smell: Drop in essential oils or a bath bomb for a mood enhancing aroma.
– Touch: Swirl your hand in the water, test the temperature. Sprinkle in salts, flowers, dried herbs. Really feel all of the textures. Move with ease and flow.
– Taste: Hydrating lemon water or herbal tea can both be soothing and supportive.
A bathing ritual is a beautiful way to elevate an ordinary bath, calm your body, and soothe your soul. Try for yourself and experience the embodiment of your pleasure!
