Bathing is ancient self-care. Hone in on the benefits:
Exfoliating your skin can increase circulation, nurture healthy skin development and enhance your intellectual, emotional and spiritual relationships with your physical self.
Soaking in warm water can lower blood pressure and relax tissues to better overall function.
Soaking in all-natural, oatmealy salty warm water can condition skin, increase nutritional mineral content (the palms and soles have particularly high permeability) and increase detoxification processes vital to overall well-being.
Soaking in aromatherapy warm water can improve moodiness, decrease tensions, rebalance sensitivities and make you feel a little decadent.
Taking time for self-care can improve self-esteem, increase patience, decrease reactiveness and transform a sense of helplessness. Just like a good friend needs quality attention, our bodies need sensory demonstrations that they matter to us.
Show your body it matters with a "Thank you" bath... or would you prefer a "You rock" bath? a "Hang in there" bath? a "Mini-vacation" bath? There are so many ways to connect and reflect...

1. Create a nice mood at your tub. (Avoid shaving prior to use.) Consider lighting, beverages (careful with glassware), music, imaginative tasks (avoid battery and electric powered devices unless specifically waterproof), and anything that gives you a sense of languid, inspired playtime.
2. Splash yourself wet as H2O fills. Rub Sensational Salts into all your parts. Savor the process and marinate.
3. Sink down & dissolve. Breathe. S t r e t c h. Unravel routines. Find all your bits that call for attention and give them your helpful, massaging lovin'.
4. No need to rinse. Feel the beat of your nature thriving... (lub dub, mmmm, yeahhhh, deep sigh)
Note: oatmeal and mineral bits remain behind after emptying the tub, but they'll go down with your next shower, or maneuver your shower nozzle to send them on their way after you've finished reveling in your lovely, spanking clean self.
