Part I: Emotional Soothing Baths Bathing Your Emotions Everything in your environment has a power, or an unseen energy, that surrounds and enlivens it. When our energy field comes into contact with another's energy, we are affected whether we want to be or not. Knowing this, you must develop the fine art of discrimination to protect and guard your precious life force. Discrimination is an artful balancing act. Intelligent, artful discrimination means choosing energies that are compatible with your own -- energies that enhance rather than detract from your life. When you feel out of balance because your energy has been "attacked" by an incompatible force, the bath is a wonderful means of soothing and rebalancing yourself. One of the most comforting sounds in the world is that of gently falling rain against a windowpane. When you hear the gentle pitter-patter of raindrops, suddenly life slows down of its own volition -- just as standing under a waterfall can calm and almost magically wash away your cares and tensions. Rain and waterfalls are natural bathers of the auric (your personal energy) field. Fortunately for us, bathing in a bathtub can provide the very same refreshment. The healing properties of water can soothe away your anxieties and gently transport you into a state of deep relaxation. I offer you my collection of recipes for baths that will do wonders for your sense of well-being. Many of these formulas include herbs and flowers, as they have been proven over the centuries to relax the mind and heal the spirit. Emotional Bath Meditation This Meditation Can Be Used for All the Emotional Soothing Baths Once immersed in your bath, gently close your eyes, and let your attention focus sweetly on your breathing. Take ten deep breaths, then allow your mind to relax. Now take some moments to remember a time long ago when you were a child and felt particularly free. A time of no cares, and no awareness of the problems of the larger world. Perhaps you were at the seashore, or riding a bicycle, or giggling with your best friend. Concentrate on that moment, try to remember exactly how you felt. Your body was loose and unrestrained, your mind was carefree. Laughter flowed spontaneously from some fountain within. You were totally absorbed in your glee. Let your whole being drift back, back to this moment, as if you are suspended there, and nothing else exists. Feel your joy, the spontaneous, trusting love in your heart, and let yourself imagine life always being like that. Relax into it. Let these images rejuvenate your spirit, until you see yourself free and happy. Imagine all obstacles disappearing like mist before the sun. They cannot cling to you, for you are a free spirit, and nothing can stop you from soaring joyously to the heavens. Drift off to your favorite quiet place in nature. Imagine your guardian angel or spirit guides there with you. Feel their protection and love. Allow yourself to be nurtured and taken care of, as you let all your emotional pain be soothed away by their loving presence. You have the power to transform your life into the images of your most cherished dream...
