How to use your body to soothe your mind.

Calm Practice

Soothing Water 💦

Run yourself a nice hot bath 🛀 or take a long, hot shower 🚿. You can also fill up a large bowl with hot water and make it a hand or foot bath.

Take your time to savor the sensations of the water against your skin.

Close your eyes and describe the experience using all of your senses. 

You can add other sensory elements to the environment to amplify the soothing experience.

 Here are some examples:

• Bath Bombs
• Bubbles 🫧
• Fragrant Body Wash 
• A Lit Candle 🕯️
• Relaxing Music 🎶
• An Exfoliating Glove or Cloth 
• Essential Oils 
• A Face Mask
