How to De-Stress After Work with Relaxing Bath Meditation
5 months ago
Bubble bath meditation is a timeless self-care practice. By combining a mindful soak with meditation, you can recharge your mind and body. With some bath salts, a good playlist, and a few quiet moments, your personal bath therapy session can begin.
Not your regular bath
For better focus, take a quick shower first so your bath is purely for meditation. Run your bath with hot water to create a sauna-like effect that raises your body temperature. It's a good idea to keep a bottle of water nearby in case you feel too warm.
Make it your own
Personalise your meditation bath to make it perfect for you. Try the mineral blend of our Acai Berry Detox Bath Salts or the fizz of our Rose Bath Bomb. Remember to dim the lights or use candles, as bright overhead lighting can cause eye strain and tension.
The perfect playlist
Choose music without lyrics, as words can be distracting when the goal is to focus on peaceful thoughts. Instrumental classical music or dedicated meditation playlists are ideal choices for your soak.
A moment of silence
When you get in, spend five minutes of silence. Listen to the water and feel the sensation of the bath salts. If your mind wanders, try chanting to focus on a sound instead of distracting thoughts. After your bath, lie on a towel and cool down with five minutes of deep breathing.
When you feel overworked or frazzled, taking time for yourself is key to reviving your body and mind. Bathtub meditation is a simple, effective way to do this from home, helping you recharge so you can keep going.
