Bath and Body
The term bath and body refers to balneology, which is
the science of bathing...
Although one of the main health benefits of the
external use of water is keeping our body clean,
bathing is much more than this and it's curative
properties have been known for centuries.
However, I read some exciting and interesting things
about little known facts that I would like to share
with you:
Bath and Body and Physical Immortality:
“ Just about everyone in the West has indoor
plumbing and hot water, making physical immortality
available to the modern masses. As a result, it is
easy for most people to bathe twice per day, as is the
practice of the immortal yogis.
I value hot water bathing as the supreme gift of
spiritual civilization. I believe human life span has
doubled in the last hundred years because indoor
plumbing and warm water have made water purification
so pleasurable.
Warm water opens and cleans the chakra's. Cold water
cleans and automatically closes the charka's.These
gifts of science and technology are worthless to us if
we don’t use them consciously.
Both showers and total immersion are necessary for the
full understanding of water purification. Doing
breathing exercises in the bath increases their
efficiency.
Oceans, rivers, lakes and specially hot springs are
infinitely valuable natural resources. Breathing in
warm water produces different results then breathing
in cold water.
The simple act of bathing daily in water can be a
profound act of spiritual purification. To gain its
full value, you should practice immersion in a
bathtub, sea, or river while meditating before, during
and after.
The value of thinking deeply while going in an out of
water is that it enables you to discover how bathing
changes your emotional and psychological states.
Thinking while lying in a warm bathtub is the greatest
form of meditation I have ever tried.
Daily bathing cleans the energy body.
Drinking good water is also important, but bathing is
the easiest and most pleasurable way to clean the
energy body - which is the source of the physical
health.
To be immortal in today's world we must learn how to
soak.”
Bath and Body experience is about Relaxation
and Detoxification:
Relaxation is one of the most effective self-help
activities for mental health. It can be a useful
addition to any other forms of treatment, as well as
being an effective measure to prevent the development
of stress and anxiety. - tells www.bbc.co.uk -
While you take a long soak in the bath:
•Start to breathe slowly and deeply, in a calm and
effortless way,
•Gently tense, then relax, each part of your body,
starting with your feet and working your way up to
your face and head,
•As you focus on each area, think of warmth,
heaviness and relaxation,
•Push any distracting thoughts to the back of your
mind; imagine them floating away...
The National Sleep Foundation recommends
soaking in a warm bath or hot tub at bed time to help
ensure a better night's sleep.
