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.
