I really enjoy being submerged in water in general but I’m much too tall for my bathtub at home. I find that when I do manage to take a bath, I’m just like you. I feel more calm, more at peace, and much more relaxed.
I’ve always been a water baby my parents used to call me a mermaid or a fish as a kid because any chance I got I was in the water. That’s still true to this day! Any chance I get to go to the beach, I’m there. Any chance I get to go swimming? I’m there! I don’t so much enjoy showers lol but it’s not submerged in water enough for me!
Ya know, I just watched a video on YouTube about the ritual baths that an Orthodox Jewish woman takes during certain periods of time. The ritual bath area is called a Mikvah and I was so entranced and in love with the idea of having a specific area and ritual schedule throughout the entire video. Now of course, I’m not going to copy the ritual bath practices from another religion but it has given me some ideas and inspiration for creating my own ritual bath routine!
