Bath and Body
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.
Bath and Body and Physical Immortality:
I read some exciting and interesting things about little known facts that I would like to share with you: To be immortal in today's world we must learn how to soak” says Leonard Orr the author of "Breaking the Death Habit : The Science of Everlasting Life"
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.
Bath and body relaxation and invigoration
Our daily bath and shower rituals are, in fact methods
of alternative medicine:
The break of the surface tension of the water, by waves, falls or evaporation produces the emanation of negative hydrogen ions, that are very beneficial for our body, which is electro-positively charged.
The negative ions make us feel relaxed, destroy harmful bacteria and increase our autoimmune system...
Bath and Body Detoxification:
Our bodies get loaded down with toxins from the products
we use, foods we eat that have been sprayed with pesticides, and the
water we drink that contains chlorine and fluoride.
These toxins get into our bodies and cannot escape because the pores of our skin are clogged with animal fats, oils, waxy residues, alcohol, and chemicals. Body detoxification starts internally, by drinking water and continues externally. Home or in Spa resorts, bathing is the way to clean out those residues from the pores of your face, scalp, and body to allow your body to work the way it was intended.

Bath and Body for relaxation Relaxation at home:
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...
