Cleansing, mind, body and spirit.

Before any working you do you need to be clean. It's a matter of respect and hygiene. I don't need to tell you the basics of having a bath/shower but you can always go the extra mile before working.

If you have a bath:

Run a nice, deep, hot bath. Add three drops of lavender oil to the water, put on some soft music and light a few candles. Wash your hair first then get an all natural washing product (soap or gel) and wash from head to toe well. After that, rinse off and relax in the water, closing your eyes and listening to the sounds of the water mixing with the music. Breath deeply and meditate on what you plan to do later. When you feel fully relaxed and clean, rinse with a little fresh water and drain the tub. Air dry if it's warm enough, if not, wrap yourself in a nice warm towel.

If you have a shower:

To relax is a tad more difficult but not impossible. Turn on the shower to warm and pop on the radiator or whatever heating you have for the bathroom. Once the room is warm get undressed and head into the shower. Wash your hair with a pleasantly scented shampoo and conditioner before washing from head to toe, once again with an all natural washing product. After that stand under the water, taking deep breaths, close your eyes and feel the mix of water and air on your skin. Meditate on what you plan to do, until you feel clean and energised, before walking out of the shower and air drying. Then switch the shower off.
