There’s some truth to the phrase: “you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.”
I love taking bubble baths, and I lived for one loooong year without a bathtub. I didn’t think it would be a very big deal, but man, did I miss those baths. They are my time to unwind, relax, let go, and surrender. It’s a sweet treat at the end of the day.
My Mum shared a newsletter with me from Christine Arylo at Dare to Live You! She mentions that we all want to feel loved, and we can do this for ourselves (rather than waiting around for someone else to love us). She offered a list of suggestions, and the self-love soak is my favorite:
Take a Self-Love Soak. Candles. Bath. Bath Salts. Music. Lip Liner. Beautiful Bar of Soap. Undress. Write words and sonnets of love all over your body with the lip liner. Get into the bath. Gently rub the soap over the love words and feel them soaking into your cells.
When teaching yoga classes, I often talk about letting the vibration of OM soak into your cells, so that last sentence resonated with me quite a lot.
In shifting out of 2011 and into 2012, what action can you take to feel a little more loved today?
Choose love,
Grace
