First, luxuriate yourself in a bath with a few drops of your favorite essential oil or a giant handful of sea salt or Epson salts. Massage your entire body with a bath salt made with coconut oil, or softly brush your skin with a loofa while you listen to peaceful, relaxing music. Take this time to nourish your body temple. When you’re done with your bath, instead of pulling the plug, getting out, and stepping back into your busy life, sit in the tub while the water slowly runs down the drain. Start to deeply clean underneath your fingernails, one at a time (using the fingernails on the opposite hand) and tell yourself ”I am letting go of what doesn’t serve me. I am letting go of holding on to anger, resentment, jealousy…” whatever it is that is metaphorically under your skin. Feel the water as your ally, gracefully supporting you as you let go. Feel the negative energy being carried with your body’s dirt down the drain. Now, splash cool, clean water on yourself, and re-enter your world feeling a whole lot cleaner and lighter.
