Purpose: When you are tired or over stimulated, here’s a simple way to relax and send yourself off to a restful sleep. It’s wonderful either in the bath or in bed.
4 Chamomile Tea Bags
Candle
1 Quart of water
Pan large enough for the Water
Directions: Start by steeping 2 chamomile bags in a quarts of water for 15 minutes.
While it’s steeping, cover your head with a towel and position your head over the pot and inhale the healing aroma of the chamomile steam.
Then pour the liquid into your bath.
Next, using the other 2 bags, make yourself a cup of tea to sip while in your bath, steep it lightly and save the tea bags.
Put on some relaxing music, light your candle, immerse yourself in the tub, and close your eyes and put the teabags over them.
Now imagine yourself stretched out on a comfortable cushion and drifting off to sea, the sun is gently warming your body. Imagine the rolling sounds of the waves as you let yourself drift…drift…drift…
A simple thing you can do in the tub is to focus on inhaling and exhaling, and at the same time concentrate on your big toe. The big toe is a reflex point in your body for your head and exits through the feet. This is a good way of releasing all your mental stress and calming your mind.
