Bathing Rituals

The art of bathing has been passed down through the centuries. Most of us have heard of the public baths built in Rome or the bathing rituals of the Japanese. The Ganges River in India is also a site for public bathing, more a place to cleanse and purify the soul as than just cleansing the body.
Soaking in a tub of warm water with candles and the scent of essential oils can literally take one away to another place where you can relax and feel energized and restored in mind and spirit. This is definitely a comfort place that soothes the soul.
This is a Ritual for the Soul and a sacred place for your spirit.

What places and rituals soothe your spirit as you recover from life's daily stresses?
