A hot bath regenerates your soul and rekindles your metabolic fires.
Flowers are the most passionate expre ssion of nature. The violet, ya that one in your grass, will bloom in the spring simply forthe joy of blooming, their reproductive blooms happen mid-summer and are under the leaves. WOW!! LET'S ALL BE VIOLETS!
Everyone I know has a pot of flowers on their porch or a few roses in a garden bed. Plants are generous with their compassion and enjoy helping you remove negative energy and rejuvenate your soul!
HOW TO DO IT: use your intuition and if you want something more concrete I have a list below of flower and what they do. You need at least 12 flower, one of our bath bombs, or soaking salts and some time to relax.
I like to put flowers in a mason jar add flowers and let them steep in hot water for a few minutes or hours. If you have an outside altar it is great to set it outside for a while. Use the full moon, new moon or sun to activate your flower infused water. Add a crystal after the water cools. Pour this into your tub! But be sure to save a few flowers to let float in your tub while you sink into a wonderful flower infused tub!
1. drop the bomb or salt into the water
2. add flowers water and fresh flowers
3. add yourself

HAPPY BATHING, KIM
A word of caution: A hot bath also lowers your blood pressure, so avoid it if yours is already low; otherwise, it may leave you weak and faint. This may lead to the belief that a hot bath is a remedy for high blood pressure, and this is true—but the effect doesn't last. A cold shower, on the other hand, spikes your blood pressure for a few seconds but lowers it in the long run. If you have heart failure or any kind of heart problem, you should avoid hot baths due to the fluid pressure the water exerts on your chest, which can trigger or escalate heart failure. A warm half bath (where the water rises only to your navel) is a good alternative.
