I’ve never been to a sensory deprivation tank so I just recreate the spirit of it this way. I usually have the shower run to let the bath fill up for some nice ambient noise. A bath is truly the washing machine of the soul

~So I’ve gotten into taking baths. I can’t explain it but it feels more analog. I used to think of it as a more time consuming option but now I feel it’s actually more efficient. The pressure of designating time for it to be both functional and experiential leads to letting myself get bored, which brings about a clear but gentle conclusion. Boredom is a luxury. I used to think new thoughts so often out of boredom, but now it feels like I’m trying to be productive or I’ve left my body entirely, so I’ve been leaning in to get back to active boredom. There are plenty of ways to make it an experience. The only time I’ll drink ice in a drink is in a bath, because effectively you’re already a soup. So drinking la croix or gatorade on ice in the bath is a crazy experience to feel your guts being all cold and your skin being warm. A good way to get back into my body is to make it the intersection of polarizing temperatures. I also love the idea of robes but I can’t figure out when I’m meant to wear one, and the best I can tell is around bathtime. I love putting the Dr Teals Lavender salts right under the faucet because it either dissolves them or disperses them from jump as it’s filling, and then the Almond Cleansing Oil from Trader Joes is a moisturizing option for your cleansing tasks that take place as you’re brining your body in salt.

I started taking baths this past semester because we have a beautiful ceramic tub in my campus housing block. It’s now turned into prime decompression time for me. Sometimes I’ll read a book, sometimes I’ll just lay back and close my eyes for a little bit. Now I have a playlist of calm music I listen to in there sometimes. I truly look forward to it every day.

what is a recommendation if not an expression of gratitude for some part of your life ? a provocation for others to feel that same gratitude?
