Taking a Rainbow Flower Bath is a powerful self-care treatment. By rehydrating the flowers, seeds, buds, leaves, pistols, stamens - you are turning your bathwater into an amazing flower essence that contains every color of the rainbow. This can be extremely helpful during times of extreme stress, overwhelm and depression. Immersing yourself in a beautiful garden of flowers like this can bring you back to a balanced and relaxed state.
 
Also know that taking this bath and enjoying yourself in it becomes a powerful form of active meditation which is excellent for times when you're restless, and having a hard time sitting or concentrating and need to clear your head. By simply observing, touching, appreciating, breathing in the flowers in your bath, you're using your senses to be fully in the present moment or being mindful, and this is meditation. It's a form of active meditation which is much easier to do versus silent sitting meditation especially when we're restless and unable to sit still.
 
When all of our chakras or emotion centers are enveloped in Nature's healing magic in this way we're brought back to a state of equilibrium, and experience a greater sense of peace and safety. Not only are these baths an exquisite way to thank yourself for taking much needed time out for yourself, but they're also incredibly helpful when it comes to gaining fresh, new perspectives and understandings about life creating momentum needed to move forward when we've been feeling stuck.
 
There are instructional videos you can watch here that show you in detail how I run a Flower Bath, and if interested you can read a beautifully written description of meditation can be found HERE.
 
PLEASE NOTE: There have been times in my life that I've felt so low that I couldn't take care of my personal hygiene let alone run a bath for myself so if you know someone who is in a similar situation a great thing to do would be to run the bath for them so all they need to do is just get in.
