Work your way down your abdomen, legs, arms, and hands, feeling into these spaces and being aware how a sense of calm and peace washes over you. Feel into each energetic center in your body and what is being realigned.I recommend taking a shower immediately prior to your bath sans soap, lotion, deodorant, fragrance, or anything else that could create a barrier to the plant essence penetrating your skin. 3.
