A Peace Bath...

Draw a bath for yourself. (Directions for a showers are given below) Pour a tablesppon or so of milk into a large bowl of water. Say:

Water ripple on the breeze...

Add several rose petals (Fresh or dried) to the bowl of water and milk. Say:

Thistledown flies through the air...

Stir the water, milk, and rose petals with the index finger of your right hand. Say:

Silent as the mighty seas....

Gently pour the mixture that you've created into the bath. Say:

Peaceful here without a care.

Step in. Bathe for as long as you wish. Let the water absorb negative thoughts and worries. Allow yourself a few moments of healing peace.

(For a shower, use smaller bowl. Fill with very warm water. Follow the directions but, instead of pouring the mixture into the tub, pour it over your head. Say "peaceful here without a care" before doing this or you'll end up spluttering in a unpeaceful manner. Baths are far more effective then showers for this purpose.)
