I love soaking in the bath. It’s therapeutic, regenerative and downright heavenly and it’s no coincidence that I have a wonderful bathtub…it’s extra deep and long enough that I can actually float in it! It was a priority on my building “wish list”!
When was the last time you lay in water and relaxed enough that your body actually floated? Not moving to stay afloat, not swimming but…completely…and...totally…relaxing…every…muscle…releasing…all…tension.
As a child, I lived on a lake when I was growing up. I was in the water so much that my skin was almost permanently prune-like and I remember even then, being intrigued with the feeling of complete relaxation that comes with floating. The little girl who played in the water...all day, every day...seems long ago and far away now. It’s been years since I’ve let myself play and relax like that.
Floating requires all or nothing. If there’s any tension or resistance, we quickly sink. It occurred to me as I was relaxing in my bubbles the other morning, that the same thing was true in other areas of my life…the more resistance I create, the more likely I am to tire and “sink”.
Epiphanies can happen in the most unexpected places!
Everything that we want is downstream... And you don't have even have to turn the boat and paddle downstream…just let go of the oars and the current will carry you.

I’ll be posting next from the sunshine…floating somewhere downstream…
