Soul Food

As much of a foodie as I am, and I would really love to sit around and write how much I love food, this entry is about the soul and the things that I do to feed mine. My time for myself is spent immersed in warm bubbly happiness in the bathtub. Now that I have a computer I put on my favorite Ingrid Michaelson Pandora station and soak with my fashion magazines that teach me all about how to be prettier. Really I just like the pictures, I am like a child who loves picture books! I know it sounds completely cliche' but candles really add to the experience! I fit all different ways into the bathtub and so I squirm around until I am comfortable and then I melt in all the gooey goodness of spending quiet time with myself and my favorite music. Sometimes I find my mind has taken over and the pretty picture isn't holding my attention anymore. I will unleash my wandering thoughts and let them roam freely. This is when they tend to reveal truths that I didn't know I knew. This is when I can truly be quiet and teach myself. I mull over decisions, I piece together troubles and problems, and I think about everything in my life.
My hard working body thanks me every moment I am in the tub. My muscles drink in the warmth and heal with it. More often than not I am having a bath to ease my muscles and not my mind. I recommend hot baths to my massage clients every single day, and wouldn't that just make me such a hypocrite if I didn't take time to enjoy one?
Another thing I do to feed my soul is work on my relationship with God. I study the scriptures, I say heartfelt prayers and I take time to study and conceptualize the things I learn each Sunday at church. Feeding the soul should be the most enjoyable of experiences. Speaking of which, all my bubbles are slowly popping without me enjoying them! I'm off!!!
