The Shower ‘Essentials’ my Body Demanded. Literally.
My body speaks to me. It really does. Since the spiritual awakening, I can hear it loud and clear. And there’s never any doubt about what it wants. It does know how to take good care of itself: its wants and needs are specific. Before I was ‘too busy in the head’ to hear the body talk. With the collapse of the attention paid to the thinking mind the body finally had a chance to be heard… and to be loved.
So it would make sense to say that the pampering factor has become INCREDIBLY important since my spiritual awakening. Loving the body is now part of an available inner-structure because the channels have been cleared and there are no obstacles (most of the time) (and by ‘loving’ I mean viscerally, as ONE with it and not in relationship with it which would mean I’m somehow separate from it thus rejecting it. Hope that makes sense.).
So the body said: “Go and get pampering essentials for when we’re in the shower. Make sure you also get something to rub your legs for after the shower, because pampering doesn’t end when come out of the shower”.
As I said, the body is very specific when it tells me what it needs.
So I decided to get myself these ‘essentials’.
I’ve always had a problem with sponges. They feel dirty and they’re just ‘hanging around there’, gathering dust… but these essentials feel clean. I can hang them up nicely (note the little bit of rope some of them have) and that means they’ll dry without getting mouldy.
Here’s the brush my body wanted for vigorous scrubbing after the shower (mainly for the legs – and, yes, it is softer than what it looks):
And here’s the short brush it wanted for scrubbing while in the shower:
Here’s the brush for the face, while in the shower (VERY SOFT!):
So, there you go. I’m VERY excited about trying my new essentials and I can’t wait to see what my body says 🙂
