How to Meditate Safely in the Shower?

 

Meditating in the shower reduces pain, lowers your blood pressure, and makes you sleep better. But it is common to fall down in the shower at a certain age. Therefore, before you meditate in the shower, you can make sure your shower tub is not slippery. Check your grab bars and handles are tightly bolted and not loose. Spray a non-slip spray or a rubber floor mat that sticks to the bathtub.

If you do not feel safe using a rubber floor mat in the bathtub, you can use a bath bench with handles or a medical shower chair. Also, you can use a bamboo shower floor bathmat outside of the bathtub. Clear the clutter from your bathtub and only use the items that you will use for your shower. Purchase a one in one shampoo and conditioner to wash your hair. Use bar soap instead of body wash to reduce too many soap suds in the bathtub.

Clean your bathtub and bath chair with mild dish soap and rinse well. After your bathtub is ready to use, you will be able to have a comfortable shower and meditate. Silence your cell phone and leave your cell phone in another room. Prepare yourself by breathing slowly while you wait for the water to get warm in the bathtub. Sit on your shower bench or chair and get your one in one shampoo with conditioner.

Close your eyes while you wash your hair. Then rinse your hair. Continue relaxing by inhaling and exhaling. Use your soap bar and wash your body. Rinse the soap.

Say a mantra or a phrase to yourself while you shower. After you are done taking a shower, slowly get out of the bathtub. Then dry your hair and your body with your bath towel. Put on your bathrobe and say a positive affirmation while you get dressed. Here are websites with more information about taking a shower safely and about meditating in the shower.
