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
