Showering is the best part of the day.
A warm, watery sanctuary to sing freely, cleanse fully and release the mind. Amplified with aromatherapy and sensorial texture a shower can become a centering time for the eureka! moment, an escapist voyage, and a curative therapy. Neurological studies prove that the mind relaxes while showering. This relaxation allows the brain to think more creatively. An interesting fact to embellish this idea is that many Nobel prizes have been awarded to scientists and mathematicians who spent years trying to resolve problems only to come to their solutions not while concentrating in the lab but while lathering in a hot shower.* In essence a shower is a release of creativity. Coupling the brain benefits with the life-enhancing feeling of relaxation and the beauty enhancing the impact of purifying the skin and boosting blood flow - a morning shower holds the potential of an incredible day, an evening shower the potential for a deep night's sleep, an afternoon shower a boost of warmth and energy.
*”Where Do Eureka Moments Come From?”--Maria Konnikova
