The warm water envelops my body as I slowly lean back in the bathtub. Small waves caress my skin, and I feel every bit of tension melt away. I close my eyes, take a deep breath… and let myself be. My fingers glide slowly over my skin, consciously, calmly, savoring every single touch. The warmth spreads through me, making me soft, heavy, and at the same time pleasantly alert to every sensation. Everything feels more intense, closer… as if I'm experiencing myself anew. I let myself drift, losing myself a little in this moment—just me, the water, and this soft, warm tingling sensation that washes over me.
