Soaking In Stillness: The Daily Practice Of Gratitude In Saying Goodbye To The Day
At the end of the
long productive day, after
all the clients, the bus rides, the highs and the lows, there is
one sacred ritual I practice
that brings me back to center: I soak and massage my feet with eucalyptus scented Epsom salt bath in my at home pedi spa.
The scent wraps around me like a cozy blanket and fills up
my whole place with the healing potion. I close my eyes and say to myself: This my time, Everything else can wait. I did good today. I deserve this.
This is a gesture of self love. My feet tired from standing, walking pressing
the pedals of the equipment at work, finally rest, I thank them for carrying
me. I thank my body. Most of all thank you
God for giving me strength to keep showing up and honour you with life of
service to others.
Gratitude washes over me in this daily quiet ritual, and I
say goodbye to another wholesome day.



What a wonderful cleansing ritual. Having a relaxing transition from work to home is a great idea. I see a lot of Shinto principles in your cleansing and meditative practices and rituals.

ReplyDeleteI especially loved the way you thank your feet. That simple acknowledgment of the body that carries us through every high and low is so tender and intentional. It’s a reminder that gratitude doesn’t have to be grand, it can live in warm water, quiet moments, and whispered prayers.
