1. Prepare the water: Fill a large pot or basin with enough water to submerge your body comfortably. Use filtered or spring water if possible to ensure purity. Place the pot on a stove or heat source.

7. Meditate or visualize: While in the bath take a few moments to meditate or visualize your desired outcome. Imagine the positive energy flowing into your body and any negative energy being released.
