Do you have trouble unwinding in the evening after a full day?
When we don't unwind before we go to bed, we may often find ourselves lying there awake. We think we've been unwinding by watching TV in the evening, but our lack of sleep tells us otherwise. Television and computers keep the mind moving from one screen to the next. They don't really give the mind a break.
A great way to leave the pressures and the worries of the day behind and to decompress completely is to draw a nice warm bath to soak up all your stress. Water has a lot of soma (nourishing vibration) which can absorb the excess agni (transforming vibrations) and marut (deciding and moving vibrations) from the day.
The warmth of the water also helps to open up the vibrational and physical channels in the body so that the balanced flow of prana (soma, agni and marut) is restored in the body. When prana is flowing in a balanced way, vata does not get disturbed. When the flow of prana is blocked in any way, we get agitated.
Imagine a pinball bouncing in a pinball game. When it rolls unimpeded, it's movement is graceful. But when it gets stuck between two bumpers it bounces back and forth with lots of agitation. This is exactly what happens to the mind when the flow of prana gets blocked. The energy which normally flows starts bouncing back and forth and our minds just won't relax.
A bath opens the channels and lets the prana flow again, and takes away the agitation. If you want to add more relaxation and channel opening ability to your bath, these Soma Nidra Body Cleansing Pouches deliver powerful herbs through the skin while you bathe.
Lavender calms the mind and heart. Valerian calms the mind, and it unblocks and detoxifies the physical channels if they are full of ama (partially digested food material). Chamomile is well known for its calming properties and its ability to settle you for sleep.
These three herbs help remove the stress of life even more easily and thoroughly than a bath can do alone. They help connect the vibrational body with the flow of soma. When the vibrational body is relaxed and the channels are open to receive soma, sleep comes easily and your rest is deeply satisfying.
This product contains two cleansing pouches (2oz muslin bags) containing the herbs just mentioned, and organic oatmeal. When you dip the pouch into warm milk and rub it on your skin like soap, it cleans the skin while nourishing it.
Milk and oatmeal both contain a lot of soma. The combination of opening the channels with herbs and warmth and providing soma to the skin with water, milk and oatmeal has the effect of calming and deeply relaxing your mind and body.
Afterwards, it is necessary to use Vaidya Mishra's Deep Moisturizing Lotion to restore soma to the skin because the herbs do draw out toxins, and toxins burn soma. Vaidya Mishra suggests using the Deep Moisturizing Lotion on the lower arms and legs (below the elbows and knees) and on the spine.
