Soaking with intention
A bath ritual is the practice of bathing with deliberate, often spiritual intention—incorporating elements like candles, essential oils, salts, or meditation to transform routine hygiene into a ceremony of self-care or purification.
The term gained currency in wellness culture: My Sunday bath ritual helps me reset for the week.
Some bath rituals draw on religious or folk traditions involving cleansing for spiritual preparation.
