I wanted to share with you something that really helps me relax and be in a 'zen mode' while I am doing my dishes! First of all...I make doing dishes a ritual! I focus on the water (a cleansing element) and I sing a song about water while I am 'mindfully' washing the dish or pan. I love the song 'The 5th Element' by Yolanda Martinez!!!!!!! I sing the verse about water and feel the water run over my skin. I see the water run down the drain and think of all of the worries of the world being washed away. If I am in crisis, I focus on releasing the energy that is no longer serving me as they wash down the drain into our Earth Mother to be transmuted in to love.
The other fabulous thing I do, is use LAVENDER dish soap. I prefer the eco-friendly brand from Trader Joe's. (I use organic lavender hand wash too.) The lavender scent is so soothing and brings instant peace to me. I started using lavender sleeping pillows many moons ago and I have become addicted to the scent of lavender!
You can make your own lavender dish soap as well. Purchase an unscented eco-friendly dish soap and then add a few drops of lavender essential oil. When you add the oil.... do not forget to use 'sattva' and then reiki the bottle after you have finished.
When you are finished with your dish washing task...thank the water, our Earth Mother, and yourself. Start your day or end your eve with Peace of Mind and Love in your heart.
Joy-fullness Abound~
