Physical comfort is important during meditation or the mind is anchored to the real world. Sure there is discipline in ignoring pins and needles… but if we wanted to punish ourselves we could take up jogging!
And yes, I’ve felt the connection between a warm bath and a nurtured feeling. Unfortunately, at 6 foot 2 inches, baths are NEVER long enough! My knees are usually left high and dry, haha. Nigel Coates.

I use the meditation cushion first and then take a nice Epsom Salt bath. After that you are in paradise.

I know some people would think it dangerous, but something about relaxing in a bath for me is amazing. Ive done ‘conscious breathwork’ before, and they suggest a warm bath creates nuturuing feelings (such as being in the womb). That is only possible with a helper to keep an eye on you – as the experiences can be profound.
My long legs reach the end of the bath – so there is no chance of my head going under, but knowing I wont be disturbed, and the warm embrace of the water creates a space where a short mind-clearing meditation works best for me.
