Cleansing Technique: Foot-Soaking

When the day is over (also anytime), relax by soaking your feet in salt water while meditating. This technique relieves the body from stress and allows for a peaceful and relaxed night's rest.

Sit comfortably in a chair with your hands out on your lap,
facing Shri Mataji’s photograph. Light a candle in front of
Shri Mataji's photograph.Place your feet in a basin or
bucket of luke warm water containing a handful of salt.

• Meditate for 10 to 15 minutes.
• You can say some affirmations to cleanse the chakras.
• Rinse and dry your feet.
• Flush the water down the toilet. Try not to look directly in the bucket before flushing.
• Don’t use the foot-soak bucket for any other purpose.

Foot soaking is a Sahaja Yoga technique which many people will recognize from everyday life. Quit simply it is the Sahaja Yoga version of putting the feet in a bowl of warm water as a way of relaxing at the end of the day. It is best done in the evening, and the main difference in Sahaja terms is that salt is added to the water to represent the earth element. In this way we use all the elements - fire (with the candle), air, water and earth. The element of water rinses away, and salt (earth element) sucks or absorbs away negativity. Vibrations are the key to helping these processes work.
