I want to share a visualization I've used for years that helps me when I'm in pain or just need a bit of clearing. Warning: this may not be good if you're fanatical about conserving water. Although I love water, I'm not really a bath person, unless it's a hot tub. I really prefer showers. So this exercise is designed for the shower.
While you're in the shower, take a moment to close your eyes and feel the water running down your body from the top of your head to your toes. Now visualize the water running through your body, again from the top of your head all the way down to your toes. Feel the water pouring out of your fingers and toes. As it runs through your body, see it gently washing away any pain, toxins, or negativity that may be in your body. The water runs down the drain and into Mother Earth, carrying the gunk from your body with it. Relax and enjoy the feeling of being cleansed from the inside out. Take a deep breath and let it out with a sigh. Before you finish your shower, thank the blessed element of water for washing away your pain. Then thank your body for everything it does for you every day.
When I do this exercise, whatever I'm cleansing may look different from time to time. Sometimes it looks like sludge, or crystals of dirt, or globs of gunk. It might just be a dark brown or grayish color washing out of me. This can be particularly powerful if you're going through some other kind of cleansing or fasting.
