2. Light the candles and turn off the harsh overhead electric lights.
3. Step into the shower and adjust the water to a relaxing, warm temperature.
4. Stand under the water stream, focusing entirely on the auditory and physical sensations.
5. Blow out the candles carefully once you are completely dried and dressed.
