Bringing balance into our life experiences and transitions is a key to retaining individuality and direction. reminds us that change does not always require a struggle or fight. When we feel safe and secure, and realize our inner beauty, the world around us is no longer our driving force. In this effortless, self reliant state, change comes easily, and all your cares just melt away. Here's one of the comments on the Gentle Persuasion bath salts and meditation: I've never been so relaxed in a bath in my life! The moment I sat down in it, I felt like the weight of the world was picked up. I felt comforted, protected, and completely relaxed, and for the time I was in that bath everything was okay and 'phew'.

One of the biggest challenges we can face is trying to be strong all the time. Sure, it's a grown-up thing to be able to hold it all together. Many of us go far beyond, not just trying to keep their own life within their defined parameters, but the lives of others as well (family, friends, coworkers, universes. Don't laugh, some of us will try anything!). When do you get to let go, when do you have the opportunity to receive, or heal? Here's one of the comments received: So, my mom called me last Wednesday and gave me an update on life. She has had extra stress for a couple years with a restaurant venture, and it's finally coming to an end. She decided to take a bath with the bath salts I gave her for Christmas. She said when she first sat in the bath after getting it ready, her body just started shaking and she couldn't control it. She said it felt like all this stuff was coming out of her, almost as if it was poison being removed or something. She just broke down and let it all out, crying and praying. And she was actually able to relax by then end. If I know her, she is definitly a bottler, always has been, so this sounds really good for her. These salts seem like some miracle to have washed away her pain. J.K.
