Social Connection — Warming Botanical Bath Soak

We speak to many people —
and yet, there are times when we still feel alone.

Exchanges grow brief,
words replace glances,
and the silence between notifications stretches longer.

Little by little, we close in —
out of habit, fatigue,
or simply because we’re no longer sure how to open again.

And yet, human connection is a vital warmth —
a quiet reminder
that we belong to something greater than ourselves.

This ritual was created
as an invitation to re-open:
a simple moment to come closer to oneself,
and, gently, to the world.

The Experience

When moving through a period of withdrawal,
a warm bath can become a quiet place
where closeness is allowed to return.

I composed this blend as a warm synergy,
woven from soft spices and woody notes*:

• Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis)
• Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum)
• Geranium Bourbon (Pelargonium graveolens)
• Amyris (Amyris balsamifera)
• Virginia Cedar (Juniperus virginiana)

Together, they create a welcoming atmosphere —
like stepping into a warm room
after being out in the cold.

Dead Sea salts dissolve slowly,
leaving a gentle mineral touch on the skin.

*For external use only — not a treatment.

How to Use

Add about three tablespoons (≈ 30 g) to a warm bath.
Stay quietly, breathe in the spiced-woody notes,
and offer yourself this moment without expectation.

What This Ritual Invites

• A gesture of soft re-opening toward self and others
• A warm, comforting atmosphere
• A quiet presence
• Skin softened by mineral salts

This ritual has no urgency, no demand.
It simply accompanies the subtle movement
that brings us gently back toward others —
in our own time.

A Note from Christian

Each Hanami botanical bath soak is crafted by hand,
at a slow and intentional pace.

Its fragrance is natural — sometimes surprising —
reflecting the essence of plants
in their simplest expression.
