The Best Soaks in the World
·
·
Soaking in nature (literally and figuratively) brings a oneness with the world around us. Soaking brings calm and attuned senses. It makes us appreciate our “place in the family of things,” as the poet Mary Oliver says.
There are some soak spots that make that connection incredibly clear. If you want some soaking thirst traps take a look at Pamukkale Thermal Baths in Turkey. The landscape is breathtaking and the pools serene.
Or, Uunartoq Hot Springs in southern Greenland which have been in use for over a thousand years.
Takagara Onsen in Japan brings together the mindfulness of Zen with the beauty of nature.
Let’s say that today, we are not able to get to one of those spots. All is not lost. We can connect with ourselves and nature even if we don’t get on a plane. It’s National Hot Tub Day, so soaking is celebrated no matter where we are. In our book, the best soak in the world is the one we can get to today.
So gather yourself, your great smelling Alpine Provisions products, a towel, and head for the water in celebration of “ the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain . . . the mountains and the rivers,” as Mary Oliver says, and let the world offer itself to your imagination.
