You don't have to take a bath to be in a bath. Even out of water,we are soaking in the warm aquarium of our own cells.Two/thirds of the weight of the human body is from a liquid that has roughly the same density and chemical composition as the salty broth of the sea. Simply soaking in warm or cool water capitalizes on the physical and mechanical properties of water to promote mental health and relaxation. In ancient cultures water bathing had spiritual overtones. The Romans,cleanliness was next to godliness..it was a duty to patronize public baths. In Japan for centuries people have stood under sacred waterfalls to try to calm their minds. In India along the Ganges, pilgrims by the thoudands immerse themselves in the sluggish stream of the holy river.
In the Judeo-Christian tradition, baptism is still a rite of passage, a dunking ritual not unlike rebirthing. Water is the essence of all life bath in it and rejoice

A very interesting piece. Cleopatra is proof enough - bathing in milk I believe.
