Thanks gma45, I sometimes turn on the shower and just sit in the tub with the water coming down on me. I call it being in the "rainforest." I imagine that I am in the Amazon - in the jungle - where warm rains come down all the time. It can be more soothing than a regular bath. I imagine colorful tropical birds perched high above me, and the rain falling between the leaves of the trees.

Back in the 40's and 50's, a standard practice for treating patients in psychiatric hospitals was to put them in tubs of warm water. A sort of a canvass was put over them so they were confined to the tub. I don't believe in forcing people into tubs, and they no longer do that, but I'll bet it made some people feel better. (Well actually I just googled it, and it doesn't sound like it was done too humanely.)
