Praying is a perfect activity for a Home Spa party for even Jesus departed to a solitary place to pray. (Mark 1:35) Therefore, depart to a solitary area to pray privately for a few minutes.

If you have yet opened your heart and life to Jesus, this is also the perfect time to do so for He wants to come in and help you manage your stressful situation for He says, Look, I am knocking on the door and if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him. (Revelations 3:20)

So open your heart and life to Jesus by turning away from your sins and declaring that Jesus is Lord and believing that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. (Romans 10:9) Let Him in and He will give you His peace for He assures us that in Him we may have peace but in the world we will have tribulation. (John 16:33)

5 TIPS TO MAKE THE HOME SPA MENTALLY RELAXING

 There are 5 things that you can do to make your home spa a place where you can relax mentally. These include:

1.  Ensure the home spa is a private refuge where you can let down your guard and relax. If you do not have a room that is totally yours, plan to use another room in your home as your personal sanctuary when the other members of your household are not using it.

2. Clear the clutter from you at home spa because clutter creates a chaotic environment which makes it difficult for one to relax. Declutter your home spa space by throwing away or giving away all the things in that room that you do not need or use to your relatives, friends, a children's home or any other charity or throw them away. Store the useful items tidily in beautiful containers.

3. Beautify the home spa space with curtains or drapes or wall hangings in a gentle green since the color green is said to impart a sense of calm.

4. Experiment with a blue bulb of the right wattage to light your home spa room since blue is said to be mentally soothing. Better still, enjoy the gentle glow of soy candles instead of the harsh glare or electrical lights.

5. Silence noise in your spa space by since high levels of background noise can also impair relaxation by turning down the TVs, radios and music systems and using ear plugs. Consider buying sources of white noise to cancel out the irritating ones.
