After all, why has this been said in the scriptures regarding bathing?
Many things are told in our scriptures regarding bathing. There is a fixed time for bathing and taking bath at the same time helps in controlling all the chakras of your body.
At the same time, some rules related to this have also been made in the scriptures, which are considered necessary to be followed. Among such rules are not to bathe naked, not to bring any disorder in the mind while bathing and not to wear shoes or slippers on the feet while bathing.
You must have often heard the elders in the house talking about new rules. In fact, by following all these rules, prosperity remains in the house and the body also remains healthy. Mainly it is said that you should not wear slippers or shoes while bathing.
To know in detail about the reasons behind this, we talked to Astrologer Dr. Aarti Dahiya ji. Let us learn from them some things about this matter written in the scriptures.
According to the scriptures, why should one bathe barefoot?
Since ancient times, it has been advised not to wear slippers or shoes while bathing. It is believed that when we take a bath, our feet absorb and transmit energy, thus providing peace to the body and mind.
Taking a bath in this way helps in removing any negative energy from your body (ways to remove negative energy) and maintaining a harmonious relationship with the earth’s energy. It has been given a very important place in astrology because through the feet the entire energy of water enters the person’s body and helps the body to remain healthy.
Bathing barefoot gives energy to the body from the ground.
If the soles of our feet are in direct contact with the ground while bathing, then the energy of the ground also enters the body, which is called grounding energy in science. When you bathe barefoot, your feet are more receptive to this grounding energy which also spreads the energy throughout the body.
Due to this, all the centers of the body also become energetic. Among the chakras of the body, chakra one is related to feelings of security, stability, and connection to the physical world. Bathing barefoot is believed to help balance and activate the body’s root chakra, allowing a harmonious flow of energy throughout the body.
Bathing barefoot maintains purity and cleanliness
It is believed that bathing barefoot promotes cleanliness and brings positive energy into the body. If we use slippers while bathing which are used outside also, then it causes negative energy to flow inside the house also.
The slippers connect with the earth’s energy to drain negative energy from the body and aura, while bathing barefoot helps release toxins and impurities.
What is astrology’s opinion on bathing barefoot?
According to astrology, bathing barefoot is considered a symbolic way of connecting with nature and God. It is a way of expressing humility and respect towards the Earth and its energies.
Water is related to Varun Dev and when you bathe barefoot, it is considered as respecting Varun Dev. It is considered suitable for all types of spiritual practices.
Is it okay to bathe barefoot according to science
Our feet contain many nerve endings and are highly sensitive to temperature and texture. Bathing barefoot can heighten this sensitivity, allowing you to take full advantage of the sensations of the water and the energy of the earth.
However, it also depends on your personal preference because some people also believe that if you are taking bath in a place like bathroom and using any electrical appliance then you should wear slippers on your feet. It is advisable to take bath barefoot so that the entire energy of water and land can flow into the body.
According to both astrology and science, you are advised not to wear slippers or shoes while bathing, so that you can get full energy.
