I like this

http://lesliekenton.com/health/into-the-bliss/secrets-healing-bath/

[CLKD]

I use bubble bath in warm water: cup of tea, Very Good Book, occasionally scented candles, warmed towel on getting out.     the only time I couldn't lay in a bath was when deeply depressed, it was so agitated I would leap in, wash quickly, leap out and sit ............ feeling guilty about all the hot water I had wasted 

I also love to put my feet/ankles in a bowl of soapy water ...........

[Ju Ju]

Baths don't do it for me, though I love my shower. I have a favourite walk near here. You can walk for 3 miles and not see a soul. I love to look at the beautiful countryside, listen to the birdsong and feel a connection with nature. I feel this soothes my soul.

[Rowan]

That's another one for me Ju Ju too

also another one is an Aromatheraphy massage and even better an Indian head massage (a tingly blissfulness)

[Ju Ju]

Yes and I love reflexology.

[Rowan]

I'm a trained reflexologist, but it was never my favourite treatment to give (and an awful lot to learn) but I never complained when I was offered  one, you just lay back and relax, we were trained to give a foot massage with essential oil peppermint lotion before and after treatment.

Another bliss as you say

[honeybun]

For me it's the sea. A walk along the shore lifts my spirits. Even just sitting listening to the waves is very soothing.

I could never move away from my coastline. I would fade away.

I'm with Honeybun, i love being beside water whether it is the sea, a river or a loch i can get lost in the sound and tranquility that it gives. 

[CLKD]

Yep - by water helps me unless it's rain  - DH and I spend lots of time by our garden ponds 

[Rowan]

Being by the sea must be the ultimate stress reliever, failing that lying in bed listening to a downfall of rain.

I have to content myself with sea and rain CDs.
