☆ soothing　気持ちを落ち着かせる

============================

“Soothing” can be used to talk about something that helps you relax.
It can also be used for something that helps you feel better physically.
Here are some examples so you can see the difference.

Emotional
Please put on some nice, soothing music.
His relaxed manner was very soothing.
My yoga teacher has a very soothing voice.

Physical
The soothing lotion helped my sunburnt skin.
Put these soothing cold tea bags on your tired eyes.

What do you find soothing?

See you,
Chris
