My absolute favorite way to cleanse my energy is to a Spiritual Bath!

Whether you are a water sign, earth sign, air sign, or fire sign, a Spiritual Bath is an extremely nourishing way to cleanse and recharge your mind, body, and soul!

Here's what you'll need... surround the bath with crystals, herbs & flowers, essential oils, sea salt or epsom salt, and candles. These are essential pieces to this practice, as they call in all the elements (water, earth, air, fire) for a truly healing experience in every way.

HERBS & FLOWERS

Herbs are incredible for healing! You can use whatever you have in your garden, or you can use dried herbs and/or essential oils. I personally love to add rosemary, lavender, and mint to every Spiritual Bath. Flowers are important as well, as flowers are incredibly high vibrational gifts from Mother Earth, the greatest source of feminine energy. Add the flowers that you feel called to add.

If you're wanting to focus on your chakras, choose the colors that resonate with each chakra center, but ultimately add what you want because it is what is right for you. Don’t overthink this, just pick what feels good for you. If you have no idea where to start, grab some roses from the store (any color of your choice is perfect), as roses are the ultimate symbol of love, and in this case, this bath is the essence of self-love.

Perhaps you can even start the process by heading out to buy yourself some flowers! Treat this Spiritual Bath and the pre-bath foraging activities with sacred intention. Spoil yourself!

ESSENTIAL OILS

Add some essential oils to your water, in addition to a sprinkle of sea salt or epsom salt. Rose and lavender essential oils are good choices, but if you don’t have these on hand, use one that feels healing for you - an oil that lifts your spirits and connects with your soul. Using natural fragrances and products is going to be more balancing for this area of your body.

HOW TO TAKE A SPIRITUAL BATH:

Gather all your ingredients with intention. Go into this with an exuberant and luxurious energy. Spoil yourself!
Turn the lights low or off completely, using candlelight to illuminate your space.
Get some water for hydration
Pick your favorite playlist or use meditation music. I love the Meditative Mind channel on YouTube!
Start running your water
Set Your Intention for The bath (read more on this below)
Step into the water
One by one, add all the ingredients to the water, being intentional and connecting to each one’s healing energy before placing it into the water or onto your body, giving gratitude for it’s assistance during this healing bath
Enjoy the bath and do whatever it is that you feel called to do. Put the herbs and petals on your body, sing, cry - just allow yourself the gentleness to go with the flow of where your body and soul wants to take you for your greatest healing.
When the bath is complete, you will know it is time. Give thanks for this experience and remember your intention. Gently remove all the things from your water and off your body

SET THE INTENTION:

This spiritual bath can be customized to your healing! Symbolically, a bath is a great experience to either cleanse your energy, release negative energies, and/or submerge yourself in new energies. I suggest creating a healing portal, so to speak.

For instance, once I step into the bath ____ will happen, and once I step out of the bath, the outcome is ____. An example of this could be: Once I step into this bath, I will connect to my Sacral Chakra and the energies it is storing within me. The plants, crystals, and elements I place into the water and onto my body will assist and amplify my healing journey today. Once I step out of the bath, all low-vibrating energies are removed from my body and energetic field.

WHEN TO DO A SPIRITUAL BATH:

You can do an energy cleansing bath in the morning, evening, even during lunch. Weekends may offer you a little more time, but you can take a spiritual bath whenever you want! You can do them daily, and they are a great tool if you are feeling down, burnt out, aggravated, or low-vibe.

A full moon is a beautiful time to release energies with this spiritual bath.

A new moon is a powerful time to call in balance and peace into your body and energetic field, cleansing your energy to make space for your new intentions.
