#bathritual

As we prepare for the upcoming September Equinox, it’s an excellent time to explore water rituals as a way to clear stagnant energy from the body.

There are several ways to complete a water ritual - baths, showers, daily washing, or living water purification.

Across each of these practices, it’s important to remember:

〰️ The art of a spiritual bath uses symbolism to embrace the four elements that support us all and are the mainstay of any esoteric practice: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, which is why you’ll typically include bath salts, herbs, music, and incense into the practice.

〰️ While bathing and soaking are forms of physical water therapy, these types of water rituals are for healing and cleansing the spirit.

〰️ When you engage in ritual bathing practices, you are participating in an initiation to open yourself up to Spirit. It suggests that you are willing to listen to your higher self and begin to trust something outside of your rational mind.

Swipe through to tap into the practice that best suits your needs.

I made this little illustration called « Bath ritual » for our artCoven challenge on another platform.

Sprinkle in salt, put the bath bomb in the water along with the crystals and flowers. Dim the lights, light your candle. Relax.
