Before you start, set an intention for this transformational escape, this sacred bath journey. You may want to journal and express what’s in your heart. Each bath time is sacred, treat it with love and indulgence. Prepare the space by lighting candles, a soft robe, you may also want to prepare a delicious body cream (i.e. coconut oil with a few drops of lavender and frankincense essential oils, therapeutic grade). If you don’t want to immerse yourself fully in water, I invite you to treat it as a bath for feet. It is also a powerful way to go through this journey as you will be inhaling sacred aromas of the essential oils and will be part of this transformational journey.
In the following pages, you will get 7 bath themes along with a prayer and an affirmation for each one. It’s up to you how often you want to do bathing but I recommend one bath theme a week. Given that it’s therapeutic not only for the mind but also for the soul, it’s important to give yourself time to fully focus on each bath theme (i.e. for the theme of letting go, truly spending some time letting go. You might want to accompany your bathing with meditations and walks). Take your time, the most important part of this healing work is not to rush. Directions: Put a few drops of each essential oil in a cup of Epsom Salt, mix it well and throw this dreamy mix in the bath full of water. Temperature of the water should be warm, not too hot so that you could focus on the theme and not be taken by the heat. It should be comfortable. If you haven’t taken baths before, start with 10 minutes and work up to 20-30 minutes in a bath. Feel your body, it will tell you when it’s time to get out of the bath. i.e. Letting go bath: Speak the prayer from the heart, immerse yourself in water and relax. Focus on the affirmation and see yourself letting go. Feel the water, how it’s washing it all away. Give it all to God, you can close your eyes and visualize how He is taking what no longer serves you. Breath in deeply. You can repeat this practice during the week.
Let the journey begin!
