5 Elemental Cleansing Bath Mix

Take a tea cup, fill it with a good handful of sea salt. Hold the cup in your hands and say:

"May this creature of Earth cleanse and protect me."

Add about a table spoon of base oil, olive oil perhaps or sunflower oil. Hold the cup in your hands and say:

"May this creature of Water cleanse and protect me."

Add three drops of sage and three drops of rosemary essential oil. Stir a bit with a spoon so that the oil mixed with the base oil and salt. Hold the cup in your hands and say:

"May these creatures of Air and Spirit cleanse and protect me."

Go out into the bathroom and light a tea light in a holder in the bathroom. Bring the cup quickly through the flame three times. Hold the cup in your hands and say:

May this creature of Fire cleanse and protect me."

Add the mixture in the cup to your bath water. You should have run the tub before you start the ritual as the essential oils evaporate quickly. Sit in the water for at least ten minutes. This little ritual works well as a ritual bath before a larger ceremony.

This recipe is just perfect !!! I'm a fan of those herbs...especially sage and rosemary...and what can someone say about the strong cleansing power of sea salt? [thumbup] [thumbup] [thumbup]

A ritual bath involving salt should only ever be as salty as your tears. Any more salty and it becomes a salt bath, not a ritual bath. I have no idea where I read this, but I remember thinking at the time that it was quite an interesting piece of useless information.

Correct...fill the tub with water and add just 5 to 7 spoons of sea salt.
