For thousands of years, we humans have been “taking the waters” as a way to restore, and also heal illness. A ritual bath that will simultaneously relax and stimulate you, is a rare and wonderful thing.
Gather together
* 4 cups (720g) of Epsom salts
* a large glass bowl
* ½ cup (120ml) of almond carrier (or base) oil
* 6 drops comfrey essential oil
* 4 drops eucalyptus essential oil
* 4 drop rosemary essential oil;
* 6 drops bergamot essential oil
Pour the salts into the bowl and fold in the carrier (or base) oil. Now add in the essential oils, stirring after each is added. Continue to blend the mixture until it is moistened thoroughly. You can add more almond oil if necessary.
When your bath tub is one-quarter full, add one-quarter of the salt mixture under the faucet. Breathe in deeply ten times, inhaling and exhaling fully before you recite this:
Healing spirits I offer myself to you.
Remove from me any impurities
Of the spirit and mind, I open myself to you,
Body, heart, and soul.
With harm to none and healing to me, so mote it be.
When the tub is full, step inside and exercise your breath ten more times. Repeat the prayer while you use the rest of the salts to scrub your body, carefully avoiding your eye area. Rest and rejuvenate as long as you like while visualizing your renewed health and vigor.
