Preperation:
- Begin by running a warm bath. As the water flows, gather your ingredients and focus on your intention for the bath: emotional healing and release.
- Add 1 cup of dried or fresh chamomile flowers to the bathwater. Chamomile will begin to infuse the water with its calming properties, working to reduce anxiety and bring about emotional peace. If you prefer, you can steep the flowers in hot water for 10 minutes first and then pour the infusion into the bath.
- Add 1 cup of dried or fresh rose petals. As the rose petals float in the water, take a moment to inhale their soothing fragrance. Visualize the petals opening your heart, allowing you to release any negative emotions or trauma that you’ve been holding onto.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of dried or fresh calendula flowers into the bath. Calendula’s vibrant yellow-orange petals are symbolic of the sun and warmth, helping to comfort and protect the emotional body. Allow the flowers to float and infuse the water with their healing energy.
- Finally, pour 1 cup of milk into the bath. The milk will help to soften and soothe your skin, while also adding a sense of nourishment and comfort to the bath. Milk is symbolic of renewal and purity, making it an essential ingredient in this emotional healing ritual.
- Soak in the bath for 20-30 minutes. As you relax, close your eyes and visualize the water washing away all negative emotions and pain. Imagine the flowers and milk nurturing both your skin and your emotional body, leaving you feeling refreshed and balanced.
