As the year comes to an end, cleansing is much needed. Reflecting on the past year, fantasizing and envisioning the future. 2020 is an angel number, an angel number that represents you are about to achieve your life's dreams. 2020 is a year for change, for possibilities and new beginnings. We are encouraged to trust our instincts and listen to our inner voice and follow your pure truth. Set up goals that you are passionate about as you are about to unveil the possibilities to reach your your wildest achievements. We welcome this magical 2020 with open arms. We encourage you to leave all that does not serve you in 2019 and welcome 2020 with true appreciation for the possibilities that are about to unfold before you. Your talents, instincts, and inner strength will be your guide, and your guardian angels will also be beside you every step of the way. Before we can bestow in the hopefulness of 2020 - we need to renew our mind and spirit.


In order to do this properly, we need to renew, recharge and re-connect with Ancient- Vibrations ritual bath recipe. Don't you ever feel extra yummy after a long hot shower or bath? Your entire body feels more integrated with itself as a whole. Heart, mind spirit and body all coming together, feeling Calmer. Since the dawn of time, cleansing ourselves has taken on many meanings.

Water itself symbolizes growth and rebirth. We are cleansing all that does not serve us mentally and physically. Water brings growth and rebirth. Humans, plants, and animals need it to live, thrive, and multiply. Water feeds our Earth Consciousness. It symbolizes life, growth, purity, flow, sensuality, emotion, and energy.

Take some time for yourself and bless yourself with the gift of renewal. Cleanse that aura, body and mind. At this time in your life, to mindfully cut ties with the past, or specific past hurt. You have made a decision to no longer perpetuate old patterns that are no longer working for you, or serving you, and use the cleansing ritual bath to release this old energy, as well as call in new energy into your life.

* for additional cleansing, feel free to do some dry brushing before you hop into the bath. Dry brushing brings extra benefit for cleansing and detoxing the lymphatic system.

The following are some of the reasons why baths are so beneficial:

To detox the body when you’re coming down with a cold

To ease sore muscles

To calm the mind

To cleanse the body

to cleanse the aura


However, when you create a cleansing ritual bath for renewal, you powerfully create some additional benefits:

You intentionally carve out a space for yourself, at this time in your life, to mindfully cut ties with the past, or specific past hurts. You have made a decision to no longer perpetuate old patterns that are no longer working for you, or serving you, and use the cleansing ritual bath to release this old energy, as well as call in new energy into your life. Because we are unable to fully receive until we truly let go of our death grip on our fears, and our bodies know this. You bring in plant energy, spirit energy, ancestral energy, and even angel, elemental, and other energy from those in your “Team of Light” who can help you manifest your cleansing intention. You create a deeper connection to Spirit in a way that helps you let go of the old and welcome the new.If it’s at the end of the year, it helps you let go of the energies of that year.


Ingredients:


You’ll need a few of the following (pick and choose what resonates most for you, as part of the power in a cleansing ritual bath is to listen to your intuition):

Epsom salt, 1 cup – To cleanse and detoxify the aura, calm the muscles with its magnesium content that is transferred into the body through the water (magnesium is also calming for the mind and body), and helps you release bad juju!

Baking soda, 1 cup – Increases the detoxification affects on the body and spirit

Essential oils, 5 to 6 drops per oil

Herbs-

Use the full sprigs of the herbs when in the ritual bath. The following are some of my favorites:

Basil (Ocimum Basilicum): it is yang in energy, as it is a masculine herb, has Fire Element energy, and therefore can be used in love magic, abundance, and protection


Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis): it is a strong cleansing and purifying herb, and is very protective. It purifies the air, attracts faerie magic, and the energy of Rosemary helps move the Liver Qi in Chinese Medicine (hint: that’s a VERY GOOD thing!) It also resonates with the Throat Chakra and Solar Plexus Chakra.


Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris): this herb purifies altars, cleanses the home, and when used in a bath, is helpful towards protection. Interesting tidbit: mugwort is also the herb used in moxibustion (moxa for short) in Chinese Medicine. In its dried form, it is used on or near specific acupuncture points to warm the channels, and to add Qi to strategic parts of the body. It does wonders for immuno-compromised, deficient diseases, where there is very little Yang energy in the body.


Flower petals – Flowers are not only pretty to look at, but they can also serve as healing plant medicine. For bringing in love in a cleansing ritual bath, use the petals of yellow roses (roses resonate with the Heart Chakra.) For something more cleansing, or to heal energy, use the petals from three white carnations.Your intention towards releasing what no longer serves you (this ingredient is not optional)


How to create a cleansing ritual bath for renewal


Draw your bath.



Light some candles, so you may call forth your angels, guides, and other members of your Team of Light. When you are ready to release any negative energy or patterns during your time in the bath, direct the energy into the flame to burn it up.


If you chose epsom salt, baking soda, and/or essential oils as bath ingredients, mix them together first before dumping, and dissolving, the mixture in the tub.


Set your intention of what you want to release and welcome into your cleansing ritual bath, and ask for support towards that outcome.


Optional: charge the water with the healing sound of your voice (even if you can’t carry a tune). Our voices are powerful, the vibration from our Throat Chakras are healing. And, whenever we sound and tone from this chakra with intention, it sets the tone of your ceremony, and helps you vibrate more highly. Try starting with a, e, i, o, u sounds, chanting mantras, songs that make you happy, or tones that help you feel connected with yourself, Mother Gaia, and/or Spirit.


Finish drawing the bath, and dip your body into it.


Allow all levels of your physical and energy bodies to drink in the healing goodness for 20-30 minutes! If it feels right, and you are using sprigs of herbs, lightly stroke your skin with the herbs, going from top to bottom of head, face, arms, legs, etc.


Let your bath drain. Make sure you’re using a strainer to catch any herbs or flowers


**Do not rinse off! You want to keep the medicine on you for at least 24 hours. Pat down the body, but do not wipe off. Note: if your skin is sensitive, and needs a good rinse after using epsom salt, use less than the recommended amount in the bath.
