I AM NATURE RITUAL BATH

When we talk about getting grounded, what we are really talking about is returning to the source, returning to the truth of where we come from, returning to the earth. This bath is designed to help us remember the truth of who we are. Follow this bath with a walk outside. If there are certain ingredients that you do not have on-hand, don’t worry. Your intention is the most powerful part of this ritual. 

INGREDIENTS

Red clay, mixed with bentonite clay and graviola powder, nettle leaf powder, or matcha
1 cup black lava salt
1 cup pink rose petals
1 bunch of fresh rosemary
10 drops each of rose and rosemary essential oils
All of your non-water-soluble crystals

RITUAL

Mix clay and plant powders with spring water to create a thick paste.
Cover your body head to toe with the mixture.
If you have the luxury, go outside naked, covered in the mixture. Stand in the sun. When the paste begins to dry, rub it off your body. It will create a fine, very exfoliating dust. Notice how grounding and awakening this practice is.
If you cannot go outside naked and covered in green mud because your neighbors will be convinced that the zombie apocalypse is here, then prepare your bath while you’re letting the mixture dry.
Place all the other ingredients in the bath at a temperature of your choosing.
Light a candle.
Create a smudge using white sage by putting it in a nonflammable tray of some kind and igniting it. Waft the smoke around your body using a feather you have found. Step into the bath and dunk your head underwater.
Place the crystals on your body wherever your intuition is guided to place them. Sing this song (original author unknown):
Earth my body. Water my blood. Wind my breath. And fire my spirit.
Take ten deep, grounding breaths.
Sit and soak in the medicine you’ve created.
