LIBRA FULL MOON RITUAL BATH

The plants know. 

Every year around me I notice a specific plant will show up way more than it has in the past.

When they do, I listen.  I look at the colors of the plant, the shapes. I tune into their energy. I ask, “what do you have to teach me?”

This year, it is a whole field of violets. Brilliant purples and whites with golden flecks and heart-shaped leaves. “We’re here to help you clear,” they say, “to cleanse the heart… to release all the grief and the pain… to make space for all that’s meant for you.”

Ever since I got back from my travels to Kenya, I’ve been experiencing a profound clearing. As I shed and move through the healing crises that come along with it, I know I am not only releasing what is no longer needed in my personal energy field, but also for that of the collective.

If you, too, are feeling this massive collective clearing of grief, of outdated stories and the old versions of ourselves, soak in the medicine of this Libra Full Moon Ritual Bath.

INGREDIENTS

A basketful of fresh violets

A big bunch of fresh dandelions

1 cup of water that has basked in the full moon’s light

1 gallon of any happy milk

1 cup of pink salt

RITUAL

• Place all the ingredients in the bath at a temperature of your choosing.

• Light a candle and as you do, send a blessing to any part of you that is ready to be released or any person that you’ve loved and lost.

• Create a smudge using rose petals 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.

• Take several deep, cleansing breaths.

• Invite cleansing tears to come.

• Soak in the medicine you have created.
