happy full moon, loves ♡ the full moon is a time to release what no longer serves you. this could be some part of your life, a relationship, an attitude or belief, a habit, or some aspect of yourself that you have outgrown. at the full moon, energy is powerful. we can harness this energy by performing a full moon bath ritual to cleanse, let go, recharge, and welcome positive change and new opportunities into our lives.
in this ritual bath, mineral rich himalayan salts eliminate toxins, balance the body’s pH, reduce inflammation, and stimulate circulation and cellular regeneration. himalayan salt also promotes spiritual and mental balance, relieves stress, and restores your sense of wellbeing. during a full moon, healing potential is at its peak, meaning mineral absorption is optimized. coconut milk gently exfoliates, nourishes, and hydrates your skin and makes your bath silky and soft. uplifting rose, lavender, and soothing essential oils promote peace, protection, purification, clarity, healing, and love.
ingredients:
♡ 4 cups coconut milk ♡ 1 cup himalayan salt ♡ 1-2 cups dry or fresh rose petals and lavender buds ♡ 10 drops lavender essential oil ♡ 10 drops rose essential oil
directions:
first, clear your energy and cleanse your space. you may choose to light incense, perhaps white sage or palo santo to purify. light your favourite candles, or candles that correspond to your full moon intentions (for example, white candles represent peace, truth and purity; pink candles represent positive self love, friendship, harmony and joy; light purple candles represent intuition, peace, and healing). corresponding crystals can also be included to amplify the power of your bath.
draw a hot bath, adding salts and allowing them to dissolve while the water is running. add the coconut milk, essential oils, rose petals and lavender buds (if you prefer, you can put them in a muslin sachet to steep in the water instead). soak for at least 30 minutes, sipping on water or herbal tea to stay hydrated. use this time to meditate on what it is you’re ready to release from your life. what is holding you back, preventing you from moving forward, and what are you ready to let go of? you can imagine this release manifesting physically, all the negativity leaving your body and being absorbed by the salts. meditate on what you can achieve and what can come forth now that you have released what was once blocking your journey. as you let go of one thing, something new has room to come into your life. make sure you use the light of the full moon to manifest the new as well ♡
