Autumnal Equinox Bath Ritual

  • Author: Quelcy Kogel

Description

Take the most relaxing bath with the renewing energy of autumn. 

Ingredients

Scale
  • Relaxing music
  • Cedar bundle or preferred sacred smoke
  • 2 cups Pink Himalayan Salt
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 5 to 10 drops frankincense essential oil
  • 5 to 10 drops bergamot essential oil
  • Quartz crystal and carnelian
  • 2 white taper candles
  • Your favorite fall flower
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 1 orange, sliced
  • 1 bunch rosemary

Instructions

  1. Prepare this bath on the equinox. Alternatively, you can create this experience as a foot bath. Fully clean your bathroom and then shower/tub. Light your sacred smoke and cleanse the space to clear energy and prepare the space for the bath. Draw your bath. Drop in the ingredients, and stir your bath with the intention for clearing and charging your physical body and auric field.
  2. Place the quartz in the water and say, “By water and earth, I am now clear of unwanted energies that keep me from my highest and best good.”
  3. Place the carnelian on the tub’s ledge and say, “Carnelian, may your passion, vigor and vitality warm me this season and keep me rooted in the stamina and motivation I need.”
  4. Light the candles and say, “May the fire and light of these candles illuminate the fire and light within me.”
  5. As you soak, feel a beautiful white, pearlescent light shower you with healing energy. Breathe in this light in four counts. As you exhale, breath out a black smoke in four counts. Continue this until you feel peaceful and clear.
  6. As you fully submerge, ask the water to cleanse you and take away any other low vibration, heavy, or negative energies. In this moment, spend some time visually experiencing you: on your best day, achieving a task, or simply enjoying your life.
  7. Once complete, give thanks, rejoice! Step out of the tub backwards to leave all energy behind and come out anew. Ask the water to take the unwanted energies back to the earth to be transmuted to light.
  8. Do not dry off: sit and record any feelings, thoughts or visions for your happiness. Extinguish your candles with a candle snuffer, but do not blow them out. They now hold your energy and intention. You may relight them again for peace and purity.
  9. You may offer the flowers, fruit, and rosemary to the river as a gift to the divine for your healing and clearing.
