You are invited to experience the healing power of water. This
is a ritual; a soothing healing practice to refresh the body and
cleanse the soul. It is a ceremony. You will completely immerse
yourself in water - a bath, a shower, an ocean, a pool, - you choose.
We are made mostly of water and we immerse ourselves in it every
day. This time make it a special conscious ritual. Throughout history
many cultures have used the healing power of water in rituals. Sink
into the tradition through your body and soul. This ritual is about
letting go and cleansing not only physically but mentally and spiritually
as well. Prepare for it, light candles, burn incense, float flowers,
add essential oils or bubble bath. Smell the aroma and watch the
bubbles form and the colours floating. Strip the old day's clothes
away and release all disharmonious energy. Release it so you can
be released from it. Let go - physically and emotionally.
Feel the water splash over your hands and lap over your body. Sink
into the water. If you are in a bath tub, use a loofah sponge and
bath brushes that have been laid out ceremoniously beforehand. Completely
submerse yourself until you can hear your heartbeat and breath.
Release any moans and groans. The vibration of our own voice is
very healing. If you are carrying a great deal of stress, "sub-aqua
scream therapy" is a fantastic way to help release some of
it. Completely submerse yourself and scream your heart out under
water. This feels so good!

Breathe slowly and deeply. Breathe in peace and calmness, breathe
out tension and anxiety. Breathe life into your awareness and focus
on the ritual aspects of cleansing. Feel the life in each rejuvenating
breath. Consciously breathe and feel the buoyancy of your body moving
in the water.
Acknowledge that you are clearing your own sacred space. Clear away
anything that does not align with your soul's greatness. Release
any negative energy and beliefs of others and yourself. Your personal
space becomes more sovereign and peaceful.
When you feel tranquil and centered in your sacred space, set your
intention for the upcoming day. Once you have set your intention
and cleared away any energy not compatible with it, majestically
rise and rinse off. Buff yourself lovingly with fluffy towels, also
laid out in advance. Breathe life into your intention. Breathe in
and out loving, peaceful energy.
Set your intention, believe in it and let it go. You are renewed,
clean and clear in your own sacred space.
