Spiritual bathing is an old spiritual practice that combines elements of different properties, such as roots, herbs, minerals, in conjunction with particular times for a desired result. Spiritual baths can be used for protection, abundance, drawing, attraction, love drawing, sweetness, self power, opening roads and a plethora of things to align you on your spiritual path.
To boost or heighten your spiritual baths old hoodoo tradition says to take into consideration aligning with moon phases and days of the week (and time for more advance baths), so if you wanted to do a bath for abundance drawing and money, for maximum effects (we'll get into the phases on another post) you would attempt to align it on a Thursday Jupiter day, Thursday being a Harvest and expansion day, at sunrise as sunrise draws in, in conjunction with the waxing moon phase for maximum effects. You can also align your spell-work with certain moon-phases, hours and time for maximum effect. In addition to spiritual baths being used to draw in, they can also be used to remove and banish out all that doesn't serve you. In this particular post we'll be discussing how one can cleanse themselves to rid their mind, bodies and souls of negative energy.
BENEFITS OF CLEANSING THE SPIRITUAL BODY:
Spiritual cleansing has been long used across many spiritual religions from Obeah, Ifa, Vodou, Palo, Santeria, even Christian religions use baptisms as a form of sealing the spirit while being "cleansed by God". Spiritual cleansing is just as important to your aura, as your day to day shower, the spiritual body picks up the energy from our daily occurrences, which can have an effect on the mind body and soul. That negative debris clings to us, just as dirt does the psychical body does causing blockages and obstacles that surround us like a black cloud.
***SPIRITUAL CLEANSING IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL THERAPY OR MEDICAL HELP IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO PLEASE REACH OUT TO SOMEONE***
INGREDIENTS:
LEMON/LIME: assist in purifying energy, cleansing and refreshing the auric field, and driving all evil influences away. (combination of salt + lemon will drive any negativity surrounding your mind body and soul)
MINT: healing herb, helps boost communication and clearing the throat chakra, promotes positive energy, (can also be used as an offering to spirits and left on altar to draw in support fro positive spirits). Mint aids in mental strength, breaking jinxes and banishing those black clouds that tend to hinder over the mind body and spirit.
ROSEMARY: for healing/purification. Rosemary aids in clearing and uplifting the mind, while purifying/protecting the auric field from all dense energies.
DRY ROSE PETALS: for drawing in self love and reaffirming loving, uplifting thoughts around the mind, body and soul. Roses are the highest vibration plant, they're a symbol of love and peace. Incorporating this in a bath will not only cleanse the body but it'll uplift the spirit and fill your spiritual body with the frequency of love.
BAY LEAF: bay leafs are ruled by the sun and used for purification and protection. Probably one of the most spiritual used leafs, used for drawing in money, warding off evil, protection, etc.
BAKING SODA/ SEA SALT: the combination of salt and baking soda will rid all negativity blotting you. Both minerals(not herbs), the baking soda will work to neutralize your aura, uplifting your spirit leaving you filled with a sense of peace and calmness. Sea Salt will work to detoxify all negative juju accumulating around you.
Preferred day for this bath would be Sunday, as you're resetting from the week, for the week so as we move into Monday's Moon energy it can be used to manifest for the week. As always stated by me do not wait for a moon phase, day or time to get anything done, if you need to cleanse do it, if you need to protect yourself do it, if you need money for that light bill get to jujuing.
Once you've gotten your ingredients together, pray Psalm 23 over it, pray and bless it asking that it rejuvenate and uplift your spirit, call on guides, guardians, ancestors whatever you resonate with to fill your spirit with a white light and remove all impurities. Squeeze the juice of the lemons into bath water, and throw the rest of ingredients as well as squeezed lemon inside bath, light a white candle and place by side of bath calling in your spirits once again. Once inside sit in tub for at least 10 minutes no more than 30, fully submerging the body three times, three representing the mind body and spirit, while doing this you're envisioning a white light surrounding you, asking that anything that doesn't align with your spirit be cast off, let all jinxes, self imposed and rinsed away, Communicate with your higher self asking to fill you with white light, Pray with Psalm 23 + Psalm 51.
***DO NOT TOWEL DRY, ALLOW YOURSELF TO AIR DRY, WEAR ALL WHITE AND COVER THE HEAD AS YOUR ORI(CROWN/ HIGHER SELF) IS NOW OPEN. TAKE A LITTLE OF THE BATH WATER IN A PLASTIC BOTTLE AND TAKE IT TO A TREE ASKING THAT THE NEGATIVE DEBRIS BE TRANSMUTED INTO LIGHT***
PEACE AND BLESSINGS TO CLEANSED SPIRITS :)
