Powerful galactic beings, welcome back to another video.
If there's anything better than a nice hot bath, it's a bath that's been upgraded with
intention and a ritualistic approach.
Here's what spiritual baths are all about, and even how to draw one for yourself, according
to experts.
The key to drawing a spiritual bath is to couple bathing with intention.
a ritual bath is submerging the body even just the feet, hands, or head into water and
your intention.
Humans have had a spiritual connection to water for generations, "and creating ritual
around that connection is one of the many universal practices that most of us carry
within our lineages dating back to ancient times."
Whether it's visiting a spring for healing, submerging yourself in water as a dedication
to faith, or drawing a bath with salts and stones, these would all qualify as spiritual
baths.
Again, many of us feel a subconscious attraction to water.
We need it to survive.
yes, but it's also energetically healing—something many cultures have understood for centuries.
From Ancient history to modern-day baptisms, and more, bathing has had a long-standing
place throughout human history.
And the nice thing about spiritual baths is that you can make them your own.
Infusing your bath with intention, and whatever spiritual tools you like to work with, is
not a closed practice but rather something accessible and soul-nourishing that anyone
can do.
Regularly cleansing your aura and your personal energy is an essential act.
Whether or not you know it, you come into contact with various people and environments,
all of which have their own energy vibrations.
Not all of these frequencies are high and positive.
Thus, your energy field is constantly taking in and putting out vibrations, some of the
vibrations (including your own thoughts, as well as external influences) are low and will
bring you down if left unchecked.
While our energy body is constantly readjusting itself to bring our energy back into harmony,
the negative energies can linger and build up over time.
A monthly salt water bath is an easy and very relaxing way to cleanse your aura of negative
energy.
We’ve mentioned other methods before, so why a bath?
It’s because it’s a great ritual that combines to tie in body and spirit.
When you immerse yourself in a ritual bath, you are participating in an initiation to
open yourself up spiritually.
Ritual bathing cleanses you from physical grime and negative spiritual grime, thus purifying
both your body and your aura.
It is a signal that you are willing to listen to your Higher Self and begin to trust something
outside of your rational mind.
It indicates that you are open to ask the universe to transform what you believe needs
to be changed within yourself.
The purpose of a spiritual cleansing bath is to cleanse your energy and spiritual body.
Think of a spiritual bath as a bath that renews not only your body but also your soul.
"We all resonate with the fact that you feel one way before you take a bath, and another
way when you get out of the bath.
This idea or sense of feeling cleansed goes even farther beyond the physical body and
into the mind and spirit as well."
The purpose, if anything is determined by you and your intention.
But in general, you could say the purpose is to give yourself the time and space to
be present with yourself and your body so you can work through the internal and energetic
healing that comes up in that space.
And therein lies the benefit.
"Cleansing is healing, grounding, and inspiring; all of life intuitively knows this; maybe
this is one of the reasons why all of life needs water.
There are some daily rituals or habits you can adopt to when doing spiritual bath.
There are a lot of different methods to ritual baths, depending on what you're looking for.
Here are a few ways to infuse your bath (or shower or foot soak) with intention.

the ritual whether using chimes or a singing bowl before or after your bath to clear the
space.

the experience.

to distinguish regular bathing from ritual bathing.

bath.

your liking.

herbs, and fruit to either discard them in the trash or to offer them back to the earth
by placing the elements at the base of a tree.
