Self Cleansing Bath

[iriseyes]

Okay.. I hear some giggles.. Thats not what Im talking about..

I would like to find a ritual or just a plain good meditating bath I could take to release some negative feelings I have..
I have read of the ritual baths before casting a circle or working magick but haven't really found one just for a cleansing or meditation bath.

Any suggestions???

Pick some candles, incense and oils that help relax you and have cleansing or purifying properties. Play some gentle music that you can meditate to. Relax, focus and center yourself. At the end of the bath, push all the negativity into the water, letting it drift away from you as you pull the drain. Running water has no charge but its own, and tends to carry energy away to be purified, thus your negativity will swirl away from you, to be cleansed by the earth.

A short version of this I use when I am losing my temper at work. I gather the negative emotions into a ball in my hands and wash them, letting the anger flow away.

Just a reminder to be careful about meditating in the bath. If you fall asleep or something you could drown. Which would suck.

Just a warm bath itself should go some way towards ridding you of negativity. It's definitely you-time, so spend an hour or so in there and you should be relaxed and content. Hot water will ease the aches and stresses in your muscles, lavendar oil or incense will help you relax. Burn some candles just to set the mood and read a book you really enjoy. (Mills and Boon seems to be traditional in these circumstances. Personally I'd read Watership Down or something by Roald Dahl.)

It's not a ritual, as such, but it's you-time and sometimes that's all you need.

sometimes, I'll take a nice warm bath after a hard day, then I will imagine all the negative energies going down the drain, that really helps too.

I take long hot baths my self..

This is what happend.. I know now it was very stupid of me to do so..

My boyfriend got really upset(mad) at his X. I mean really mad, actually I had never seen him the two years we have been together so mad..

Anyway.. I felt so bad for him and he was projecting this rage out.. So, I pulled from him. Within two minutes my chest area began to burn fiercely. I felt like I had swallowed flames.. I thought Oh Great Goddess I took to much, so I sent it back.. (hey Im a newbie learning lessons as I go lets call this lesson #1).
As soon as I sent it back , I felt better.. But he didn't I heard an UGG. I said Honey you okay and he simply said no in a week voice, I said whats the matter Is your chest burning.. I almost giggled for a min.. He was all slumped over grabbing at his chest..

Things got better and I told him what I had did, he didn't think that was a very good idea..

anyway, I want to have a way to release things like this..

you know, I would probably do some seriously illegial stuff for the chance to take a bath right now. I GOT a shower, but no tub. So, no baths.

LOL...thanks sage, but I think My hubby would have issues with driving from Pittsburgh, PA to Missouri is it? Just so I can take a bath.

I am still considering making him get us a hotel room some weekend at someplace that has two things: A juccuzi tub and an indoor pool.

My cancer side is going CRAZY without being immersed in water! Though, I think I might look into the pool at my old high school.

Strange how we crave contact with certain elements after a while.

Hey, this is how we learn. I try not to touch other people's emotions, but if you want to take disruptive energies like this it's best to stick them into something else right away. I recommend a pebble. Then throw it into running water and walk away without looking back.

In situations where there's no stream or river nearby, leaving the pebble on top of the plughole under running water would work just as well. (You could always just leave the energy in the pebble, but that could seep out and be disruptive, or affect anyone who touched it. It would also be rather unfair to the pebble.)

This one was a doozy.. After doing it I thought you darn idiot. I have read in some place you can project this type of thing in rocks and other things and if you do not have a stream nearby you can bury the things.

A friend of mine says she projects this into someone she doesn't like.. I thought it was funny but the more I think about it I feel this could be wrong to do so.. What are your thoughts..

I think that wrong and right are things you have to work out for yourself. Personally, I wouldn't do it. I've got no real belief in the threefold law or karma, so I don't think it would bite me in the arse if I hexed someone, but ethically I'd much rather avoid the person.

However, that doesn't mean that when a certain person I loathe gets fat and looks ten years older than she actually is I won't laugh. (Mwahaha. Ha.)
