"Loving Yourself Bath Celebration"

As a wonderful way to nurture and celebrate your love for yourself, we suggest that you treat yourself to a special bath. Make sure that you have enough time to relax fully and enjoy it, and that you will be undisturbed. Set up whatever supplies that you need ahead of time, such as candles, music, essential oils, flower essences, bath salts, soft towels and comfortable clothes to put on afterwards. You might want to include a drink in a plastic container and some special food such as grapes or cherries.

Run your bath to a comfortable temperature, light the candles and put whatever additives into the bath that you have decided upon. Dim the lights or turn them off. As you get ready to step into the bath, dedicate this bath to loving yourself unconditionally and releasing anything that is the way of you being able to do that. You might want to include the words:

"I, (say your name), dedicate this special bath to myself, so that I am able to love myself unconditionally and without reservation. I ask my guides, angels and loved ones to be present and help me, and surround me with blessings. I am willing to release whatever is in the way of me loving myself completely."

Once you are in the bath, tell yourself what you love about yourself. You can say the words out loud, or even better sing them out loud. Include every aspect of yourself - every part of your body, your emotions, your mind, your spirit, your soul, your energetic bodies, your personality, your habits and everything else that you can think of. Remember to include everything without judgment, so it is important to speak of those things that you don't normally associate with love. For example you might say or sing, "I love my willingness to learn, I love the texture of my skin, I love my wrinkles and I love my stubbornness." Continue until you feel complete.

Once you have finished, and are ready to pull the plug, send the water out of the tub with your blessings. You could say:

"I send forth this sacred water to bring love and light to all who come in contact with it. I ask that these blessings of love reach every inhabitant of this place that I live as it flows under the ground on its continued journey."

Enjoy!
