Ceremony of Self Love Bathing Ritual Soft lights, a gentle scent, and a moment of pure, tender self–care. This is your invitation to pause, breathe, and remind your heart that you are enough, exactly as you are. You’ll need a warm bath, sea salt or Epsom salt, essential oil’s, a candle, a crystal you adore, and a quiet space to simply be. The self–love blend In a small dish mix 6 drops of Still Spaces Rose Absolute and 6 drops of Still Spaces French Lavender Gently swirl the blend. This is your self–love oil, soft, relaxing, nurturing, heart opening and deeply soothing. Preparing the space Set the mood with a softly lit room and a candle that you love. Play a tender, slow playlist or a short nature sound. Cleanse the room of all old energy with a smudge stick or cleansing Still Spaces Clear Purity Spray to clear the air and invite a fresh, receptive atmosphere. Place your crystal somewhere you can see it or hold it in your hand, the crystal you choose becomes a quiet companion: rose quartz for gentle self‑love, or amethyst for calm clarity. The bath begins Draw a warm bath and let the water be exactly how you like it, comfortably warm, not hot. Sprinkle in 1–2 cups of sea salt or Epsom salt, watching the water shimmer with mineral light as it dissolves. Drizzle your self‑love oil into the bath, or first rub a touch onto your wrists or heart before stepping in. If you’d rather, you can apply a small amount to your skin and then soak. As you ease into the water, settle into stillness. Rest a hand on your heart and the other on your belly. Let your breath find its own pace, then invite a simple pattern: a slow inhale for four counts, a longer exhale for six. Allow this rhythm to braid with the warmth around you, releasing a little more with each exhale. Affirmations in motion Softly, aloud or in your mind, offer a gentle promise to yourself. Choose one that feels true in this moment, or let the heart whisper its own words. A few to choose from: “I am worthy of love and care,” “I am enough, exactly as I am,” “I deserve rest, joy, and a kind heart.” Return to your chosen phrase whenever your thoughts wander like soap bubbles on the surface. The body and breath Let your body melt into the water, shoulders easing away from the ears, allow your jaw to drop and become soft, and breath slow. You might trace the water’s surface with your fingertips, sensing warmth bloom through your chest. If a thought arises, acknowledge it with peace and return your focus to breath and feeling held by the bath. A quiet pause and rise After a time, how long feels good to you, ease from the bath with care. Pat the skin dry with a soft warm towel, then wrap yourself in a cozy robe. Stand for a moment in stillness, perhaps with the crystal resting near you, and notice how your heartbeat matches the room’s gentle pulse. A soft afterglow Sip a warm cup of water or herbal tea. If you like, jot a single line in a journal: one thing you love about yourself today. Let the crystal rest near your bed for tonight’s gentle energy, or keep it within reach if you enjoy its quiet companionship. Closing whispers Carry this sensation of ease with you as you move through the evening. The ritual’s magic isn’t in the hour spent in the bath, but in the space you hold for yourself afterward, where kindness, patience, and self‑love remain a little longer in your heart.
