Often in our lives, we feel like we need a fresh start. When things are hard in our lives, whether it's the beginning of a new year, a new moon phase, spring equinox, or sometimes even just because we're in a hard place, sometimes it helps to take a step back, breathe deeply, and focus on making changes. You can perform this ritual whenever you need to, but the important part is to realize that you are doing more than just celebrating a new beginning. In addition, you will have to focus on the mundane things that result in those changes. As part of this ritual, in which you will say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, you will need:
::Ingredients::
-Himalayan pink salt
-sea salt 🌊
-baking soda
-honey 🍯
-peppermint leaves/tea bag 🍃
-lemon & cucumber 🥒 slices (leave two for your 👀)
-red & white rose petals 🌹
-grape fruit, lavender essential oil
-epsom salts
-sage bundle
-moonstone, rose quartz, kyanite crystals 💎
-candle (black if you have)
-incense (white sage if you have)
-matches or lighter
-journal and pen 📚
::Ritual::
-Go outside, or look out the window up to expansive sun, sky, clouds notice your physical environment and the changing seasons, take 3x exaggerated grateful inhales and exhales, frolic around with bare feet on Mother Earth
-Add ingredients to bath elixir with intention"I am creating space for new beginnings" then clear self and space w/ smoke from sage
-Immerse self fully, dunk head to toe
-Light candle, meditate on all of the issues holding you back, causing you problems etc. Write in journal, "Life is a twisting and turning path, ever changing and flowing. My journey has brought me this far, and I am ready to take the next step. I call upon the energies and powers of the Spring Equinox to guide me on my way. Today, I say farewell to all that has prevented me from becoming the person I wish to be.
-Add your blocks you meditated on below then burn the paper in the flame of the candle while saying, "I send you away, far from me, and far from my life. You no longer have any influence upon me.” Blow out the candle and light the incense.
-Indulge in the burning scent, place cucumbers over eyes and focus this time on things that will help you grow and change. Planning to go back to school? Moving to a new city? Getting healthier? Just need to feel like you’re worth it? Visualize yourself as the greatest version of yourself what we they look like, feel like, act like, where would they work, what would they eat etc. These are the things to meditate on as you marinate in the elixir you've created.
