This is a monthly feature of Water Blessings. Each month we will feature a particular bathing ritual. If you save these "recipes" in one folder or binder, you will have a wonderful resource of healing and transformative treatments at your fingertips when you need just a particular kind of experience.
COLOR HEALING BATH
This bath helps to open the energy in specific parts of your body by affecting the chakra centers through the resonance of color. You will need colored candles, towels or cloths, and items of color to decorate your bathroom for this ritual.
Hang colored scarves or drapes over the mirrors and windows in your bathroom. Drape the toilet and sink with the same color if possible. If not, use some neutral color to vanish the existence of these fixtures, since they represent the removal of energy, while the bath tub represents the holding of energy.
Create an altar visible from your tub.(on the toilet is a good place) Adorn it with flowers and items of the color you wish to work with. Use candles on the altar but save one colored candle to use specifically for the tub. Provide an empty vessel and leave it there until after your bath. Ask spirit to keep it pure until you fill it.
Fill your tub. Before you get in, light your colored candle and wave the smoke around over the water. As you do so, pray to the water to accept the healing messages you send through the smoke and water. Ask for purification. Holding the lighted candle, step into the tub and lower yourself into the water. Keep the candle burning after you have seated yourself.(be careful of hot wax drips on delicate bare skin) Ask for the highest good for yourself and others and then immerse the lighted candle into the water. Let it remain there for the length of your bath. Sit back, relax, and envision the color you have chosen surrounding your consciousness. When you are finished soaking, dry yourself with a towel of the color you selected, or use white to remain in the resonance of the color. Thank the water for holding the frequency, fill your smalll container with a small amount of your bath water. Use this and your colored candle that was in the water on your altar for a week.
