Body Blessing Ritual

 

Take a salt bath to purify your body. 
As you soak, visualize all of the negativity attached to you falling into the water. 
While sitting in the tub, allow the water to drain and visualize the negativity being neutralized
with the salt and returning to Mother Earth.
  Next, dry your skin by patting it gently with your favorite towel.
  Stand in front of a mirror (and a lovely candle if you have one handy),
and look at your body. 
Don’t be critical…be very accepting of your body,
and touch each part of yourself with love and reverence as you read the following aloud:

 

“Body Blessing”

Goddess, bless my mind,
That I may think on you.

Bless my eyes,
That I may see the beauty around me.

Bless my throat,
That I may speak my truth.

Bless my heart,
That love may flow unconditionally.

Bless my hands,
That I may give in your name.

Bless my stomach,
That I may feel content.

Bless my genitals,
That I may know I am a sensual being.

Bless my feet,
That I may walk in your path.

 

Finally, massage your favorite oil or lotion into your skin,
and each area you cover, send it love and acceptance.
