The 8th of January is Bubble Bath Day. This seems to be a day celebrated in America to encourage children to spend time in the bath, and consumers to buy bubble bath products. Strawberry does not think that bath time is just for children! So I decided to use this day to remember the ways that you can use bath water to enhance your Reiki experience.
Wash off negative energy, cleanse your aura and bring more balance to your life by making a date with a Reiki Bath in your bathtub or a big basin, if you do not have one.
Adding a crystal such as rose quartz, amethyst or clear quartz, (NOT selenite as it will flake and dissolve in the water) to the bathwater, helps to amplify and hold the energy and intention of the reiki for a long period of time.
Start by:
1. Cleanse and program your crystal by doing some self-reiki, then drawing the symbols that you are attuned to on the crystal;
2. Meditate on your intention for the healing ensuring that it is for the highest good for everyone involved.
3. Fill your bath with warm water and add the crystal
4. Place your hands on top of the water and make the mental healing symbol and power symbol over it. Say your intention while drawing the symbols
5. Move your hands repeatedly through the bath water to disperse the energy.
6. You may like to add
a. magnesium salts to boost your magnesium level
b. rock salt to remove negativity, ground yourself and unblock your chakras
c. a few drops of essentials oils like lavender or cinnamon to boost healing properties and promote relaxation
d. candles and relaxing music
Not a bath person?
Create a Reiki shower by drawing the symbols that you are attuned to on the shower head and intend that the water removes all negativity. Use your time in the shower to visualize the symbols pouring onto you in water droplets to remove negativity, amplify your reiki and to heal you physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally.
You can add the following meditation if you have time.
As the water hits your body, visualise a vibrant red spinning light entering from your crown chakra and going through your body. When it gets to the Root Chakra the light spins in a clockwise motion clearing and balancing the Root Chakra. The red light then takes any excess or unwanted energy down the body and into the drain.
Visualise a beautiful orange light the colour of Monks robes. It fills your body down to your Sacral Chakra where it spins in a clockwise motion clearing and balancing the Sacral Chakra. The orange light takes any excess or unwanted energy down the body and into the drain.
Visualise a spinning bright, sunny yellow light, like a field of sunflowers. It fills your body down to your Solar Plexus Chakra where it spins in a clockwise motion clearing and balancing the Solar Plexus Chakra. The yellow light takes any excess or unwanted energy down the body and into the drain.
Visualise a spinning vibrant green light, like new spring fields. It fills your body down to your Heart Chakra where it spins in a clockwise motion clearing and balancing the Heart Chakra. The green light takes any excess or unwanted energy down the body and into the drain.
Visualise a spinning bright shining blue light, like a cloud free sky. It fills your body down to your Throat Chakra where it spins in a clockwise motion clearing and balancing the Throat Chakra. The blue light takes any excess or unwanted energy down the body and into the drain.
Visualise a spinning bright shining deep indigo, light like the colour of the sky between dusk and dark. It fills your body down to your Third Eye where it spins in a clockwise motion clearing and balancing the Third Eye Chakra. The indigo light takes any excess or unwanted energy down the body and then down the drain.
Visualise a spinning a bright shining white light like the colour of new snow. It enters your crown and fills your body spinning in a clockwise motion clearing and balancing the Crown Chakra. The white light takes any excess or unwanted energy down the body and into the drain.
Finish by expressing gratitude to Reiki and any helpers or entities you called on.
