by Simmi Reitberger

Hello gorgeous soul,
I wrote this for you to share in one of my most essential tool – resource – ritual that I personally experience twice weekly.
The rejuvenating bathing experience . My non-negotiable self care ritual.
This simple act of self love 💕 does so much more for me than anything else . It can be transformative , cleansing, nourishing, healing , relaxing … anything you want – you can create .
So I want to share my complete steps to a rejuvenating bathing experience that is easy once you’re set up .
So please feel free to to print this out for yourself until you feel confident to do it on your own adding your own variety of botanical ingredients eg.flowers to adorn your bathing water .

Having a bathing ritual in my life has provided me a tool to de-stress and reduce overwhelm for when things go a little crazy.

A bath is where I turn to if feeling emotional, body feeling out of whack or need some space to just ‘be’.

The bath is my sanctuary, a place where I can download my day and upload ideas, plans and beautiful thoughts to rejuvenate my soul, uplift my mind and nourish my body.

It is the place I get closer to my essence and let go and process my day.

It is here I feel like a ‘goddess’, a ‘queen’, a captain of my ship.

I create a bath that suits my mood using the following tools/toys.

Essential Oils
Castile Soap
Cold Pressed Plant Oil
Magnesium Flakes
Bottle of water
Candles

My bathing ritual usually goes something like this.

Step 1

I add 2 cups of Magnesium flakes to the running water

Optional extra add *Bath salts

Step 2

As the water is running I – prep the room-

Water , close doors , play background music,

Step 3

Then I light my candles saying an affirmation or adding an intention- eg.
