New Moon Ceremonial Bath - Apologies for late posting

Dearest Beings of Light
Apologies for not getting this out sooner!!! I am about to take my own New Moon bath so really sharing my own ritual experience but one that can bring clarity to situations, especially over the New Moon, a time of inner work.
Tonight is the New Moon in Libra and the Moon of Love and Relationships - it is the Moon that brings the energy of Compassion and Love. After the fiery energy of Aries it will be a relief to find a more balanced approach to all our relationships.
Take this opportunity to have a Ritual Bath and really get in touch with your inner god/dess. It is the perfect time to be silent when we can go deep within and listen to what is really going on.
The first thing I do is scrub the bath clean.
Then I set it really hot - that differs for everyone because it it reminds me of the womb.
Use essential oils - I will use Lavender, Orange, Geranium and sometimes Patchuli (woo I am feeling excited already!!!)
I also put in dry rose petals that were given to me by Carlo.
Light three candles and put them at each end to make a triangle.
Step in the bath and gently lower your body into the water. Slowly submerge your body and consciously breath deeply for a few minutes. Bring your consciousness into your body.
Slowly let yourself sink a little deeper into your body and let the mind begin to wonder. Don’t concentrate on any of them or pay attention to them. Just let them flow and instead tune into the blood flowing around your body feeling any aches, pains and sensations.
Slowly the thoughts will fad into the background and we can feel our Heart’s connection - your inner voice that sees the bigger Soul picture and can guide you through this next moon cycle.
Just let everything you are feeling come to the surface, all the joy or pain, gains and losses, ups and downs, tears, laughter, giggles. Sometimes we just don’t know the question and getting in touch with our deepest feelings or emotion - just let them come - feelng it as deeply as you can.
Let what ever comes up, come up without resisting, let the tears flow or the laughter bubble up, it doesn’t matter, cos its all the same energy.
As we stay focused on the body we will start receving guidance on the unresolved issue we are facing and clarity will come.
When you feel complete and ready open your eyes.
Slowly become aware of your surroundings and when you feel ready sit up and wash your self off. Turn on the lights and go straight to bed….ready to dream your inspirations into reality!!
Enjoy!!!
Love Love
