THE RITUAL OF A SUNDAY BATH - Connecting to the body

THE RITUAL OF A SUNDAY BATH - Connecting to the body

In today's fast-paced world, finding moments of tranquility and inner peace has become essential for maintaining our overall well-being. Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, one simple yet profound act stands out as a beacon of tranquility: running a bath with intentionality. 

We believe in a life lived with intentionality. So in the comfortable scenery of your own home, with soft candlelight flickering, gentle aromas of palo santo, oils and the sound of water cascading into the tub, bring with you a sense of purpose: a conscious intention to connect deeply with your body and your senses. 

Rooted in cultures across the globe, the ritual of bathing goes beyond mere hygiene—it's a deeply symbolic act that promotes physical rejuvenation, mental clarity, and spiritual connection. 

Let's explore how this time-honored tradition can be transformed into your modern everyday ritual of connecting to your body and honoring it.  


What do you need:

  1. Set the stage, create a sacred space.

Begin your ritual by lighting a stick of Palo Santo. Slowly move it through the air around you and your bathroom, allowing the smoke to purify the space and clear away negative energies. Focus on your breathing, deeply inhaling the sacred wood's aroma and releasing tension with each exhale.

Enhance the ambiance by lighting some specially chosen candles. We recommend the Candles Set Beige for a soft, neutral glow, or the Pure Intentions Scented Candle for a fragrant, soothing atmosphere. As you light each candle, just immerse yourself in the intention of pure relaxation. Sometimes we tell ourselves that we do things to disconnect from the everyday chaos. But the truth is that the pure intention is to just connect to our bodies, our soul, our senses. 

To deepen your tranquility, light a Sacred Space Sandalwood incense stick. The grounding fragrance of sandalwood supports the unity of mind, body, and spirit, relieving anxiety and creating a sense of safety. With a delicate aroma and a burn time of 25 minutes, it’s perfect for promoting high vibration, protection, and inner peace.

  1. Soak in a warm bath infused with salts

Prepare your bath by adding Serene Waters Bath Salts

For a bath, add 3 to 4 handfuls of salt to a warm bath (approximately 100g – 150g). For concentrated use (for severely aching muscles), you can double the amount. These salts create a relaxing bathing ritual moment, thanks to their soothing, balancing, and calming virtues derived from all-natural ingredients. Immerse yourself in the tender and serene waters of your own home spa, scented with calming natural essences of Neroli, Lavender, Magnolia, Jasmine, Geranium, and Rosa Damascena. Enjoy the way these precious plants and minerals embrace you with care and healing powers. 

Stay in the bath for 20-30 minutes, focusing on the pleasant sensations in your body and breathing slowly and deeply.

​​Filled with a healthy mix of Himalayan Pink Salts, Epson Salts, Coconut Oil and precious Coconut dried water powder, Serene Waters Bath Salts leaves your skin smooth and hydrated and your mood balanced, harmonized and uplifted. 

  1. Clean the body, clear the mind

As you step into the warm embrace of the water, imagine a circle of light running through your body. Do you remember how you were paying attention to your body when you were a child? Feel your toes, your knees, and run your fingers through your hair. 

Wash your body gently. Most of the time we shower quickly and we get back to our everyday lives. 

Take this moment to gently touch every part of your body. 

You can use the Body Temple body wash, feeling it caress your skin and leaving a delicate, enchanting fragrance. Each drop is infused with the subtle power of crystals, charged with healing energy, turning your shower into a sanctuary of well-being.

Be present to any tense muscle in your body and just let it be while you allow the water to envelop you. 

As you cleanse your physical being, visualize releasing negative energy and emotions, leaving you feeling lighter and renewed.

As you rinse off, feel the gentle energy enveloping you. This isn’t just a body wash; it’s a moment of self-care, a return to the mindful attention of connection to your body. Step out of the shower feeling refreshed, renewed, and wrapped in a veil of natural goodness.

  1. Anoint Your Body with Oil to Honor Your Beauty

After your bath, don’t use a towel just yet. On the wet skin, apply our Pure Love Ritual Body Oil and massage the skin gently. This oil, created with fast-absorbing nourishing oils and precious plants and essences, is infused with citrine, aventurine, and quartz crystals charged with healing prayers and songs.

Crystals like citrine, aventurine and quartz have energetic properties that cleanse and balance the body’s subtle energy systems. When infused into a body wash, these crystals help remove energetic blockages, promoting a sense of balance and harmony in the body. 

Magnolia, Sandalwood, and Frankincense add to its luxurious and therapeutic qualities. Warm a small amount of oil in your palms and begin to massage your body, starting from your feet and moving upwards towards your heart. Use slow, gentle strokes, paying special attention to areas that need extra care such as elbows and knees. As you anoint yourself with oil, repeat a self-love affirmation, such as: “I honor my body and my inner and outer beauty.

  1. Closing the Ritual

After you have finished anointing, dress in comfortable clothes and take a moment to savor the peace and tranquility you have created. You can close the ritual just with tea and a moment of gratitude to your body. 

This bath body wellbeing ritual is a wonderful way to reconnect with yourself and honor your body and spirit. Each step is designed to help you relax, purify, and cultivate self-love and appreciation for your unique beauty.
