5 Water Rituals To Cleanse Yourself
5 Mini Water Rituals to Cleanse Yourself Energetically
We use water to clean everything, even our bodies. What many people do not realize is that even when we are squeaky clean, water can cleanse us energetically.
It's
no accident that water has been used ceremoniously since the beginning
of time. Without water, there is no life. Water is worthy of our
attention and time, not only from an ecological perspective, but also
for our own healing.
We don’t have to be affiliated with a religion or spiritual group to
experience the purifying benefits of a personal baptism ritual.
Here are five simple yet powerful mini water rituals to cleanse and purify:
1. Care about the presentation of the water you drink.
Take
time to put fresh lemon, lime, orange, basil, mint or cucumber in your
water for a light flavoring. Use a glass container that reflects the
purity and simple beauty of the water, so that you feel appreciative and
uplifted with each sip.
2. Bless your water.
Some
people put positive word stickers on their water bottles. This is a
sweet gesture, but if you forget about the positive quality, it
diminishes the effect. Take a few moments to visualize, imagine or sense
the positive quality you wish to amplify in the water. Before you
drink, feel gratitude for the water that is about to cleanse, heal and nourish all the cells in your body.
3. Shower even when you’re not dirty.
Some
of us absorb the energy of others very easily. One way to cleanse the
days’ events is to have either a quick shower or salt-water bath before
bed. You will sleep much more deeply and won’t have to spend as much
dream-time energy, working through the conversations and events of the
day.
4. Use your water to help you visualize.
Imagine
or sense any stressful situations flowing down the drain as you wash
your hands. Bonus: when you drink lots of water, you have to urinate
often, so the opportunities for hand-washing abound!
5. Ocean Salutation.
This affirmation
and movement sequence is perfect to practice near your favorite body of
water. It's basically the movements of a half sun salutation. Lifting
your heart and reaching arms upward, affirm "I am Open to Receive!"
Exhale and fold forward into Uttanasana (standing
forward pose), affirming "I trust myself." Ground your hands on your
legs or the floor and lift your spine toward the horizon into Ardha Uttanasana (half bend) affirming "I follow my dreams."
Fold back into Uttanasana (standing forward pose), with the affirmation "I flow like water."
Now back to upstretched arms, again affirming "I am Open to Receive."

May the power of water carry your best intentions forward!
