A transformative practice for people with uteruses who bleed...this practice supports the release of patterns and energy which needs or wants to be released or no longer serves. This ritual is cleansing, detoxifying, purifying, releasing, refreshing and renewing (new moon).This makes space for a new something to enter, to fill the void left by what is released.
Supplies:
Water vessel: Bathtub, large plastic tub, small kids pool
4-8 lbs epsom salts
1-2 boxes baking soda
mars/pluto essential oil
optional: incense, red-lensed glasses, essential oil connected to what is to be released
Timing: any new moon, menstruation, mars hour, pluto hour, hours of darkness
Procedure:
*Create a simple "spell", series of words, sounds, visualizations which represent the purpose of the ritual, what are you releasing and what you would like to fill the void created by the release
*Fill water vessel with enough water to submerge close to knee deep.
* As water is filling add epsom salt, baking soda, and essential oil
* Mix water with your two hands in infinity symbol formation (overlapping figure 8s with both hands). As you mix the water visualize, chant, hum your releasing spell.
* Get into the water and soak for several minutes, breathing in and out, imagining your breath filling your body, entering and purifying all of your cells on the inhale, and condensing and wringing out your cells on the exhale. Imagine that is what is wrung out flows into the uterus. You might imagine the air flowing in and of the cells as red.
* When you feel ready, get into a squatting posture such that the water covers the vulva and vaginal opening. Visualize the flow of blood from your vagina into the water and within the blood, the energy of what you are releasing. Look at the blood flowing out of your body.
* Open the drain of the tub, or pour the water into a drain or toilet or earth. As the water flows down the drain, realize, imagine the releasing, detoxifying of your body from the that which you are letting go of.
