Arrange the ingredients for the bath bombs in front of you. If you wish, light some candles and incense to get you “in the mood” if you like.
Ground and center - attune yourself to the energy of Venus. Picture the planet connecting to you through a stream of pale pink light, Feel a warm, rosy glow filling you with love and peace.
State your intentions for the working out loud to focus yourself:
Venus,
Planet of grace, love and happiness,
Today I create a bath bomb to fill me with self-worth.
May the energies align and bring forth the love from within.
Make the bath bombs:
1. Put the baking soda, citric acid, cornflour and Epsom salts in a bowl, then whisk to evenly distribute the ingredients.
2. Pour the coconut oil, 14 drops of rose and 7 drops of bergamot essential oils, and a couple drops of food coloring in a small bowl. Mix together well, combining the oil with the coloring. While adding the essential oils, ask for the energies of Venus to activate and bring love and confidence to you. Really breathe in the scents as you add them, feeling the scents activate your senses.
3. Slowly add the oil mixture into the dry ingredients a little at a time, whisking between each addition. When all the oil is added, add a few tiny drops of water and whisk again (it will fizz when you add the water, so mix it in quickly). Ideally the mixture should slightly clump together when pressed in your hand and keep its shape – it shouldn't be too wet.
As you stir, feel the energy flowing down from Venus, through your body, through your hand, through the wise and into the mixture. Visualize it being charged with a pink glow.
4. Hold a few rose petals in your hands up to the sky. Announce your intention of needing to create a bath bomb for self-love and ask the plant spirit of Rose to assist. Add the flower petals into the bottom of your chosen mould.
Hold your quartz in your hands and connect to the energy - then place one each into the moulds on top of the flower petals.
Pack your mixture tightly on top, pressing down and smoothing out the top with a teaspoon, keeping in mind your intention at all times. Feel the energy of Venus flowing through you and into the bombs.
5. Leave your bath bomb in the mould to dry for 2-4 hrs, then carefully remove it.
The Bath:
When you have plenty of time, draw yourself a bath. Light a multiple of 7 candles and place around your bathing area. Perhaps light some incense as well if you with. Turn on relaxing music.
When you are ready, stand before the bath with one bomb in your hands - Take 7 deep, slow breaths and connect to the energy of Venus.
I am beautiful
I am free
I am creative
I am me
I take this bath
To restore myself
May it fill me with peace
And show me my true, wonderful self.
Add the bomb to the bath with intention and step in. Lay in the water and relax as long as you like. Feel yourself relaxing and filling with love and peace.
When you are done, drain the bath, drink a large glass of water and go to sleep! (And eat the chocolate from the altar...)
