SELF-ESTEEM BATH RITUAL

Anyone can be hit with bouts of low self-esteem. It may be triggered by a criticism, an old, untrue belief about oneself, or programmed in through self-abuse and abuse inflicted by others. Some of us are internalizing the ills of America right now and feeling attacked by the patriarchy that works against our freedom and independence. Healthy self-esteem must be cultivated and nurtured on an ongoing basis. This bath should be done once monthly for 13 months during the crescent moon. It supports the release of unwanted thoughts, feelings, and energy, while inviting self-acceptance, self-love, and a shift in perspective from negative to positive.
