Immerse yourself in therapeutic bliss with a Chocolate Bathing Ritual for Peace & Deep Serenity!
Close your eyes and inhale. Ground and center yourself. Release any worries in your mind by collecting them in your hands and discarding them to your sides.
Smudge your bathroom with your Palo Santo wood, wafting the smoke into every corner.
Draw a warm bath, filling it half way and adding in one cup of our Forest Slumber Bath Soak, or make your own. Set the mood by lighting candles and placing your cherished crystals or talismans around the bath. Soak for 25 minutes and then rinse with warm water. While you are still wet, run a block of cocoa butter over your skin and airdry as you allow the moisture and healing benefits to envelop you.
Next, infuse your state of peace with an intention and choose your chocolate. Are you on the path to dreamland or a feeling more serene? Come to a comfortable seat, visualize and say to yourself, “to the divine energy of peace, guidance and abundance, I thank you for the blessings as I move forward in this light.”
Place the chocolate in your dominant hand and breathe seven times, deeply. Say out loud, “I am at peace, I am in peace, I am peace.” Close your eyes and visualize this. As you rest in your place of peace, eat your chocolate, noticing all the sensory cues: how it sounds, feels, smells, looks and tastes. Know in your heart and soul that peace guides you.
