Exotic Renewal Ceremony | Alternative, holistic medicine ...

Submitted by Mandala Massage Supply & Apothecary |

You know that feeling when your mind melts into your whole being; your breath takes over your body and your lips begin to lift into a smile as mental garbage is released outward never to return. Then, after becoming one with the universe, a grounding sensation appears as if your feet are taking root in Earth, and your head is reaching the sky? The following scent ceremony helps one reach this state of connection and wholeness. It can also be enjoyed by two, for a more sensual aspect. All oils can be replaced by your choice.

1. Gather towel, robe, oils, prepared products, writing material, water, soft music (optional), and quiet the house.

2. Begin running a bath. Light incense in an area you will not be directly in, or use an aroma diffuser and place it in the bathroom. An essential oil, such as narcissus or jonquil (used for prayer and meditation), can assist you in feeling protected and spiritually connected. Do the same for the bedroom, where you will later be dwelling.

3. After adding a few drops of essential oil to your bath (jasmine for love, white lotus for spirit), you are now ready to emerge into the bath and universe. Soak, be quiet, and breathe for at least 20 minutes. This is when you are breathing in the new and releasing the old. New energy will begin to fill you. You may feel an opening of self, and have the urge to write or share your new brightness with your partner.

4. Time to slough off another old layer by using a natural exfoliate. You will have prepared a salt or sugar scrub by mixing ?? cup dead sea salt (purifying and detoxifying), or raw sugar (polishes the skin, do not use if diabetic), to ? cup quality base oil, such as Jojoba or Almond, and 10 drops orange blossom oil (purifying). For a more gentle scrub, reminiscent of a fresh Spring morning: mix ? cup of base oil with 2 tablespoons jojoba beads (small spherical wax beads) and adding 1/4 teaspoon of shaved mimosa resin (skin renewal and new beginnings).

While sitting at the edge of the tub or standing, exfoliate the skin with long strokes then small circular movements, caressing yourself or your partner with love, breathing in the godly scents and having thoughts of freshness.

Sink back into the tub and enjoy this sensation of renewal. Rinse off, pat skin lightly to dry, then spritz with rose water or other natural body mister.

5. Proceed to your warm dwelling where you will begin massaging yourself or your partner with a muscle relaxing, spiritual cleansing or sensual massage oil or lotion. Massage yourself, or each other, in this deep state of relaxation and purification, with thoughts of giving and receiving.

With this scent ceremony, you have meditated, cleared and detoxified the body and mind, released, grounded and rejuvenated; and within yourself, or together with your partner, reached another level of understanding and growth.

Congratulations!
