Health & Vitality Ritual

Needed (or Desired Items)

• Orange or white candle and matches.
• Jasmine or rose petals.
• 2-5 drops of Essential Oils of rose, geranium, pine or bergamot  mixed in 50 mls of carrier oil.
• Bowl of Moon charged water.
• A comforting robe that you can slip out of easily for the sky clad elements of the ritual.
• 1/2 cup Sea salt 

Blessing Bath

• Run a bath. 
• Add about a teaspoon of the oil, the flower petals and the sea salt to the bath.
• Light the candle, dim the lights and relax. 
• Cast and open a circle if you wish.
• Soak and relax for at least 20 minutes.
• Visualize how good each part of your body feels in that soft warmth.
• Get out of the tub and gently towel off.
• Using some of the remaining oil, massage your body starting at the feet and working up - as you massage your body, say something like my feet are healthy, my ankles are healthy, my calves are strong, my thighs are supple etc. Use your own words. The idea here is to infuse positive qualities to each and every part of your body. If you feel a hesitation somewhere, notice it, but still say something positive.
• Slip into your robe or dress comfortably and go somewhere right away to do your spell.

Ritual
After finishing in the bathroom, move into your working space or out doors - bringing your candle and oil. Make sure to face Mother Moon. Ask the Goddess to join you as She, who embodies health and vitality. Think back to the harvest of your life. Look to your strengths. Look for a time when you felt vital in a positive way. See this and FEEL this time clearly in your mind and body.  Feel your personal vitality. Feel it warm you, pulse through you. Notice how you feel and what thoughts enter your mind. If your thoughts or feelings are negative, note this, but decide you will put this aside until a later time. Breathe in deeply. As you breathe, know that you are inhaling even more power from the earth, the trees, the moon, and the sky. Feel the Goddess standing with you and sharing with you her attributes of focus, health, vitality. Accept these gifts in your own body, pick up the oil and then in a loud, firm voice, chant:

I allow my body to shine
Health & Vitality are mine
My body is a source of Beauty
Blessed Be the Goddess within Me!

Repeat the chant faster and faster, feeling your strength, health, vitality, and energy grow. Hold up your oil bottle and infuse the oil with all of the powerful energy of strength and vitality. Never fear, you will not run out of power…you will be channeling it now. At the height of your energy hold your oil bottle in your hands and SHOUT:

MY BODY WORKS FOR ME NOT AGAINST ME!
MY BODY WORKS FOR ME NOT AGAINST ME!
MY BODY WORKS FOR ME NOT AGAINST ME!

Gratitude
Know that the Goddess has heard your intention. Thank the Goddess and be grateful in the knowledge that all is as you have asked it to be, if it be Her will and for the greatest good of all.

Close your circle (if you opened one)

Take the energized oil with you. Extinguish and bury any leftover candles in the garden or yard.
Make sure to ground yourself by eating or drinking something, exercising, dancing!

You now have highly energized oil. Just take a drop and anoint your heart or even take a quick inhalation, every morning until it runs out. Carry it when you feel the need. Keep your oil close at hand or even on your desk ready for use.
