Who doesn’t want balance in their life? No matter our life choices or preferences, we all want some stability and balance in our life. After all, our choices are a means to that balance too. We all know how a hot shower can relax and help us feel rejuvenated. We have also heard about the calming influence of crystals, the importance of essential oils, and the importance of balancing the chakras.

A ritual bath to help align the chakra is a significant part of the chakra balancing process. Soaking in water infused with crystals, essential oils, and herbs makes for a luxurious experience and can also be calming. Such ritual baths also provide you with some much-needed me-time, thus making the entire experience even more wholesome and giving.

Creating a Ritual Bath for Chakra Balancing

While it is always appreciated and preferred that your healer prepares the bath for you, the same can be done at home with a little guidance. We are sharing a framework for a customized chakra bath. You can fill in the specifics per your requirement for the relevant chakra.

Please note that you must carefully choose the crystals, the tea, and even the essential oils for chakra. A mix and match or a random combination may not have the intended impact. Hence, to begin with, we suggest that you should focus on one specific chakra balancing at a time.

• To begin with, add the suggested crystals to the bathtub before running the bathwater for your chakra balancing ritual. Also, make sure that your crystals are adequately cleansed prior. Finally, if your crystals are small, we suggest you place them in a cloth or mesh bag so you do not have to worry about losing them.
• Once the crystals have been placed adequately for your ritual bath, run the bathwater. Next, add a cup of Epsom or Himalayan salt. These salts are known for their relaxing and cleansing properties.
• The ambiance also plays a big  role in making your chakra balancing ritual bath a success. You can either use colored light bulbs (corresponding to the chakra you are targeting) or light some candles and play soft, soothing music. 
• Once the bathtub is filled to the brim, add 8 to 10 drops of the specific essential oils for chakra balancing. Then, swish the water to mix the oils adequately. At Kanya Life, in addition to the usual essential oils for chakra balancing bath ritual baths, we also have a dedicated travel spa kit so that you may indulge in this calming experience even while traveling. Just for clarification, the Kaya Travel Kit consists of body oils that can be used post-shower as a body lotion.
• In case you want to add herbs to your ritual bath experience, make a strong herb tea instead and add that concoction to your ritual bath water. If you want to sip this herbal tea- that is fine too.
• Now get into your chakra balancing ritual bath and relax. Think of the happy moments in your life or take a quick nap but relax- that is what the entire experience is about. 
• If you want to take your chakra balancing experience to another level, you can try wearing clothes the same color as the chakra you are trying to balance post the bath and throughout the day. You can even eat the food of the same color too.
