How to Take a Moon Bath
-
Set your intention. Clarify what you want to attract—it could be love, money, or health, for example. Say an affirmation —a hopeful statement—to understand the type of moon bath to draw. Write your desire down in a journal, say it out loud in the mirror, or just concentrate on it. Here are some examples to inspire you: [4] X Research source
- “I invite in serenity and stability.”
- “I call in wealth and abundance.”
- “I attract love and devotion.”
- “I welcome friendship and support.”
- “I draw in creativity and inspiration.”
-
Choose a moon phase. Review the most recent lunar calendar and decide which phase resonates with you. Look for special celestial events, like the “Strawberry Moon,” a symbol of love. Moon baths are popular during full or new moons, but you can draw a moon bath during a first quarter or third quarter moon. [5] X Research source
-
Cleanse your space. Make everything tidy so your space feels like a temple—that way, it honors the Moon and is ready to accept its lunar magic. Then, give your bath a thorough scrubbing so you soak in water that’s pure and cleansing. Light a smudge stick to banish negative energy and create a serene environment. [6] X Research source
-
Prepare your bath salt. Honor your intention by making a “bath tonic” with natural ingredients. Start with Himalayan sea salt, Epsom salt, or tea bags. Choose an essential oil that’s compatible with your intention—for example, lilac oil invites tranquility into your life. Add some drops to boost the magical properties of your moon bath. Throw in herbs as a finishing touch. [9] X Research source
- Create a bath tonic based on your zodiac sign—for example, add frankincense oil to capture the earthiness of Taurus. [10] X Research source
- Design your own special bath tea—for instance, put aura-cleansing blue lotus and vitality-boosting ginseng into tea sachets. [11] X Research source
- Sprinkle in herbs for a little extra magic—you might add basil to promote harmony and oregano to enhance your focus. [12] X Research source
-
Blend moon water with your bath tonic. Make moon water for your moon bath by placing a bowl of room temperature water under the moonlight. Either set it down by a window that faces the Moon or place it outside. Charge moon water for a full night. Finally, blend your moon water and bath tonic together in a mixing bowl. [13] X Research source
- Place your hand over the bowl, state your intention, and charge it with moonlight during any lunar phase of your choice.
- When you're preparing moon water and would like to drink moon water for extra lunar magic, leave out another bowl.
- Bring in moon water before the Sun rises so it's only charged by the Moon.
-
Meditate while bathing. First, turn on music or a guided meditation that will enhance your self-hypnosis . Lower yourself in the bath and relax. Close your eyes and perform grounding exercises, like deep breathing. Repeat your intention and chosen affirmation in your head. [14] X Research source
- Bathe in silence if the lack of distractions aids your concentration.
- Imagine that you're absorbing magical energy, like the power of love.
- Focus on cleansing yourself of any negative forces, like self-doubt.
