Made a purification & protection body scrub for my shower today :)
- 1 tbsp coffee grounds (for keeping yourself grounded)
- 1/2 tbsp sea salt (for purification)
- approx. 1/4 stick of cinnamon or 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (for protection; cinnamon also boosts the power of whatever its used with)
- 1/2 tbsp dried chamomile flowers (for purification & protection)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for protection; it’s also lovely and moisturising!)
- 1/4 tsp brown mica powder [optional] (brown for grounding, balance, protection and hard work. I added it hoping for a bit of leftover shimmer, but I actually used too little, about 1/8 tsp! The little scoop pictured came with a pack of mixed mica powder, and I didn’t want to get shimmer all over my kitchen measuring spoons!)
- Add all dry ingredients, except the mica powder, to a pestle & mortar.
- Grind until the chamomile flowers are simply fine flecks in the powder (you may need some elbow grease if you’re using whole cinnamon like me - I had to be content with larger flakes of the cinnamon!) Try to grind only in a clockwise motion if you can to attract luck and give power to your scrub.
- Transfer the powder to a plastic bowl (you don’t want it slipping and breaking in the shower).
- Add the olive oil and mix well with a spoon (again, mix clockwise!). Check the consistency - it should form a coarse paste with no excess oil pooling in the bottom of the bowl. Add some more sea salt a pinch at a time if your mixture is too oily, mixing in between each pinch until all the oil is just absorbed.
- Now carefully add your mica powder (if using). Stir gently - it will get everywhere!
- You can do this at any stage of your shower, but make sure your skin is wet all over. I did it whilst my conditioner was in, as I have to leave it to sit anyway. Turn off your water before you start so you don’t wash the scrub away too quickly, and so you don’t waste water!
- Scoop some scrub from the bowl and begin to massage in clockwise circles over your body. Visualise negative energy being scrubbed away as you gently massage it into your skin (you should have enough to cover your torso, arms and legs. AVOID YOUR FACE - the skin there is very delicate and this may be too irritating).
- Let the scrub sit on your skin for a minute or two, and continue visualising the negative energy being pulled from you.
- Rinse off the scrub (be careful - the oil could make your bath/shower slippery!), visualising the negative energy being washed away with it.
- You’ll be able to feel the olive oil still on your skin and see the way it repels water - visualise this as a protective layer that will prevent negativity from entering your body.
