ritual 07: a milk and honey bath recipe

my very first teacher, mentor and Feng Shui friend was Ellen Whitehurst. some of you may remember her – she is absolutely with me every single day in the shui I share and the spirit of my practice.

I recently came across this bath recipe in a Simple Shui blog post (from 2009) as I was searching my site for something else entirely, and it was EXACTLY what I needed to refresh, rejuvenate and refocus myself as I am in ‘heavy lifting’ mode.

so.

if you partake, I know I won’t be the only one smiling. Ellen will be, too!

for this soak, you’ll need the following ingredients:

1/2 cup golden honey

1/2 cup whole milk

2 cups of Epsom salt

3 crushed mint leaves

3 fresh parsley bunches

mix the honey and milk first. add in the crushed mint leaves and parsley. let your bathwater run, adding the Epsom salt and letting it dissolve. right before you step into the bath, add the honey and milk mixture. soak in it at least 20 minutes.

in many traditions and cultures, milk is believed to enhance your ability to give and receive love by softening your perspective. the honey adds more sweetness to your life while the salt detoxifies. and as for the mint and parsley? well, as you may know from previous newsletters, they are known to call ‘money, honey’ into your life. xo
