4 Spiritual Baths to Try in the Midst of Burnout in the New Year
Why does it always take me getting sick to realize I’m burned out?
The end of the year rush comes on stronger each year. As the last quarter of the year elapses, we may realize that we have less time to smash the goals that we set for the year. We may begin to slip on our self-care and those activities that profoundly recharge us. This makes us susceptible to burnout and fatigue and a checked-out, “going through the motions” type of mood.
Ways Burn-Out Affects Self-Concept and Relationships
Hyperfocus on self and perceived lacks + limitations
Isolating one’s self from connections
Adapting a business mindset to intimate relationships
A general heaviness and pessimistic outlook on life
A type of tired you can’t seem to shake
What is a Spiritual Bath?
A spiritual bath is a ritual used to rebalance any denser energies that may be in lingering around in our energetic bodies. A collection of ingredients is used to charge the bathwater to wash away limiting beliefs, resistance, and/or any other disillusions that have taken root in our hearts and minds. All of the spiritual baths below use a Sea Salt + Epsom Salt + Pink Himalayan Salt Mixture, as well as other herbs, crystals, and essential oils.
The process of a spiritual bath is slightly different from a bath that does not focus on a spiritual intention. To maximize the benefits of a spiritual bath, complete the following:
Clean + Declutter Your Bath Space
Take A Quick Shower To Cleanse Before Bath
Fill Tub With Bath Water
Add 2 tablespoons of Bath Tea To Water
Smudge Bath Space
Relax for 20 Minutes
Complete An Intention-Setting Ritual While Relaxing ( Meditation, Prayer, Journaling, Soundbath, Breathwork, Emotional Freedom Tapping, etc.)

After relaxing into all of these spiritual bath’s I heard a loved one say to me, “You’re back!”. I felt light, relaxed, open, and in touch with myself and my journey. This state is a great place to be when we need a clear mind and peaceful spirit to look forward with honesty and humility about what we want to bring into our lives for the following year. So experiment with some ingredients/rituals, and take a dip to recharge and restore naturally!
Happy Soaking!
