It can become a personal sanctuary, a place where you can unwind, let go and recharge. With the power of essential oils, you can turn everyday routines into magical rituals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>A moment of tranquillity and rituals<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personally, I really enjoy using the <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/de-kracht-van-de-maan\/\">lunar cycle<\/a> to work, and that includes my little moments in the bathroom. It\u2019s lovely to set aside some time for yourself during the waning moon and reflect on what you no longer need, so that you can let it go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can support this beautifully by doing some energy cleansing: letting go of energy and giving back what isn\u2019t yours. Run yourself a lovely warm bath, light some candles, put on some nice <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/6jt2k1TwyEy0WTRY2yST1R?si=43ec93c00bd04618\">healing music<\/a> and clean your bathroom with <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/product\/salie\/\">Salie<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/product\/palo-santo-stokjes-3\/\">Palo Santo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen--1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-265302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen--1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen--300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen--150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen--768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen--1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen-.png 2048w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen--350x350.png 350w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen--600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen--100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a small bowl, make a smooth mixture of two generous scoops <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/product\/epsom-zout-750-gr\/\">Epsom salt<\/a>, a generous splash <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/products\/basic-massage-oils\/base-oils\/\">base oil<\/a> and 10 to 15 drops of essential oil of your choice. This is important to ensure that the oil is absorbed by the salt and the carrier oil. That way, it does not come into direct contact with the skin and emulsifies with the bath water.<br>Get into the bath and only add the mixture once you\u2019re in. Epsom salt helps to relax your muscles and joints and cleanses you of any negative energy. So it\u2019s a brilliant salt for both relaxation and energetic cleansing! <br>Don\u2019t have a bath? No problem! Run a warm foot bath in a small basin with one generous tablespoon of Epsom salt, a small splash of carrier oil and three to five drops of your chosen essential oil. Or drip the essential oil onto a flannel and place it in the shower. The heat and moisture will help the scent to spread beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enjoy the lovely warmth, the scent and the music\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Which oils are suitable?<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a wide range of essential oils to choose from for use in the bath. It is best to avoid using some essential oils in the bath, as they may irritate the skin or cause unwanted reactions.\u00a0These include \u201cwarming\u201d oils such as Cinnamon, Clove, Lemongrass, Peppermint and Thyme, as well as citrus oils, which are photosensitising. Camphor, Black Pepper and Nutmeg are also best avoided in the bath. Here are some of my favourite oils to use in a ritual bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen-enkelvoudige-olien-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-265404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen-enkelvoudige-olien-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen-enkelvoudige-olien-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen-enkelvoudige-olien-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen-enkelvoudige-olien-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen-enkelvoudige-olien-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen-enkelvoudige-olien.png 2048w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen-enkelvoudige-olien-350x350.png 350w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen-enkelvoudige-olien-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Salie-Badkamer-geheimen-enkelvoudige-olien-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/product\/himalaya-ceder-olie\/\">\ud835\ude77\ud835\ude92\ud835\ude96\ud835\ude8a\ud835\ude95\ud835\ude8a\ud835\udea2\ud835\ude8a \ud835\ude72\ud835\ude8e\ud835\ude8d\ud835\ude8e\ud835\ude9b<\/a> \ud835\ude8e\ud835\ude97 <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/product\/eucalyptus-olie\/\">\ud835\ude74\ud835\ude9e\ud835\ude8c\ud835\ude8a\ud835\ude95\ud835\udea2\ud835\ude99\ud835\ude9d\ud835\ude9e\ud835\ude9c<\/a> \ud835\ude8e\ud835\ude9d\ud835\ude91\ud835\ude8e\ud835\ude9b\ud835\ude92\ud835\ude9c\ud835\ude8c\ud835\ude91\ud835\ude8e \ud835\ude98\ud835\ude95\ud835\ude92\ud835\ude8e<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I absolutely love this combination of two oils! The sweet scent of cedar, combined with the freshness of eucalyptus, creates a refreshing yet comforting moment. Himalayan cedar is known for deepening spiritual practices and rituals. Just like eucalyptus, it also has a purifying effect. They really are a brilliant pair! It\u2019s also lovely to use during sauna infusions, but unfortunately I don\u2019t have a sauna in my bathroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/product\/lord-saint-germain\/\">\ud835\ude7b\ud835\ude98\ud835\ude9b\ud835\ude8d \ud835\ude82\ud835\ude8a\ud835\ude92\ud835\ude97\ud835\ude9d \ud835\ude76\ud835\ude8e\ud835\ude9b\ud835\ude96\ud835\ude8a\ud835\ude92\ud835\ude97<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lord Saint Germain is the guardian of the Violet Flame. This flame is used to burn away all burdens and negative energy. This purifies us and allows us to enjoy our lives without hindrance. Visualise a violet flame and let it move gently through your aura and body. For every blockage that you no longer need, ask Lord Saint Germain to remove it. See and feel this happening. Take a few deep breaths in and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add crystals to your water for an extra boost of energy. In particular, the <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/product\/good-vibes-only-de-gouden-driehoek\/\">Golden Triangle<\/a> is ideal for this.
