Preparing for Your Wild Woman Salt Soak Ritual
Before you dive into the bath, take a few moments to create a sacred space that supports your healing journey. This is a time to be gentle with yourself and honor your inner wildness and strength.
1. Cleanse Your Space: Physically and energetically clean the space around your bath. Wipe down the tub and surrounding area, and if you like, burn some sage or palo santo to clear any stagnant energy. You want this space to feel like a safe, sacred container for transformation.
2. Gather Your Ritual Tools: Here's what you'll need to support your bath ritual:

Step 1: Preparing the Bath
Start by filling the bathtub with warm water—just the way you like it. As the water begins to flow, add a generous handful of the Wild Woman Salt Soak. The salt soak is infused with herbs, flowers, and minerals that carry the powerful energy of the climbing rose, helping you reconnect to your strength and courage.
Visualize the Power of the Salt Soak: As the salts dissolve, imagine them forming a deep, grounding force beneath the water's surface. See the water slowly turning a rich, earthy tone, filled with the energy of resilience, growth, and renewal. You are preparing to bathe in the strength of the Wild Woman herself—the untamed, passionate, and fiercely resilient spirit that resides in all of us.
Step 2: Create Your Sacred Space
Once your bath is ready, begin setting up your space. Light your candles, placing them around the bathtub to create a soft, grounding glow. The candles' colors—deep reds and oranges—represent the raw, earthy energy of strength, transformation, and rebirth.
Crystal Placement: Place your crystals nearby, or if you like, hold them in your hands while in the bath. For example:
Black Tourmaline: This gemstone is used for grounding and protection. It helps you stay rooted in your inner strength during times of uncertainty.
Hematite: To bring stability and support to your energy, helping you remain strong and resilient.
Amethyst: To aid in spiritual healing and provide clarity during emotional turbulence.
Carnelian: For revitalization and courage, encouraging you to take action and rise through adversity.
If you have rose petals, scatter them gently on the water's surface. Visualize them as symbols of the climbing rose—delicate yet powerful, soft yet fiercely resilient.
Step 3: Step Into the Wild Woman Salt Soak Energy
Before you step into the bath, pause to center yourself. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let go of any external distractions. This time is for you, for healing, and for reclaiming your power.
As you sink into the warm water, feel the world's weight being softened. Imagine the water surrounding you as a sacred container for your transformation, holding space for your feelings, struggles, and growth. The Wild Woman Salt Soak will help you release what no longer serves you while nourishing and restoring your inner strength.
Visualization for Reclaiming Your Power:
Visualize Your Strength Rising: As you relax into the water, visualize yourself as a climbing rose. Imagine your roots sinking deep into the earth, drawing on the strength of the soil, and from this foundation, you begin to increase. Slowly, you grow taller and more powerful, blooming despite the obstacles that have tried to hold you back. Every petal you unfold represents a layer of healing, resilience, and growth.
Embrace Your Inner Wildness: Picture yourself shedding the layers of fear, self-doubt, and disconnection. These energies fall away like petals in the water, leaving only your most authentic self—strong, powerful, and unafraid. You are a wild force of nature, untamed and free, ready to rise through any storm.
Release What No Longer Serves You: With each breath, imagine releasing the emotions that weigh you down. See them dissolve into the water, turning into a mist that dissipates into the air. Feel lighter, freer, and more aligned with your purpose.
Call on the Resilient Energy of the Climbing Rose: As the energy of the Wild Woman fills you, recall the climbing rose. Though it faces challenges—harsh winds or rocky terrain—it grows and thrives because it is rooted in its inner strength. You, too, can increase, even when life feels dark. Know that every step forward, no matter how small, is an act of courage and healing.
Step 4: Meditation and Reflection
After settling into the bath for 10-15 minutes, enter into a deeper state of relaxation. If you feel comfortable, close your eyes and focus on your breath, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly. Let go of any tension in your body, surrendering to the energy of renewal flowing through you.
Optional Audio Meditation: For an added layer of support, consider listening to a calming guided meditation or mantra, such as:
"Rooted in Resilience: A Guided Meditation for Strength" – A voice guiding you to feel grounded in your body, connecting to the strength of the earth and your inner power.
"Rebirth of the Wild Woman" – A visualization of the climbing rose that helps you reconnect with your wild, untamed energy.
Step 5: Aftercare and Journaling
When you're ready to exit the bath, do so slowly. As you step out, take a moment to feel the water dripping off you—symbolizing the release of the old, the heavy, and the stagnant. Wrap yourself in a soft towel or blanket, allowing yourself to integrate the energy you've cultivated gently.
Now is the time to reflect and integrate. Journaling after the ritual is a powerful way to solidify the healing and insights you've received during the bath. Here are some journal prompts to guide your reflections:
Journal Prompts for Aftercare:
What emotions surfaced during the bath, and what did they have to teach me?
What areas of my life need to feel more grounded and rooted in my strength?
How can I tap into my inner Wild Woman energy when I feel lost or uncertain?
What part of myself have I reclaimed through this ritual?
What next steps can I take to rise more muscular and more aligned with my authentic power?
Closing the Ritual:
After journaling, take a moment to offer gratitude for the healing you've received. Blow out your candles, knowing that the energy of the Wild Woman—the climbing rose—will continue to guide you through any darkness. You are resilient, powerful, and capable of rising no matter what life throws your way.
