New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| New Year's Eve
As we all know, the end of the year is an excellent time for new beginnings. Cleansing yourself with complementary alchemical agents can enhance this opportunity for rebirth by drawing on the basic elements of life. In a large pot, bring the following ingredients to a boil, then strain, cover, and let cool until warm to the touch. 1 bottle of red wine 1 apple, diced 1 book of matches (for the sulphur) 1 T. anise seed 3 T. sea salt 1 cup of apple juice 2 cups of pure spring water or fresh river water When ready, stand naked in a full, warm bathtub. Lift the pot over your head and drench your body in the brew of rebirth. (Do not drink the body wash). Feel the water embrace you as you return to the womb of the Great Mother. Allow your pains and sorrows to leave you, let her take them from you. When you have finished, drain the tub. Feel this "water break" as the inevitable force of change and when the water is all gone, slide or crawl from the tub and learn to stand once again. |
