Do you ever have those times where you feel you could use just a little extra courage or inner strength? Pretty sure we can all relate to that feeling.
So let’s harness the magick of flowers and do just that, shall we.
Flowers are beautiful and divine little pieces of nature and, just like with crystals and trees, they each carry their own vibrations and magickal properties that can aid us in many ways.
Sometimes we all need a little boost when it comes to taking on tasks that scare us or we encounter something we feel we can’t get through; be it talking to your boss or partner about something controversial, the loss of a pet, or just getting through a difficult time in general. Because let’s face it, life is hard. And sometimes we all need something to help lift us up.
Considering how challenging this year has been for so many. I thought to share this little ritual for you to try if you are feeling some type of way. It may help to give you that extra bit of strength and confidence you need to push past any fears or difficulties you are facing in this moment.
So, let’s begin 🙂
Ritual for Inner Strength
We shall be utilizing the courage bolstering, and wonderfully fragrant, geranium flower. Freesias may also be used as an alternative.
Tools Required:
- Petals of 2 – 3 geraniums (fresh if possible but not mandatory)
- 2 glass mason jars with lids
- 1 cup distilled water
- Strainer
Ritual Steps:
- Place geranium petals into jar.
- Fill jar with water.
- Seal tightly.
- Place the jar outside under the moonlight for the petals to infuse their properties into the water. Your infusion will be more potent if done during a waxing moon (the best lunar time for courage enhancing practices).
- Leave overnight.
- In the morning strain into clean jar. Store water in the fridge until use (sooner is better).
- When you feel the time is right add the water into a warm bath.
- Spend at least 20 minutes soaking in the essence of the flower and visualize conquering what’s to come with the utmost of strength and grace. Reciting affirmations surrounding the situation is also a nice addition, if you feel so inclined.
Optional: Put a small amount of the water into a spray bottle. Mist bare skin prior to dressing for the day so that you may carry that magick with you.
Fun Fact: The essence of Geraniums can also be used for encouraging positivity, strength, love, healing, and protection.
Let Your Inner Strength Shine
And there you have it, this is a quick, simple, and relaxing ritual. Because really, who doesn’t love a nice bath? Lol.
If you don’t have a bathtub you may adapt the ritual to the shower. Still take your time and visualize, but instead of soaking in the water slowly pour it over self a little at a time so that the jar lasts the full length of time you spend showering.
This ritual will leave you feeling confident, refreshed, and strong. You will feel more confident to take on the day and anything it may throw your way.
Embrace these feelings and try to carry them with you in the days and weeks to come. And the ritual can always be repeated as necessary.
Also, if you are experiencing times of stress please remember to practice self care daily. We need to take care of ourselves especially when we are feeling overwhelmed in certain life situations.
And remember, even without this ritual you are strong and you are powerful. This is meant to enhance what you already have inside of you, which is fierceness and beauty.
So please enjoy and if you try it out do let me know how it goes for you!
