A 5-Step Emotional Cleansing Ritual For Water Signs

Guided by their sensitive nature and intuition, Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio tend to carry the heaviest emotional loads of all the zodiac signs. Not to mention, they’re naturally nostalgic, which can exacerbate loss and make them feel stuck. 

Additionally, these empathetic signs may absorb intense emotions from everyone and everything, so it’s important for them to ritualistically cleanse their energy bodies as they focus on releasing what no longer serves them. Although this practice takes place in a body of water, it doesn’t entail physical washing (but that feels good, too).

(NOTE: Anyone with water in their chart could benefit from this ritual.) 

How to Cleanse the Energy Body 

Step 1:

Draw a bath or start the shower. Make sure the temperature is comfortable. OPTIONAL: You may hold water-safe crystals such as clear quartz, smoky quartz, or amethyst during this ritual.

Step 2:

Enter the bath or shower and close your eyes. Begin by taking 5-10 deep breaths to center yourself and enter a state of relaxation.

Step 3:

As the water envelopes you, imagine the pain points in your life manifesting as a sort of emotional debris, mucking up your aura. Next, envision a pure white light shining into every cell of your being, dissolving the debris as it illuminates every part of you. Don’t rush this meditation; let yourself bask in the warmth of the light as it works to break down any unwanted feelings, habits, or attachments. 

Step 4:

When you feel ready, take a few more deep breaths. With the water still washing over you, allow it to reinvigorate your newly purified energy body, as though it’s your first time bathing or showering. Delight in the sensations as the water dances across your skin.

Step 5:

Close out the practice with a prayer of gratitude, if it suits you. Repeat the above as often as needed.
