How do we finally do the body bath? 6 tips
- Divide the water into three parts, since you will take three baths in a row, one each day.
- In each ritual you should always have the candle lit and at the end turn it off.
- Remember every day to pray with faith the prayer that I shared with you, light the candle before you start praying and keep it for the duration of your bath.
- After your daily bath with clear water, you pour that prepared ritual water over your body and let it dry on your body, do not dry yourself with a towel.
- At the end clean the shower and collect the remains of plants that were left, throw them in the trash.
- Wear white clothes after the ritual so that the positive energies are activated.
Remember that the main ingredient in this Ritual Bath at the foot of the Virgen de Regla is faith.
May the Virgencita listen to your requests and strengthen you! Blessings.
