Self-Love Encouragement Ritual
A ritual with a mirror, a candle and words written to yourself, for an evening given to your own needs. Best time: Sunday (the day of the Sun) or during a full moon. You will need: a mirror (large enough to see your face) and a pink or white candle.
This is a tradition and not medical or financial advice.
What you will need
- Mirror (large enough to see your face)
- Pink or white candle
- Essential oil of your choice (rose, lavender, ylang-ylang)
- Sheet of paper and pen
Ritual steps
- Preparation: Create a cozy and peaceful atmosphere. You may play gentle music. Place the mirror in front of you and light the candle next to it.
- Aromatherapy: Drop a few drops of essential oil on your wrists or in an aroma lamp. Take several deep breaths to relax.
- Connecting with yourself: Look at yourself in the mirror. Really look. Try to see beyond the criticism. Look into your eyes and greet yourself.
- Affirmations: On the sheet of paper write at least 5 things you like and value about yourself. These can be physical qualities, character traits, or achievements. Read them aloud while looking in the mirror. After each sentence say “I love and accept myself fully and unconditionally.”
- Completion: Let the candle burn a bit longer while you meditate on the feeling of self-love. When you are ready, extinguish it. Keep the affirmation sheet and read it every morning for one week.
