If you adore crystals and soothing, restorative baths, a rose quartz crystal bath may be an idyllic combination for you.
We tend to think of healing crystals as lovely, helpful stones that we carry with us or keep nearby, display around our homes, or use in crystal grids or layouts. But did you know that many crystals can also be incredibly supportive and beneficial when used in self-care?
For example, a wonderful way to enjoy rose quartz is in a blissfully nurturing crystal bath.
Rose quartz crystals are known for gently inspiring all types of love and fostering calmness, balance, and harmony… And adding rose quartz to bathtime can be such a lovely, effective way to cherish yourself with the soft, uplifting energy of this very special crystal.
If you’re looking for new ways to enjoy rose quartz, here are some reasons why you may adore a rose quartz crystal bath.
Choose one or a few small, smooth rose quartz crystals to use in your crystal bath. If you haven’t already cleansed them, take a few moments to do that now, using your favorite crystal cleansing method. If the stones are quite small and you’re concerned they may accidentally go down the bath drain, pop them in a small cloth bag before adding them to the bath.
Draw a warm (not hot) bath. While the water runs, why not warm a fluffy bath towel and your robe in the dryer?
To enhance the spa-like experience, light a few candles and add some pampering extras, like fragrant salts or oils. For extra luxury, add a bath pillow. Put on some quiet, relaxing music to suit your mood and dim the lights.
Set the crystals near or on the side of the tub, ready to add after you get in the bath. (If you add them beforehand, you may accidentally step or sit on the crystals while getting in the bath.)
Get in the bath, and then place the crystals in the water with you. Remember to set your intention, that the crystals will infuse the bath with their essence.
Lie back to immerse yourself in the crystal bath’s vibrations, enjoying a tranquil, restorative soak.
As you rest in the bath, allow your body to absorb its loving, balancing energy and vibrations. Picture the rose quartz crystals drawing any worries or stresses you have out of and away from your body, mind, and spirit as the warm water soothes and rejuvenates you.
Relax in the crystal bath as long as you’d like. Afterwards, carefully dry your crystals. Then, smooth on some lovely body moisturizer, slip on your robe, and snuggle in bed or a cozy chair with your favorite beverage and a treasured book.
If you’re not feeling up to a bath or your feet are especially achy after a long day, why not pamper yourself with a comforting, refreshing rose quartz foot bath?
Be sure to cleanse and clean your crystals after using them in a crystal bath or foot soak.
To enjoy a crystal foot bath, add cleansed rose quartz crystals to warm water in a foot basin or tub. For added calming, restorative benefits, add some Epsom salts to the foot bath as well, if you’d like.
Then, all that’s left to do is relax in a comfy chair and slip your tired feet into the foot bath.
After you’ve soaked your feet for 20 minutes or so, towel them off gently and apply a nourishing lotion or cream before putting on soft, thick socks. Very comforting, especially before a nap or bedtime.
