10 Nighttime Rituals for a Relaxed & Recharged Night

... And happy spirit!

Whether it's making manifestation moves or brainstorming my next project during the day, I always feel the need to be in a state of complete zen after it all. We typically go through the day with all kinds of energies around us that we forget about cleansing our energetic bodies and just hit the sack. Even if you are at home surfing through Instagram, I still consider that as tapping into energy fields. Even strenuously using your mental to finish up your 10-page paper in your room, by yourself, that requires a lot of mental energy--- definitely a indication for some self-love, unwinding before bed.

Traditional nightly routines often consist of washing your face, brushing your teeth, maybe shower, then sleep. While these routines are important to our physical bodies, the most forgotten and not commonly talked about is taking care of our energetic body or energy field or soul or spirit...

... Or for the sake of the new-age skeptics, taking care of YOURSELF. Your entire existence that includes both your physical and infinite self.

This is what I like to call: physical, emotional, spiritual, and energetic maintenance or spiritual maintenance. This helps keep me balanced and in the flow with the beautiful miracles that are in my path. I want to be ready with open arms by being receptive to all good things that are on its way to me. Like a magnet... pulling to me all that is in alignment to my higher purpose. And in order for me to be in this element, BALANCE IS KEY AF.

"Balance is not something you find. It's something you create"

These are a few essential rituals that I typically do every night. I dedicate 1-2 hours before I get to bed.

Here are 10 nightly rituals I do to have a more balanced and peaceful me:

1. Shower with Bath Salts

It's going to be a 6-9 hour unconscious ride. I like to freshen up my body and shower with bath salts. Bath salts are great for drawing out toxins, cleansing your aura and removing negative energies. So not only do we cleanse our bodies, but we are also cleansing our energy fields simultaneously! Feeling fresh is definitely a relaxing factor in my night time rituals.

2. Tidy the Room

I can't emphasize this enough. Our environment is important. This means de-cluttering your space. We are a reflection of our external world. So don't mind me when I get into my random clean-up mode. It is actually very meditative for me and keeps me in a clear space.

3. Dry Bathe

QUICK FACT: I am a second level (inactive) Reiki practitioner. Dry bathing is a technique used to cleanse ourselves from any low vibrational energy. So I was taught that not only is it important to cleanse ourselves physically but to cleanse ourselves energetically, too! We are basically like antennas that can easily pick up and absorb other peoples energies. There is a certain technique you can do to dry bathe. You can learn it on YouTube here. It is completely vital to cleanse any negative energies we may have picked up in our energy fields. I can definitely feel the difference when I do it. I follow this with my next ritual...

4. Smudge Yo`self

My fave tools to smudge with: Palo Santo + Sage. These two are my favorite energy cleansing tools. They are both sacred tools that you ignite like an incense and blow it out while its smoke lingers a therapeutic scent. They both have therapeutic properties that not only puts you in a peaceful and zen-like state, but also cleanses out negative or lower energies that may have absorbed or attach on to your energy field. My sister and I create palo santo bundles infused with crystal clear quartz. You can get it here. If you're allergic to smoke, there are also smudge sprays. My sister and I also create crystal infused smudge sprays, as well. It's our most popular item on Etsy. :)

5. Aroma Therapy

Burn Incense

This is a must-do ritual for me. It definitely sets the mood for a complete zen environment. Just how I like it. Aroma therapy is great for putting you into a relaxed mood. It also uplifts your spirit. And incenses help provide that for me. I would much rather be lighting up an incense than to diffuse toxic, chemically infused products in my room.

Diffuser

Having a diffuser is such a great self-love investment. I purchased mine from OfferUp for $20. You can also find them on Amazon, too. There's so many benefits through the large selection of essential oils that you use. What I absolutely love about essential oils is the multitude of benefits it includes. Oh, the joy of stimulating my senses while reaping the benefits of different essential oils!

7. Slather my Face

My face is super sensitive. I've never had an issue with acne until I turned 24 years old. I've never suffered with acne during my teenage years and all of a sudden, for some strange reason, I started getting adult acne. Around the time I started sprouting pimples, my boyfriend introduced me to Tai, who is now one of my lovely friends on Earth. She owns PurplGoat, which is an all natural, non-toxic skin-care brand. I wash my face with Goat Milk & Lavender Soap first. Then, I slather my face with unMask (Calm). Self-love at its finest!

8. Medicate-then-Meditate

I medicate in a cannabis kind of way. We are all different in how our bodies respond to cannabis. But I see it as a healing plant for me. Indica's are my cup of tea. It's my choice of strain all day, everyday, which always puts me in a least-resistant state. Being in this state where the indica helps me quiet the mind, unwind, and relax my body.

9. Time for reflection - Journal

It's gratitude time! Once I've reached my relaxed mode, it is usually the time for me to express my gratitude in my journal. This is an act of self-love and creating a space of high vibrational energy in your field. This also helps with steering clear of your truth and who you really are.

10. Scent the Pillows

Bruuhh... I am instantly in dreamland once that dash of Eucalyptus essential oil hits the pillow. There definitely has to be something about the properties it contains that stimulate the sleeping senses. I purchased myself a large selection of essential oils to learn and apply to my life. I created body butters, compiled combos to put into my diffuser, facial toners, and more! They're all super beneficial to your health.

These are the rituals that I love to do every night that sets me up to have a relaxed slumber into an inspired and productive day. If you've noticed, many of my rituals include cleansing any negative energies. IT'S SUPER F*CKING KEY TO BE AWARE OF YOUR ENERGY LEVELS. I can't emphasize enough to keep a happy and cleansed energy field filled with positivity.

Please note that I don't do this in the order its been written in. Another note, my definition of productive could be different from yours. I make sure I fit in things that I love to do like, journaling! Plus, it is good for your emotional health. Fall in love with taking care of yourself mind, body, spirit. And remember, self-love is not selfish!

The most powerful relationship you will ever have is the

relationship with yourself
