The Easiest Basic Bath Salt

This recipe came from "Incenses, Oils and Brews" by Scott Cunningham. I personally prefer these over the herbs. This makes a great gift, if you put it in a sealed jar. In a large glass bowl, mix the following: 3 parts Epsom Salts 2 parts baking soda 1 part table salt or borax Mix thoroughly. This is the base for the formulae I'll post over the next few days. You are certainly welcome to use plain food coloring, drop by drop into the salt. To mix a color like purple, mix them in a spoon first. For the ones labeled White, just leave them untinted. Use a spoon to mix it all up. Now add the essential oils. (Please use genuine essential oils.) Visualize the energies in the oils merging with the salt. Keep the goal in mind. Clean the tub first! To use, add two tablespoons to 1/2 cup of the salt mix to a full tub.

Please feel free to translate to your own belief system.If I use a term you don't know, forgive me and ask if you can't puzzle it out. LET'S SYNCHRONIZE OUR DEFINITIONS Belief: 1) acceptance of the truth or actuality of anything without certain proof. In other words, FAITH. You believe a certain way without having proof that it is the absolute (or only) ...
