​Rituals For Self-Love

Everyone takes a hit to their self-esteem at least once. For some people, their self-worth might be wounded after losing a job or a relationship. For others, it can happen after years of childhood trauma. While time helps heal most wounds, having low self-esteem can go on for what feels like ages. Fortunately, there are ways you can help use your spiritual energy to improve your confidence. Work with the Solar Plexus and Heart Chakras According to Hindi Tantrism, the body holds seven major energy centers (and even more minor ones). These are called chakras, the Sanskrit word for "wheel." Each chakra is tied to certain aspects of the physical, emotional, and spiritual self. The solar plexus chakra, Manipura, is located a few inches above the navel, while the heart chakra, Anahata, is in the center of the chest. A blockage in either of these can manifest as low confidence and a lack of self-love. Certain colors and crystals can help open these chakras. For Manipura, the seat of confidence, place a citrine or pyrite stone on the abdomen. Anoint a yellow candle with sandalwood oil, and picture a glowing yellow lotus opening in your solar plexus area as you meditate. For Anahata, place a rose quartz stone over the heart area. Anoint a green or pink candle with rose oil, and picture a glowing green lotus opening in your chest area as you meditate. Petition the Saints While there is no saint directly associated with self-esteem or self-love, there are a few that can help you when you feel less than confident in yourself. Saint Joseph can help you when you aren't confident in your life's journey. Pray to him to choose a good vocation and path in life. Wear a Saint Joseph bracelet to help you find an empowering job, and Saint Joseph perfume when you need help presenting yourself with confidence in job interviews. A lesser-known French saint, Saint Germaine Cousin, is a powerful protector of abused children. If the root cause of your low self-esteem stems from a rough childhood, light a white candle and pray to her for help and healing. Create a Pampering Ritual If you use a self-love ritual, it is important to repeat it regularly. Build it into your schedule, so taking care of yourself becomes a habit. One helpful way to do this is with a ritual bath.
