December solstice ritual to renew energy and protect us from envy

The Summer solstice It opens a door for us to change our energy, to give our routine a breath of fresh air, and to get rid of all the “bad vibes” around us.

We prepare an altar with a white candle, to light our way, and a violet (or purple) candle to transmute all the negative. Next we place a glass of water and lavender or lemon incense.

After lighting the candles, we imagine ourselves enveloped in a white aura and thank the Universe for allowing us to surround ourselves with positive energy. When we finish, we say: “Thanks thanks thanks”.

When the candles go out, we pour water into a pot or place with earth with our left hand.

At that moment, the ideal is to take a discharge bath: when we finish taking a shower, we throw a mixture of lavender-scented water from the neck down. In this way we are already ready to receive all the good and the news that the Universe has in store for us.
