We all need to take time out to focus. Here is a simple self-love jar ritual to help create more self-love in your life.

Things you will need.

A pink or green candle, but the colour does not matter! – both pink and green are good for love.

A Jar which has a lid.

Three small pieces of paper and a pen.

Rose quartz, or crystal chips- Rose quartz is great for love.

Dried lavender – lavender is great for self-love.

Dried rose petals.

Pink Himalayan salt -Himalayan pink salt helps to restore a sense of self-love.  It also grounds and centres you. 

Rose incense.

If you do not have some of these items, it does not matter, your intentions matter. Work with what you have.

The ritual

Firstly light your candle and meditate on the flame, feel pink warm loving energy coming around you.

Next light your incense, rose is best but any will do. When you have done this use the incense smoke to cleanse your jar.

If you do not have any incense you can anoint it with essential oil if you have them, but you do not have to do this part.

On three separate small pieces of paper write down three positive affirmations about yourself.

Now place the dried lavender in the jar. Next, you need to read each of your affirmations aloud after you have done this, fold the paper and pass through the incense smoke. Place the paper in the jar and sprinkle rose petals on top. Do this with each affirmation. Take your time and mean what you say.

Hold the rose quartz chips or crystal in your hands, and repeat the affirmation, “I AM ENOUGH” three times. Pass the crystal through the incense and place it in the jar.

Finally, sprinkle the Himalayan salts in the jar.

You have two options here, you can either screw the lid on, so you can add more affirmations or you may choose to wax seal the lid with one of the candles.
