February is here and that means there will be a subsection of the collective that begins to hyper-fixate about LOVE and all that it entails from now through Valentine's Day. But chances are that you are in the season of not only self-discovery, but the era of falling in love with yourself again, feeling proud and happy for all the amazing things you have and are actively accomplishing. This will be a culmination point of your self-acceptance and self-worthiness journey, and it will hit many of you hard when you are single as a pringle loving life this year. That being said, what a better way to celebrate your fortune and admiration of self than with a Simmer Pot to spread good vibes full of unconditional love around your home with a touch of gratitude included for all the past versions of you that have gotten you this far. Don't forget that all simmer pots can be doubled as a spiritual bath later on! A two for one bonus!
Self-Love and Admiration Simmer Pot Ingredients:
Whole Cloves (2 or 4)
Salt
Cinnamon Sticks (2)
Rose Petals
Lavendar
Apples
Jasmine
Hibiscus
Lemon Balm
Holy Basil
Hawthorn
Dandelion

Whelp, let's get cooking! Grab a medium pot and fill 3/4 of the way with water. For any of my overachievers you can always add any specialty waters to your simmer pots for an extra energy boost **cough, cough anyone who made moon water.....now's your chance to add some**. Slowly add in your ingredients while focusing your intention and energy into each ingredient you place in the water. Fire up that stove to medium/ medium-high heat. You can simmer the pot until your water is all, but gone. Remember this is your Energy, Intention, and Magic! Make it yours. Generally speaking, when stirring your ingredients, when you try to "attract" energy you want to stir in a clockwise motion toward you and when you want to "banish, repel, or rid" energy you stir in a counterclockwise motion away from you.
