Here is a basic Cinnamon Ritual you can do at home!
The Salt & Cinnamon Hand Washing Ritual
What you will need:
Ground Cinnamon
Salt (any kind will work)
A sink
1. This ritual is best practiced on the first day of the month, OR the first Sunday of the month
2. Begin by placing your hands under running warm water in the sink
3. While the water runs over your hands, say the following
“Creator, Spirit Guides & Ancestors:
I ask that you cut & clear all obstacles from my path,
I ask that you wash all blocks from these palms,
& welcome abundance through & to these hands.
May I never have less & always more,
May I be fruitful enough to bless myself & those around me,
May the love, light & blessings surround us all.”
4. After saying this aloud, remove your hands from the running water - but do not dry your hands
5. Pour about a teaspoon of salt & a teaspoon of cinnamon into your palms
6. You will begin to rub your hands with this mixture, creating it almost into a scrub
7. Start with the right hand, then your left - rubbing your hands together continuously
8. When rubbing your hands, make the effort to make the movement of rubbing inward - towards yourself instead of away. The key to this is the intention of wanting to bring abundance into our hands, not away from us
9. Continue to speak the intention aloud while rubbing,
“May I never have less & always more,
May I be fruitful enough to bless myself & those around me,
May the love, light & blessings surround us all.”
10. Do this motion with your hands about 8 times - if you miscount or do not feel called to the number 8, do any amount of times as long as it is an even number
11. Once you have completed these steps, you may now wash the scrub off of your hands with warm water - once more chanting
“Creator, Spirit Guides & Ancestors:
I ask that you cut & clear all obstacles from my path,
I ask that you wash all blocks from these palms,
& welcome abundance through & to these hands.
May I never have less & always more,
May I be fruitful enough to bless myself & those around me,
May the love, light & blessings surround us all.”
12. After rinsing, do not dry your hands - let them air dry
13. Be intentional and mindful of your thoughts while you wait for the drying phase to be over
14. Once your hands have completely dried, the ritual is complete - now would be a great time to journal the things you are grateful for and what it is that you want to manifest next
