Brooklyn-based energetic healer Emily Mikaelah of Helios + Solene wants you to approach the spring equinox with good intentions. To make sure we step into the new season with our spirits and head held high, she paid us a visit to show us how to make our very own at-home ritual bath.

"Now is a really powerful time to do all sorts of rituals and meditative work," she says. The best part? You can add as much or as little ingredients as your heart desires.
