    How to Use Your Simmer Pot:

    1. Remove Bay Leaves: Remove the bay leaves from your simmer pot and write your goals or manifestations on them, this can be something specific or even general, for instance, "strengthen friendships and bonds", "financial freedom", or "a new job opportunity comes to me". Once you've done that, set aside until the next step.
    2. Prepare Your Pot: Fill your favorite pot 3/4 of the way with water and combine all the ingredients into the pot. If you're wanting to do this intentionally, as you place in each ingredient, think about their properties and envision what you desire from each of those properties and how they relate to your life.
    3. Set Final Intentions: Once all your ingredients are in, place your bay leaves in with the rest of the simmer pot. Take a moment to meditate and think on what your goals are with the simmer pot! Stir the pot and the ingredients clockwise to set your intentions!
    4. Simmer: Turn to medium or high heat on your stove top and cover to until the mixture is boiling before reducing to low and let simmer. Once it's simmering, take the cover off to allow the mixture to release its aroma.
    5. Enjoy: Relish the aromatherapy for hours or even days. Add water as needed.
    6. Return to Nature: When done, safely discard the ingredients by composting or burying them, giving the energy back to the earth.
