Image Statement: Many ceremonies have been written using a mikveh (ritual bath) for healing rituals. Immersion: Rebirth is a spiritual mikveh to be used in a healing ceremony when getting to an actual mikveh is not possible or desired. Its use marks that moment in time when you are alone with God. Prayers are recited that ask, plead and thank God for the strength and understanding to emerge from darkness renewed and to begin life again.
