With Halloween just passed, I thought I would write an article about using
salt for protection. Practitioners of all faiths have used salt to
cleanse and prepare a space. If you have a spiritual practice, you can
use salt to strengthen it.
Salt crystals act like any kind of crystal. They hold intention, and
broadcast their programming continuously. Salt correlates with the
element of earth, which makes it good for anything involving grounding
and neutralizing negativity. Salt has a neutral vibration, and good salt
- such as Himalayan salt - has a very heart-based vibration as well.
Salt embodies all these concepts: earth, neutrality, and protection.
On a personal level, you can ingest salt, or use it for bathing. Both
ways incorporate salt into your system. Ingesting the salt in your food
keeps the levels constant. Using solay introduces a concentrated burst
of light. Bathing with salt has a very purifying effect both physically
and metaphysically. On a physical level, it helps the body detoxify. On
a metaphysical level, it helps get rid of negative energy. Before you
can cleanse your outer space, you must cleanse your inner space, and
salt lets you do both very easily.
When salt and water combine they form a new essence, as with bathing or
making solay. You can use this to bless water as well. Simply sprinkle a
little salt or a few solay drops into some purified water. Do this with
intent, using any magical items you have to aide you. Intention rules.
You can use this blessed water to sprinkle around a space, to purify
yourself, or in any other creative way where you would use blessed
water.
To purify a space, you can use salt to make a salt circle. Stand facing
east, and cast it in the four directions going clockwise. You can also
sprinkle around some blessed water, as detailed above. This makes a very
potent way to protect a space, and to dedicate it for meditation and
energy work. Solay rocks can work well to help anchor energy as well,
for example by placing a rock in each of the four corners of a room.
Salt lamps generate negative ions, which have positive results. They
make wonderful additions to a space to generate healthy energy, and to
keep negative forces away. Many people describe them as looking magical
for a reason.
I hope you found some useful information in this article. Remember that
we now reside in the darkest time of the year, between Halloween and
Christmas. Take care, keep on guard, and always keep some salt handy!
Stay strong through this time. Good always prevails.
