Energy of Salt

For the longest time, in the spiritual/occult/metaphysical communities, you'll read and hear about how important salt is. You see it used in television shows to ward off ghosts, create safe circles against evil, people give salt as a blessing upon a new home, and science will tell you how beneficial it is to be at the seaside and how healing it is.

I took it on faith that all of this was true, but there came a day when I wanted to understand the "why" of it, so I researched it. WARNING: SCIENCE AHEAD!

As I have come to find out, salt actually raises and transforms the vibrational level of energy. As most of you know energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only change form. In this case, salt raises that vibrational level, therefore the energetic level is changed--and for the better.

Every living thing has an energetic frequency. Some things move at lower (slower) levels of energy, some move at higher (faster) levels of energy. Salt's crystalline structure is a cube. This is important as far as energy is concerned. During further study I found out that the cube structure not only absorbs more energy, but retains its structure for a longer amount of time without deteriorating. So not only does it raise energetic levels and absorbs more energy, but it takes longer to break down.

Salt crystals also contain photons ("A photon is an elementary particle, the quantum of all forms of electromagnetic radiation including light. It is the force carrier for electromagnetic force, even when static via virtual photons.").

When working with salt, we are working with a perfect crystalline structure that contains light and has the ability change and raise energy.

Why is this important? Since living things have their own unique energetic frequencies, salt can help stabilize and raise that frequency.

Spiritual energy that moves at a lower level, when exposed to salt will either be repelled by it (because salt is pure) or be transformed by it. Which is why when dealing with negative energy (whether that be a negative entity or you feel energetically drained or stuck) it works to cleanse and re-balance you. It also explains why it's used as protection. Salt is basically a crystal battery that contains pure light.

Now having explained the science behind why salt works, you'll understand why I recommend this nice "cleansing" bath for anyone who feels they are suffering from low or negative energy.

1 Cup Cleansing Bath

In your bath water add the following items:

~ 1 cup of salt (make sure to use kosher, sea salt, or Himalayan salt. Table salt has too many chemicals and impurities in it)

~ 1 cup of epsom salts (magnesium sulfate)

~ 1 cup of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)

~ 7 drops of lavender essential oil


You're probably wondering why I added all the other ingredients if salt seems to be the magic ingredient.

Epsom salts have been recommended for sore muscles, but not only that, Epsom salts absorb easier into your body and last longer (which is one of the reasons they're good for sore muscles).

I added baking soda because it's been a proven detoxifier of poisons and chemicals.

The lavender essential oil was added because it's used to calm and uplift mood.

So next time you're feeling down in the dumps, physically ill, or have just had a long day and need a good soak, try using the 1 Cup Cleansing Bath!
