Introduction
For centuries, salt and water have been used in spiritual and cultural traditions to cleanse negative energy from homes. Whether you’re experiencing tension, unexplained fatigue, or just want to refresh the atmosphere, this simple purification method can help restore harmony. Using salt and water to purify your space is an affordable, natural, and effective way to clear stagnant or harmful energy.
This guide will walk you through a straightforward cleansing ritual using salt and water, ensuring your home feels lighter and more peaceful.
Ingredients
1 cup of natural sea salt, Himalayan salt, or kosher salt
2 cups of clean, filtered water
1 small glass or ceramic bowl (avoid plastic or metal)
Optional: a few drops of essential oil (such as lavender or sage) for added cleansing properties
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cleansing Solution
Fill your bowl with filtered water.
Slowly add the salt while stirring gently until it dissolves.
If using essential oils, add a few drops and mix well.
2. Place the Saltwater in Key Areas
Position the bowl in rooms where energy feels heavy or stagnant. Common areas include near the front door, in corners, under the bed, or in workspaces.
Let the saltwater sit for 24 hours to absorb negative energy.
3. Dispose of the Saltwater Properly
After 24 hours, carefully discard the water outside, preferably in running water like a drain or stream.
Rinse the bowl thoroughly before reusing it.
Serving and Storage Tips
Since this is a cleansing ritual rather than a consumable recipe, no storage is needed. However, for best results:
Perform this cleansing weekly or whenever your home feels energetically heavy.
Use fresh salt and water each time for maximum effectiveness.
