The Magic of Salt: Unlocking Prosperity and Fortune with Ancient Feng Shui Secrets

Salt in Feng Shui

Salt is an essential seasoning in every household and is considered one of the most precious minerals in the world since ancient times. In the 17th century, the Spanish king dispatched ships to the New World to collect salt in South Texas, serving the needs of the court. In Russia, bread and salt are often presented as a symbol of hospitality.

Besides being a food seasoning, salt is also used to soak and wash vegetables and fruits. In case of a sore throat or a sprained ankle, saline is often prescribed as an effective remedy. During the winter, many people also gargle with warm salt water to disinfect their mouths. In addition, salt has antiseptic and cleansing properties, so it is widely used in daily life.

Salt has long been known as a cleansing agent. Many historical documents prove that salt has been used in purification rituals since ancient times. Especially in Vietnamese cultural beliefs, salt is believed to have the power to ward off evil spirits and absorb negative energy.

The Value of Salt in Feng Shui

Salt plays a special and important role in Feng Shui. It is known for its ability to absorb negative energy, ward off evil spirits, and bring good luck. It also helps to create a positive and auspicious environment by dispelling bad luck and attracting fresh, positive energy into the living space.

Dispelling Evil Spirits

– Placing a bowl of salt to ward off evil spirits for the whole year

To create a bowl of salt that can ward off evil spirits for the entire year, pour salt into a glass bowl or cup to fill about 3/4 of it, and then add six coins arranged in a circle. Note that the Yang side of the coins should face up. It is believed that this bowl of salt will help cleanse negative energy from your living space.

– Sprinkling salt to dispel evil spirits in an old house

When moving into a new place, the energy of the previous owner still lingers. Therefore, sprinkle salt in each room, especially the corners, to absorb the old energy. After about 24 hours, sweep up the salt and throw it away in the trash. This will help dispel evil spirits and bring fresh energy to the house, thereby reducing any unwanted issues left by the previous owner.

– Using a bowl of lemons and salt under the bed

To enhance the ability to ward off evil spirits, you can combine salt with lemons. Place a bowl containing quartered lemons and salt under your bed to help dispel evil spirits and activate good luck. Use 1, 3, or 5 lemons (placed on a plate with an odd number), cut the lemons into quarters without separating them. After sprinkling salt on the lemons and placing them under the bed, remember to throw away the plate after one night. Avoid touching the lemons and salt on the plate directly with your hands.

In addition to warding off bad luck, placing a plate of lemons and salt at the head of the bed or under the bed can also improve sleep quality and promote relaxation. This is because salt has the ability to disinfect the air, while the lemon essential oil helps reduce stress and improve sleep quality.

Attracting Wealth and Improving Health

An effective method to attract wealth is to add a few crystal salt stones to your wallet. This helps create positive energy and continuously attract money to you. Additionally, placing a bowl of salt in the wealth corner (southeast direction) is also beneficial, as it is believed to attract abundant wealth, smooth career sailing, and a steady inflow of money.

Moreover, if you wish to maintain good health, place a bowl of salt in the family sector (east direction). Remember to replace the salt with new salt every two months or so.

You can also enhance the effectiveness of this method by combining salt, water, and coins. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Place salt in a glass jar or bowl until it fills about 3/4 of it.

2. Arrange six coins in a circle on the salt, with the Yang side of the coins facing up.

3. Pour water into the bowl and place it on a cloth in the corner of the house.

Note that the bowl should not be covered for the whole year. Keep the bowl in a well-ventilated area exposed to the air, avoiding enclosed spaces such as cabinets or shelves. After some time, the salt in the bowl may form precipitates that overflow, but you should not touch or move the bowl; leave it in place to retain the accumulated energy. At the end of the year, discard the salt and coins.

Overcoming Bad Luck with Salt

There are many methods to overcome bad luck using salt, and here are a few that you can try:

– Throwing salt over your left shoulder

Take a handful of salt and hold it in your right hand (for women) or left hand (for men). Then, throw the salt over your left shoulder. This action symbolizes leaving bad luck behind.

Note that you should throw it over your left shoulder; if you throw it over the wrong shoulder, you may attract more bad luck.

– Taking a salt bath

Salt baths help eliminate negative emotions and energy, especially after interacting with people who have a negative influence on you. Dissolve seven spoonfuls of salt in water and pour it over your head. This action signifies washing away all the bad luck from your body.

If someone in the family is sick or there is conflict in the household, salt baths can be beneficial. You can soak the salt in the sun for at least four hours before using it.

If you feel mentally or emotionally hurt or want to cleanse your personal energy, take a dip in the sea for seven consecutive days. This will help cleanse your body and aura. If you don’t live near the sea, you can use sea salt in your bathtub and take salt baths for seven consecutive days to support energy cleansing and mental detoxification.

– Energy Cleansing

Due to its dry nature and ability to easily absorb negative energy, salt is effectively used to cleanse and purify objects, helping to eliminate unwanted energies.

– Diamond Energy Cleansing

In reality, precious diamonds are often bought and sold multiple times, especially larger stones used for engagement rings. Diamonds are often removed from their original setting and sold, only to be mounted on other jewelry. This means that the diamond you own may have belonged to someone else, possibly someone going through sadness, financial difficulties, or relationship problems.

It’s important to note that these stones retain vibrations and energy from their surroundings and previous owners. The metal setting of the diamond also helps transmit this energy like an electric current. Therefore, you can use salt to cleanse the diamond of any residual negative energy by soaking it in saltwater for at least a day.

– Cleansing Crystals and Jewelry

Similar to diamonds, when you bring home crystals or other precious stones, you should take steps to remove any residual energy the stones may have absorbed.

When buying jewelry containing stones or crystals, you should soak them in seawater for 24 hours. Some people recommend soaking them for up to a week, but not everyone has the time or opportunity to do so. Therefore, a 24-hour soak is a reasonable option.

Additionally, you can use salt to clean antiques. Place salt in the drawers of antique chests to help absorb old energy and cleanse them.

– Enhancing Luck in Love

Combining lemons and salt has a similar effect to other methods of dispelling negative energy. This helps the homeowner resolve conflicts and strengthen the bond between husband and wife.

For single individuals, the freshness and positivity you exhibit will attract various potential partners, opening up opportunities to find your soulmate. This small Feng Shui tip can help you fulfill your wishes for love and happiness.
