The Feng Shui Salt Water

Cure Helps Remove

Negative Energy
The feng shui salt water cure is a popular feng shui cure used to neutralize the
potentially negative effects of challenging feng shui annual stars in a home or office.
This feng shui cure is usually used for feng shui star #2 and star #5 (some feng shui
practitioners also use it for star #3). As each of these negative feng shui stars are of
a feng shui element that is weaker than metal - #2 and #5 are earth, while #3 is wood a strong metal cure is used to weaken their energies, thus their negative effects.
Be sure to understand the annual stars feng shui info, as well as the basics of the flying
star school of feng shui, as this will give you a better feel for the use of the salt water
cure.
Basically, if in any given year these inauspicious stars - #2, #3, or #5 - are located
in your bedroom, your kitchen, your living room or your front door (as well as any other
areas you spend a lot of time in, such as the home office, for example), then you can
use the salt water feng shui cure to negate the bad energy.

However, if these stars are located in an area with a closet, a bathroom, a storage area,
or just an empty, unused space in your home or office, then you might not need to apply
the feng shui salt water cure.

In order to avoid confusion, it is important to understand that this cure is used by
theFlying Star school of feng shui which calculates the yearly movements of the
beneficial and not so beneficial feng shui energies (stars).

This cure is rarely used by other feng shui schools.

However, as with any other popular cure, understanding its essence is a big part of
achieving success with feng shui. So, why is the salt water cure considered powerful?
Salt is an ancient mineral with precious properties, including strong cleansing
properties, and it has been used in various cleansing rituals since very old times. Salt is
also used in various body purification treatments and massages, as it has the ability to
absorb the negative, dull, low energies, thus leaving the energy fresh and pure.
In simple terms, the salt water feng shui cure combines the strong purifying effects of
salt and water combined with the chemical reaction between metal and salt (as you will
see, the metal element is present in this cure with the use of Chinese coins.)
Salt that is used for purification is not to be consumed; and in feng shui this cure is
discarded after a specific amount of time, usually after one lunar year. A new salt water
cure is usually placed in a home or office before the Chinese New Year.
The look of this feng shui cure will change in time, especially if there is a lot of negative
energy in the space. The container will have a build-up of salt crystals overflowing its
edges, in some cases quite a thick build-up, so many people change this cure more
than once a year.
If you are interested in the salt water feng shui cure, and feel that your home might
benefit from it, here are the basic instructions for creating and using one.

Items You Need for the Salt Water Cure

Here are the items you need to make your own salt water cure:
- Salt (ideally high quality rock salt)
- One Container (glass, porcelain or metal)
- 6 Chinese Coins (made from brass)
- Water (to fill 3/4 of your chosen container)
- A protective mat, or a stand.

Step By Step Instructions

Step #1. Fill your chosen container with salt up to 3/4 of its capacity.
Step #2. Place the 6 Chinese coins on top of the salt; the coins should be placed with
the Yang side up (the side with the four Chinese characters).
Step #3. Add water to fill the container to the top.
Step #4. Place the container on a protective mat, or on a stand in the home area where you most
need it.
Step #5. The salt water cure container should be left open, so be sure not to cover it or place it in
a covered space, such as a kitchen cupboard, for example.

Tips for the Best Placement of Your Feng Shui

Salt Water Cure

Place your salt water cure in an area where you know the container will be safe, meaning it will
not be tipped over, moved or otherwise tampered with. Usually a room corner works well.
If you do not like the look of the salt water cure (it will change even more in time); be sure to
place it behind a decor object so that your feng shui cure is not visible. For example, you can
have your salt water cure behind the sofa, a screen or a big lush plant.
You should be able to have easy access to your salt water cure in order to add water as needed.

When and How To Dispose Your Salt Water

Cure

Because the feng shui salt water cure will absorb and accumulate a lot of negative energy, care
should be taken with its disposal. Do not cleanse the bowl and the coins, but rather properly
discard the whole cure.
In some homes this cure needs to be replaced every couple of months, and in other homes just
once or twice a year is enough. Keep an eye on your salt water cure, and it if looks like it has
done a lot of work (like the one pictured above), then replace it with a new one.
Traditionally, the Chinese New Year is always the time to place a new salt water cure, or to
replace the existing one.

The Use of Your Salt Water Cure

The feng shui salt water cure is usually used in tandem with other metal cures, because the ill
effects of the annual feng shui stars #2, #3 and #5 are destroyed by metal. So, feng shui cures
such as a 6 hollow metal rod wind chime, a metal Wu Lou (Chinese gourd) or metal bowls are
often used in addition to the salt water cure in order to achieve best results.
The use of number 6 - as in the number of Chinese coins for the salt water cure, as well as the
number of metal rods in the wind chime - is based on the fact that in feng shui, 6 is considered to
be a number with a strong metal essence.
If you look at the feng shui bagua with the I Ching trigrams on it, you will see number 6 in the
Chi'en trigram, a metal feng shui element trigram.
So this is all you need to know in order to create (and benefit from!) the feng shui salt water
cure! It is easy to make and it does work wonders, just take good care of it.
