1) Morijio — small salt mounds at entrances (Japan, very common)
Purpose: block heavy influences at the door and attract clean, respectful energy.
Materials: unrefined sea salt, 2 small saucers/blocks (ideally ceramic), cloth.
When: new moon, start of the month, or after an argument/heavy visit.
Steps:
-
Quickly clean the threshold (sweep + wipe).
-
Shape two small cones (or heaps) of salt (≈ 1 tbsp each) on two saucers.
-
Place them on both sides of the entrance, inside, discreetly.
-
Set a clear intention: “May this salt purify and uplift this home’s energy.”
Frequency & care:
-
Replace the salt every 7–10 days (or sooner if it clumps/yellows).
-
Disposal: throw it in the trash outside the house, or dissolve it outdoors in water that drains away (do not reuse for cooking).
Feng Shui tip:
-
In a shop, add a third small cone behind the cash register to stabilize money energy.
2) Salt-Water Cure (classic Feng Shui to soak up “sick Qi”)
Purpose: absorb stagnant vibrations, especially in “heavy” sectors (e.g., poorly ventilated bedrooms, dark corners).
Materials: new clear glass or jar, sea salt, water, 6 coins (traditionally Chinese coins with a hole; otherwise any 6 clean metal coins), small saucer or coaster.
When: start of the year/season, after renovations or illness, or for 1–3 months in a dense area.
Steps:
-
Set the jar on a saucer. Fill halfway with salt.
-
Place 6 coins on top of the salt (faces up).
-
Slowly pour water to 1–2 cm below the rim.
-
Place the cure where the heaviness is strongest (avoid kitchen/children’s room).
-
Let it act without moving. Salt may crystallize and overflow: that’s normal (it’s “capturing”).
Duration & care:
-
Leave for 1–3 months. Do not touch the crystallizations.
-
If it overflows too much, put a large plate underneath and don’t wipe until replacement time.
Disposal (important):
-
Put jar + contents + coins in a bag, seal it, discard outside (outdoor trash).
-
Do not reuse the coins or the jar.
Feng Shui tip:
-
Avoid placing the cure near sensitive electronics (humidity + salt = corrosion).
3) Salt wash (mopping or wiping) — pan-Asian “basic cleanse”
Purpose: refresh the energetic field of floors and surfaces, “draw down” and expel used Qi.
Materials: bucket, warm water, sea salt (2–3 tbsp), a splash of rice or apple cider vinegar, cloth/mop reserved for the ritual.
When: every new moon, after heavy visitors, during/after a move, or whenever the vibe feels sticky.
Steps:
-
Open windows/doors to create a light cross-breeze.
-
Prepare the water: 2–3 tbsp salt + a splash of vinegar in the bucket.
-
From the back toward the entrance: mop clockwise room by room, as if gathering energy toward the exit.
-
At thresholds, wipe carefully (thresholds “hold” traces).
-
Rinse quickly with clear water if needed (to avoid residue).
Disposal:
-
Dump the water into the toilet/drain, not into a kitchen sink.
-
Rinse the bucket outside if possible. Let it dry in sun/air.
Finishing option (quick):
-
Sprinkle a pinch of salt outside the front door, leave 1 hour, then sweep it outward saying: “All that is heavy leaves now.”
General tips (safety & effectiveness)
-
Salt: prefer sea or rock salt, non-iodized, unscented.
-
Intention & breath: before each ritual, 3 deep breaths + a short, positive intention.
-
Energetic waste: any salt used is final—discard it, don’t recycle.
-
Rhythm: Morijio (weekly), Salt wash (monthly or as needed), Salt-water cure (1–3 months, targeted).
-
Compatibilities: you can follow with incense (sandalwood, benzoin) after the salt, never before.
If you’d like, I can create a printable checklist with a lunar calendar (PDF) for all three rituals.
