Why cleanse the energy of places — and why do it with salt and water in a glass jar

1) Spaces store what we live through

Every space “remembers” our passages: intense meetings, arguments, illness, stress… All of this leaves a vibrational imprint (heavy atmosphere, fatigue, irritability, trouble focusing). In Feng Shui and many Asian traditions, the Qi (vital breath) must circulate. When it stagnates, quality of life, creativity, and prosperity are affected.

2) Cleansing frees the circulation of Qi

Regular purification helps:

• At home: better sleep, family cohesion, recovery.
• At work: mental clarity, cooperation, decision-making.
  Energy cleansing complements physical hygiene (tidying, airing out). First remove dust, then lighten the subtle atmosphere—as if opening invisible windows.

3) Why salt?

• Tradition: from Japan (morijio) to China, salt is an ancestral purifier.
• Practical properties: salt is hygroscopic (draws moisture) and crystallizes. In rituals, it acts as an absorber of heavy charges; its crystals “trap” what should leave the place.
• Simplicity & neutrality: unscented, non-toxic, inexpensive; it works without overstimulating the space.

4) Why water?

• Transfer medium: water captures and carries. Mixed with salt, it helps dissolve and drain
• Regulation: water tempers excess emotional Fire (tension, anger), useful after conflicts or intense activity.

5) Why a glass jar?

• Transparency = awareness: seeing the process (crystallization, deposits, cloudiness) makes the invisible visible.
• Neutrality: glass doesn’t react like some metals and doesn’t imprint odors.
• Energetic feedback: if the jar crystallizes heavily, it’s an indicator of load. You know when to extend or replace the cure.

6) Expected effects after purification

• Mental clarity: less fog, smoother decisions.
• Mood & sleep: calmer atmosphere, easier falling asleep.
• Relationships: less reactivity, more constructive exchanges.
• Prosperity & creativity: when Qi flows, projects move forward and opportunities present themselves more clearly.

7) The express ritual: the “Salt-Water Cure” (glass jar)

Materials: 1 clear glass jar, unrefined sea salt, water, 6 coins (ideally Chinese coins with a hole; otherwise 6 clean metal coins), 1 saucer.

Steps (5 minutes)

1. Set the jar on the saucer. Fill halfway with salt.
2. Place 6 coins on top of the salt (faces up).
3. Slowly pour water to 1–2 cm below the rim.
4. Place the cure where the vibe feels heaviest (dark corner, tense passage, meeting room).
5. Do not move Let it act for 1–3 months. Crystallization and white “flows” are normal.

Important:

• Keep out of reach of children/pets.
• Avoid near electronics (humidity + salt).
• End of cure: put jar + contents + coins in a sealed bag, discard outside. Do not reuse.

8) Recommended rhythm (simple and sustainable)

• Salt-water jar (cure): 1–3 months in heavy zones; renew as needed.
• Morijio (two small salt mounds at entrances): change weekly.
• Salt wipe-down (mop/tepid water + 2–3 tbsp salt): monthly or after heavy events.
  Always state a clear, positive intention: “May this place become bright, harmonious, and protective for all.”

9) In short

Salt (crystalline structure), water (dissolution and transfer), and glass (neutrality, visibility) form an effective triad: simple, inexpensive, and deeply rooted in Asian practices. Used regularly, it clarifies spaces and supports your health, relationships, and projects.
