Hello my darlings and welcome.
Today I'm going to make a salt bowl for grounding and protection.
Let's do some magical crafting.
The salt bowl I'm making today is going to be used for grounding and protection, and I'll place it at
the entryway of my home near my front door. This way I can place my fingers into the salt when I
return home from a stressful day, and immediately connect with the earth and feel more grounded.
I'm going to show you two different methods to cleanse your bowl. The first method uses
the element of fire. You can pass your bowl through the flame of a candle to cleanse it.
Another method uses the element of air. You can
smudge your bowl in the smoke of incense or a smudge stick.
I chose all of the ingredients that I'm putting in my bowl for the protective and grounding
qualities, but remember that you can change the ingredients to suit your intentions and desires.
Coarse sea salt is used for protection and purification. You can start your bowl with
any kind of salt you prefer. From table salt to Epsom salt;
to pink Himalayan salt, or anything in between - use what you have in your home.
There are so many stones for protection and grounding. The stones I chose are black
tourmaline, hematite, and Jasper. These three stones are all powerful for grounding energy,
but you can choose stones that have special meanings or significance for your salt bowl.
Black tourmaline can purify your mind and your aura of negative thoughts and anxiety.
It's a powerful grounding stone helping you to get out of your head and into your body.
It helps people feel connected to the earth and have a sense of being at home
in your body and on the planet. It can be placed near entryways for protection.
Hematite is the most powerful gemstone to use for grounding. It can help you clear
away confusion and orient you towards practical action in the real world. It
brings the energy of higher consciousness down through the chakras to your root,
and helps you transform that energy into physical reality.
There are dozens of types of jasper which each have unique
properties. I've chosen picture jasper. In general, jaspers all share the property
of connecting you with earth energy, and have a grounding and stabilizing effect.
Jaspers harmonize well together, as well as with other quartz. Jaspers
are gentle to work with and tend to be nourishing, grounding, and strengthening.
Rosemary has been used for cleansing and purifying since ancient times. I'm adding fresh rosemary to
my salt bowl because I have a rosemary bush in my front yard, but you can use dried herbs as well.
I'm also adding rosemary essential oil to the salt to give the bowl an extra
burst of herbal aroma to greet me when I come in my front door.
I'm also adding cedar to my bowl. Cedar is used to cleanse, heal,
and protect. Cedar at the entry door drives away negative influences and evil spirits.
It has an earthy aroma that gives a sense of security. It's calming, purifying, and grounding.
And with that my salt bowl is complete. I'll place it at the entryway of my home
near my front door to add protection, and when I return home from a stressful
day I can immediately connect with the earth and feel more grounded.
