Why Himalayan Salt Will Unblock Your Chakras
Himalayan salt is a natural rock salt that often has a pinkish tint due to mineral impurities. It can also be found in white, orange, red, and grey. Himalayan salt is beneficial as it has the ability to unblock the spiritual energy centers in the body called chakras and increase vibrations due to its high mineral content even though there is no scientific evidence to prove it. How do I know this? I feel it.
How to USE HIMALAYAN SALT TO open your chakras
HOLD A PIECE OF HIMALAYAN SALT
By holding a piece of rough Himalayan salt in your hand you can release water, toxins, and low vibrational energy. Himalayan salt is a hydrophilic rock salt that attracts water so your hand may get wet as impurities are released. The good news? Increasing your vibration with Himalayan salt will also infuse your body with trace minerals. Over time, using the same piece of rough salt will cause the surface of the salt rock to become smooth but it will not impact the salt’s integrity and ability to open chakras.
Himalayan salt lamps are said to purify the air by attracting water, dust, and pollen. I can’t confirm that claim but can tell you that I ‘feel’ the difference when there are Himalayan salt lamps around me for an extended period of time.
Himalayan salt lamps (salt lamps) come in a variety of colors depending on the vein of salt from where they were mined. The color variety indicates mineral content. For example, dark orange and red Himalayan Salt contains trace amounts of iron oxides that other colors of the salt do not.
Salt lamps typically have rough grainy exteriors that leave a film of salt on your hand when you touch them. Smaller salt lamps are cradled on wooden bases and larger salt lamps stand alone. Both types have hollow cores containing one or more light bulbs that warm the salt when illuminated. The warmed salt emits negative ions into the air to counteract positive ions from electronic devices. Unfortunately, there’s no scientific evidence to prove this, all I can say is that I can feel the difference and love having them on my desk while I’m working on my computer!
I LOVE salt spas and could easily spend an hour or more sitting in a room made entirely of Himalayan crystal mineral salt. The naturally high vibration or energetic frequency of a salt spa room helps release low vibrational energy from the spiritual energy points of the body called chakras, and… from the whole energy field.
A Salt spa experience is refreshing and tiring as water, toxins, and low vibrational energy are released from the body.
Himalayan salt candle holders are pretty to look at, inexpensive to purchase, and easy to find. They work on the same principle as Himalayan salt lamps where negative ions are said to be emitted into the air as the Himalayan salt is heated. Himalayan salt candle holders use candles as heat sources rather than light bulbs.
FOOT DETOXIFICATION WITH HIMALAYAN SALT BLOCKS
Blocks of Himalayan salt are often used for cooking steaks, seafood, and vegetables. What if you used them to detoxify your feet instead? The same hydrophilic principle applies as when Himalayan rock salt is held in the hand. The salt block attracts water so your feet may get wet as impurities are released from your body. The difference is that for foot detoxification, salt mineral blocks are warmed slightly to activate the negative ion release process.
How to do it? It depends on the type of Himalayan salt used for foot detoxification. If you’re using salt blocks, warm them in an oven on low heat for about 10 minutes. When they’re removed, lay them on a towel and gently place feet on top of the salt block. As the salt is hydrophilic as mentioned above, it will draw water, toxins, and low vibrational energy from your body, cleansing and healing your chakras. One caution with warming Himalayan salt blocks in an oven is to ensure they are NOT overheated, or you may burn yourself!
A safer option for foot detoxification is to use a Himalayan Salt Foot Detox Lamp like the one shown below.
Using Himalayan Salt in the bath allows its stored vibrational energy to be released and absorbed into the physical body for detoxification, and into the energetic body for unblocking chakras. It’s believed that the unique cellular structure of the salt crystal allows it to store vibrational energy from its source deep in the Himalayan Salt mines where there is no exposure to toxins or pollutants.
Himalayan salt has the capacity to balance chakras due to its naturally high vibration. Frequent use of salt lamps, candle holders, and salt blocks can leave your body and space feeling clear and refreshed. Visiting a salt spa will clear low vibrational energy from your chakras as long as you drink lots of water to facilitate the release process. Cooking with Himalayan salt will provide extra minerals in your diet and help balance electrolytes but will not necessarily help you unblock your chakras, but bathing in it will!
