SALT WATER CURE REVISITED




I did a post about the salt water cure last year and am doing another post on it since Spring made some enquiries about it.

WHERE TO USE THE SALT WATER CURE

The Salt Water Cure is used to combat the #5 and #2 stars. In 2009, the 5 Yellow is in the North and the Illness Star 2 is in the West. So, these are the two places to place them.
In traditional Feng Shui you do not have to cure every part of the home, if your #2 or #5 star fall in a bathroom, cloakroom, utility or any other less important room you do not really need a salt cure. If it falls in a bedroom, lounge, office or other room that you spend time in you need to set a cure up.


WHAT TYPE OF SALT TO USE
Normal table salt would do but you can also use rock salt if you prefer.

HOW MANY I-CHING COINS TO USE
6 Chinese Emperor or I-Ching coins are used because six is the Trigram for Chi'en and this is a metal element and weakens the negative earth of the #5 & #2 stars.

WHAT SIZE OF GLASS CONTAINER TO USE
A normal size pint glass or container around 750cl in volume.

HOW TO SET UP A SALT WATER CURE

  1. Fill up a glass jar; with table or rock salt to about three quarters full.

  2. Place six coins on top of the salt in a circle. Make sure the coins are Yang side up; this is the side with the four Chinese characters. Don't worry if the coins sink into the salt as you pour the water.
  3. Fill the jar to the top with tap water. It would be a good idea to place a mat under the jar to protect furniture or flooring.

  4. The jar will form crystals over time; this shows that it is working to absorb the negative energy.

  5. Make sure the water is always topped up.

  6. Do not cover the top of glass/container.

The salt water cure should not be placed in a cupboard.
Try not to touch or move the jar too much as it stores a lot of negative energy.
Remember to place a sizeable mat under the jar / bowl of the salt solution to protect the table that it is on, because in time, the solution will absorb the negative energy and will crystallise around the top of the jar. If the energy is severe, it might spread all around the surface of the furniture. You may wipe around the surface of the table, but do not touch the rim of the jar / bowl at all.


HOW TO DISPOSE OF OLD SALT WATER CURE

At the end of each Chinese New Year you should throw your old coins, glass and water/salt away. Because they store so much negative energy it is best to place the whole glass into an old Tupperware type container and seal the top and throw straight into the bin. If you do not have a container pour the water down an outside drain (one at the back of house that leads away from the building) and place the salt/glass and coins into a plastic bag and place in bin. Do not recycle the coins or container, you will be guaranteed bad luck if you do so.
