This bad energy can be caused by various factors, such as environmental stressors, emotional turmoil, and interpersonal conflicts.

It can also be a result of physical and mental exhaustion, as well as exposure to negative people and situations.

Negative energy can have a profound impact on a person’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Additionally, it can affect one’s ability to think clearly, make rational decisions, and maintain healthy relationships.

Anywhere the energy feels “off” somehow.

What kind of salt should you use for cleansing energy?

Sea salt, himalayan salt, or even table salt!

If you want the most energetically pure salt then choose sea salt or Himalayan salt.

You can even get it in bulk at most health food stores or even Amazon!

Just keep in mind that you’re going to throw it out once it’s done its job, so don’t buy something so expensive you’ll regret throwing it out.

If you are desperate and need salt NOW and don’t have access to a health food store just buy some table salt!

7 Methods of Removing Negative Energy with Salt

One: Salt Bowls

Salt bowls are exactly what they say they are: bowls of salt. You can place bowls of salt in the corners of rooms, in hallways, in bathrooms – anywhere you want extra cleansing power.

How to use salt bowls:

You don’t need large bowls – small ones will do!

Place them in the room (or throughout your house) for 24-72 hours.

Once the time has passed throw the salt outside in the trash. The salt has absorbed the negative energy so you don’t want to keep it in your home!

Bowls of salt are useful in:

Dark, damp rooms or rooms that no one uses very often.
When your home needs an overall refresh.
When you’re cleaning your home, you can place bowls of salt out during cleaning and then throw them out after a few days.
After your home has been full of a lot of people, visitors, or guests bringing in outside energy.
After arguments to clear the air!
When you’re moving into a new home and want to remove the previous owners’ energy.
In your business or office, to refresh the energy and welcome in new opportunities.

Two: Sprinkles of Salt

If you don’t want to use a bowl of salt, you can sprinkle a little bit of salt in the corner of a room instead!

After you leave it out for a few hours or a few days, vacuum or sweep it up.

Don’t leave it for too long because it will start to break down and cause a big mess.

Also, make sure when you vacuum or sweep it up to throw it outside in the trash immediately.

Sprinkles of salt are useful when:

You want an overall refresh or to do a quick cleanup of energy while cleaning.
Around your front door/front porch or back door/back porch to refresh the energy and protect your home from negative energy

Three: Himalayan Salt Lamps

Himalayan salt lamps aren’t just a bohemian home trend – they are useful too!

Himalayan salt lamps absorb negative energy but they also change the ionic makeup of the air in your room, so they do double duty to change the room’s vibrations.

They are also excellent lamps to use in the evening when you are preparing for bed and want to turn off all of the blue lights in your room and relax!

Himalayan salt lamps are useful for:

Your desk or table while you’re working
Any room where you spend a lot of time and want continuous energy cleansing
Anywhere you like them!
When you want to add light to a feng shui cure, like those for money or romance!

Four: Salt Water Spray

If you don’t want to leave out bowls of salt or you’re worried sprinkling salt might ruin your floors, try a salt water spray!

Put a teaspoon of salt in a spray bottle with filtered or distilled water (usually about 4 ounces of water) and spray around the room you want to refresh.

You can even add a couple of drops of essential oils (lemon, palo santo, or lavender work well to refresh the air energetically and physically!)

Salt water spray is useful for:

Overall room refresh
When you need something quick and fast to change the vibration of a room
Spraying yourself quickly when you need an aura cleanse (spray in the air and quickly walk through the aerosol – don’t spray yourself or your clothes directly)

Five: Salt bath

If your energy feels off or you’ve had a stressful day, you can use a salt bath as an aura cleanse.

Add a cup of sea salt or epsom salt, and a cup of baking soda to your bath and soak for a while.

While you’re soaking in the bath: envision the salt absorbing all of the negative energy in your body.

Then when you leave the tub and drain the water, visualize that negative energy going down the drain.

Salt baths are useful when:

You need an energetic refresh
You’ve been absorbing other people’s problems or feelings
You’ve had an argument with someone
You’ve been ill (or someone around you has been ill) and don’t want it lingering in your energy field

Six: Feng Shui Salt Water Cure

A feng shui salt water cure works similarly to a salt lamp.

It provides continual energy clearing and can be used to refresh your whole space over time and not just for a few days. Click here to learn all about how to create a feng shui salt water cure!

A salt water cure is helpful for:

Refreshing a whole space over time
When you have a lot of energy entering a space continuously – like in offices or businesses
You want longer-term cleansing

Seven: Salt Burning

I love salt burning! Salt burning is a POTENT way of cleansing negative energy with sea salt! It can cleanse a whole home in just a few minutes.

This is a technique I learned from Dana, at the Tao of Dana. Here is a video that explains how to do it:

Salt burning is useful when:

You want to cleanse a large area all at once, like a whole home
You are doing a deep cleanse of your space (or yourself!)
You’re ready to set new intentions
Other energy-clearing techniques haven’t worked well or haven’t lasted

Bonus Method: Salt Wash for Your Front Door

In feng shui, your front door is where fresh energy and new opportunities enter your life.

Your front door is the energetic entrance to your life!

So when you want to welcome in new opportunities, set a new intention, or just refresh your space, a salt wash for your front door is amazing.

Here’s how you do it:

Create a salt wash for your front door with:

A bucket of water, a small amount of dish soap, and a pinch of salt.

You can also add a few drops of citrus essential oils or a teaspoon of lemon juice to attract positive energy and good vibes!

Wipe down your whole door – inside and outside.

You might be surprised at how dirty your door is.

Use the salt wash any time you’re ready to welcome in new opportunities!

You can also use it at the new moon or full moon, or every month or so to refresh your space!

Preparation for Cleansing Negative Energy with Sea Salt

Choose the Right Sea Salt

When it comes to choosing the right sea salt for cleansing negative energy, it’s important to select a high-quality, unrefined sea salt. Look for sea salt that is free of additives and has a high mineral content. Himalayan pink salt is a popular choice due to its high mineral content and beautiful pink color.

Gather Supplies

Before starting the cleansing process, gather all necessary supplies.

Set an Intention

Any time you want to get rid of negative energy in a space, it’s important to set intentions. This can be done through visualization, prayer, or simply stating intentions out loud. Focusing on positive intentions such as peace, love, and harmony will help to enhance the cleansing process and promote a positive energy flow within the space.

Even More Tips for Energy Cleansing with Salt:

To Refresh Your Home or When Moving Into A New Home:

You can sprinkle a little salt all over your carpets or wood floors and vacuum it up.

Leave it for a few minutes (while you clean other things) or overnight if you’d like.

Then vacuum/sweep it up and throw it out.

For double-duty, also place salt bowls out to absorb everything lingering around your home.

You can place one bowl in each room, in hallways, the attic – or just one bowl in the center of your home.

Once you’ve thrown it out, you can also smudge!

Should You Keep Salt In Your Bedroom?

Keeping salt in your bedroom for a day or two can remove stale, stagnant energy and bad vibes.

Use small bowls of salt in the corners of your bedroom or even under the bed to absorb negative energy.

Throw the salt away after 24-48 hours.

Keeping salt in the bedroom is a great way to get rid of negative energy after arguments, illness, or even just insomnia.

If you have a guest bedroom that hasn’t been used for a while, you can even place salt bowls in the room to get it ready for guests!

Sprinkle Salt at the Entrance of Your Home

You can use salt at the entrance of your home by sprinkling it at the base of the front door or entry.

This keeps negative vibes from entering your home.

You can sweep it away after a day or two.

Don’t forget you can also use a salt wash on your front door to make sure the energy is clear too!

Removing Negative Energy in the Workplace

If you are struggling with negative energy in your workplace or office, keeping a small bowl of salt on your desk can absorb it.

Leave the bowl of salt on your desk for 24-48 hours to absorb the negative energy.

Then throw the salt away (outside of your office!)

If you’re worried about someone seeing the bowl of salt on your desk, you can also place the salt bowl underneath your desk or on a shelf behind a picture or plant.

The salt doesn’t have to be visible to absorb negative energy!

You can also smudge your office to remove bad vibes – try a sage spray or smudge spray instead of using a sage wand to make sure it’s fire safe.

Can You Use Salt Alongside Other Energy Cleansing Methods?

Yes! Especially if you have an area where the negative energy is stubborn and won’t leave (or keeps coming back!)

It can be helpful in those cases to combine salt cleansing with other methods like:

smoke cleansing, such as burning sage, palo santo, or incense sticks
sound cleansing, like clapping, using drums, bells, or singing bowls, hanging wind chimes, or playing music
performing a house blessing or meditation, like a golden light or white light meditation
using crystals to remove negative energy, like black tourmaline or black obsidian
and don’t forget to also clean your home thoroughly and open the windows to let in fresh Chi!
