Energy cleansing
It is believed that salt water can absorb negative energies and “cleanse” the space of any burdens that may affect mood and sleep. According to esoteric traditions, salt has purifying properties, and in contact with water, it helps to neutralize energies that may interfere with rest.
Harmony in the environment
The practice of leaving a glass of salt water in the bedroom is used by those who wish to create an atmosphere of peace and balance. Water represents emotions and flow, while salt symbolizes protection and stability, both essential elements for a harmonious space.
Aid in sleep quality
Some people report that this practice improves sleep quality, helping to reduce stress and promote deeper relaxation. The idea is that, by absorbing dense energies, the glass of water and salt can contribute to a lighter environment, allowing for more peaceful rest.
Absorbing moisture and impurities
Beyond spiritual beliefs, salt is also known for its ability to absorb moisture and certain air pollutants. In more humid environments, it helps prevent mold and reduces unwanted odors.
Renewal practice
It’s common for people to replace the water and salt daily or weekly, depending on their beliefs and the need to renew the energy. This habit can also serve as a moment of reflection and self-care, helping to visualize the release of accumulated tensions.
How to perform the ritual
For those interested in trying it, simply fill a glass with water, add a tablespoon of coarse salt, and place it in a corner of the bedroom, out of reach of pets and children. It is recommended to change the water and salt regularly, discarding them with the intent to release accumulated energies.
Although this practice has no scientific backing, it is appreciated by those seeking a simple alternative to improve the room’s ambiance and make sleep more restorative.
