What is your favorite way to cleanse your home of negative energy. 

Salt Bowls! They are super simple, environmentally friendly, and cheap. The negative energy is pulled into the bowl, becoming trapped. Think about it like a cleansing salt bath for the room. 

All you’ll need is a plastic bowl (one you won’t use for anything just for salt bowls) you can use an old Tupperware bowl or grab a plastic bowl from the Dollar Store. Pour salt into the bottom of the bowl; you want to bottom nice and covered, then fill the bowl half full with tap water. Place the bowl in the room needing an energetic reboot, placing it out of the way of children, pets, or anyone who might knock the bowl over. Every 24 hours, you’ll send off the previous days bowl and refill with fresh salt and water. 

How to properly “Send Off” or dump out your used salt bowl.

VERY IMPORTANT – Take extra care to not get any salt or water from the used bowl on you. The negative energy is removed from the room and stored in the water if you splash the water on yourself, you’re getting the negative energy on you. 

Take the used bowl with you to the restroom, as you pour the contents into the toilet recite out loud, “do no harm.” Then flush the toilet, continuing to recite “do no harm” until the contents are flushed away, and freshwater begins filling the toilet bowl. You can rinse away any remaining residue in the sink before refilling. 

We’ve seen salt bowl help with:

  • kiddos nightmares (salt bowls placed under their bed)
  • college dorms (hidden out of sight so the cranky roomie doesn’t notice)
  • events with lots of people (we’ve actually seen the liquid in the bowls turn yellow from negative energy)
  • writers block (bowl placed by the writers desk)
  • living room (where a shadow figure was spotted)

  • Brooke – Scream, Sleepy Hollow, I know What Your Did Last Summer, & Interview With a Vampire
  • Lark – anything and everything Friday the 13th
  • Lo – Lost Boys & Amityville Horror (the remake with Ryan Reynolds)
  • Claire- loves an oldie but a goodie, What Lies Beneath
  • Ford- (is a movie chicken) no favorite scary movie, but she loves Wizard of Oz… the flying monkeys are freaky enough
  • Pru – she likes exactly one creepy movie Poltergeist, but she’d much rather be watching the Princess Bride
