Personal Purification

A small bowl or dish with salt inside

A small (white) candle

Matches or a lighter

Place the bowl of salt on the table in front of you and sit down. Take the time you need to fully settle and feel yourself in the moment, become mindful of your actions. Light the candle. 

Take a few cleansing breaths and lift your hands before placing them into the bowl of salt. Close your eyes, breathe deeply. As you exhale, visualize any negative energy or the undesired emotion you need to get rid of flowing down your arms and out through your fingers, being absorbed by the salt.

Continue to do this as long as it takes to clear yourself of the unwanted energy or emotion.

Remove your fingers from the salt and open your eyes. Focus on the candle burning on the table. Breathe in and as you do, visualize the warmth and brightness of the flame being drawn into your body, filling it with light and beauty.

Do this until you feel refreshed and calm. Dispose of the salt by dissolving it in water and pouring it down the sink. Don’t forget to extinguish the candle.
