1) Morijio — small salt mounds at entrances (Japan, very common)
Purpose: block heavy influences at the door and attract clean, respectful energy.
Materials: unrefined sea salt, 2 small saucers/blocks (ideally ceramic), cloth.
When: new moon, start of the month, or after an argument/heavy visit.
Steps:
-
Quickly clean the threshold (sweep + wipe).
-
Shape two small cones (or heaps) of salt (≈ 1 tbsp each) on two saucers.
-
Place them on both sides of the entrance, inside, discreetly.
-
Set a clear intention: “May this salt purify and uplift this home’s energy.”
Frequency & care:
-
Replace the salt every 7–10 days (or sooner if it clumps/yellows).
-
Disposal: throw it in the trash outside the house, or dissolve it outdoors in water that drains away (do not reuse for cooking).
Feng Shui tip:
-
In a shop, add a third small cone behind the cash register to stabilize money energy.
2) Salt-Water Cure (classic Feng Shui to soak up “sick Qi”)
Purpose: absorb stagnant vibrations, especially in “heavy” sectors (e.g., poorly ventilated bedrooms, dark corners).
Materials: new clear glass or jar, sea salt, water, 6 coins (traditionally Chinese coins with a hole; otherwise any 6 clean metal coins), small saucer or coaster.
When: start of the year/season, after renovations or illness, or for 1–3 months in a dense area.
Steps:
-
Set the jar on a saucer. Fill halfway with salt.
-
Place 6 coins on top of the salt (faces up).
-
Slowly pour water to 1–2 cm below the rim.
-
Place the cure where the heaviness is strongest (avoid kitchen/children’s room).
-
Let it act without moving. Salt may crystallize and overflow: that’s normal (it’s “capturing”).
Duration & care:
-
Leave for 1–3 months. Do not touch the crystallizations.
-
If it overflows too much, put a large plate underneath and don’t wipe until replacement time.
Disposal (important):
-
Put jar + contents + coins in a bag, seal it, discard outside (outdoor trash).
-
Do not reuse the coins or the jar.
Feng Shui tip:
-
Avoid placing the cure near sensitive electronics (humidity + salt = corrosion).
3) Salt wash (mopping or wiping) — pan-Asian “basic cleanse”
Purpose: refresh the energetic field of floors and surfaces, “draw down” and expel used Qi.
Materials: bucket, warm water, sea salt (2–3 tbsp), a splash of rice or apple cider vinegar, cloth/mop reserved for the ritual.
When: every new moon, after heavy visitors, during/after a move, or whenever the vibe feels sticky.
Steps:
-
Open windows/doors to create a light cross-breeze.
-
Prepare the water: 2–3 tbsp salt + a splash of vinegar in the bucket.
-
From the back toward the entrance: mop clockwise room by room, as if gathering energy toward the exit.
-
At thresholds, wipe carefully (thresholds “hold” traces).
-
Rinse quickly with clear water if needed (to avoid residue).
Disposal:
-
Dump the water into the toilet/drain, not into a kitchen sink.
-
Rinse the bucket outside if possible. Let it dry in sun/air.
Finishing option (quick):
-
Sprinkle a pinch of salt outside the front door, leave 1 hour, then sweep it outward saying: “All that is heavy leaves now.”
General tips (safety & effectiveness)
-
Salt: prefer sea or rock salt, non-iodized, unscented.
-
Intention & breath: before each ritual, 3 deep breaths + a short, positive intention.
-
Energetic waste: any salt used is final—discard it, don’t recycle.
-
Rhythm: Morijio (weekly), Salt wash (monthly or as needed), Salt-water cure (1–3 months, targeted).
-
Compatibilities: you can follow with incense (sandalwood, benzoin) after the salt, never before.
If you’d like, I can create a printable checklist with a lunar calendar (PDF) for all three rituals.

One of the main motivations to employ feng shui is to attract riches, energy, and prosperity.
Why cleanse the energy of places — and why do it with salt and water in a glass jar
1) Spaces store what we live through
Every space “remembers” our passages: intense meetings, arguments, illness, stress… All of this leaves a vibrational imprint (heavy atmosphere, fatigue, irritability, trouble focusing). In Feng Shui and many Asian traditions, the Qi (vital breath) must circulate. When it stagnates, quality of life, creativity, and prosperity are affected.
2) Cleansing frees the circulation of Qi
Regular purification helps:
- At home: better sleep, family cohesion, recovery.
- At work: mental clarity, cooperation, decision-making.
Energy cleansing complements physical hygiene (tidying, airing out). First remove dust, then lighten the subtle atmosphere—as if opening invisible windows.
3) Why salt?
- Tradition: from Japan (morijio) to China, salt is an ancestral purifier.
- Practical properties: salt is hygroscopic (draws moisture) and crystallizes. In rituals, it acts as an absorber of heavy charges; its crystals “trap” what should leave the place.
- Simplicity & neutrality: unscented, non-toxic, inexpensive; it works without overstimulating the space.
4) Why water?
- Transfer medium: water captures and carries. Mixed with salt, it helps dissolve and drain
- Regulation: water tempers excess emotional Fire (tension, anger), useful after conflicts or intense activity.
5) Why a glass jar?
- Transparency = awareness: seeing the process (crystallization, deposits, cloudiness) makes the invisible visible.
- Neutrality: glass doesn’t react like some metals and doesn’t imprint odors.
- Energetic feedback: if the jar crystallizes heavily, it’s an indicator of load. You know when to extend or replace the cure.
6) Expected effects after purification
- Mental clarity: less fog, smoother decisions.
- Mood & sleep: calmer atmosphere, easier falling asleep.
- Relationships: less reactivity, more constructive exchanges.
- Prosperity & creativity: when Qi flows, projects move forward and opportunities present themselves more clearly.
7) The express ritual: the “Salt-Water Cure” (glass jar)
Materials: 1 clear glass jar, unrefined sea salt, water, 6 coins (ideally Chinese coins with a hole; otherwise 6 clean metal coins), 1 saucer.
Steps (5 minutes)
- Set the jar on the saucer. Fill halfway with salt.
- Place 6 coins on top of the salt (faces up).
- Slowly pour water to 1–2 cm below the rim.
- Place the cure where the vibe feels heaviest (dark corner, tense passage, meeting room).
- Do not move Let it act for 1–3 months. Crystallization and white “flows” are normal.
Important:
- Keep out of reach of children/pets.
- Avoid near electronics (humidity + salt).
- End of cure: put jar + contents + coins in a sealed bag, discard outside. Do not reuse.
8) Recommended rhythm (simple and sustainable)
- Salt-water jar (cure): 1–3 months in heavy zones; renew as needed.
- Morijio (two small salt mounds at entrances): change weekly.
- Salt wipe-down (mop/tepid water + 2–3 tbsp salt): monthly or after heavy events.
Always state a clear, positive intention: “May this place become bright, harmonious, and protective for all.”
9) In short
Salt (crystalline structure), water (dissolution and transfer), and glass (neutrality, visibility) form an effective triad: simple, inexpensive, and deeply rooted in Asian practices. Used regularly, it clarifies spaces and supports your health, relationships, and projects.
