Old Salts…
Salt, NaCl 2 , is a natural by-product of the oceans of Earth. Each grain hold every trace mineral we need. Historically, salt has been used as a percious trade comodity, for cleansing, as poultice or gargle, for seaoning, and as a perservative. Its structure, being crystalline, naturally holds and amplifies energy. Our pituitary gland, blood, and bones are also crystalline, and our tears and sweat are salty. This makes it easy for salt to be absorbed into our biological structure. In the Ascension process (bringing spirit into form), we are biologically changing to a crystalline form which accomodates more light and consciousness even unto our cellular level. Truly, we are the salt of the Earth!
New Salts…
I was guided to work with salt as a base to hold different vibrations in 1997. It started simply, with flower essences and a few crystals under the full moon in a circle of abalone shells. I added some essential oils and used them for bathing and gifts. I liked the effect of cleansing and meditation and then began to find other ways to use them. The guidance got more and more detailed and the combinations began to grow: planetary influences, geographic locations, feathers, shells, stones, Language of Light symbols, sound vibrations, magnetic energy resonance, rain, sun… the list continues to grow today.
Each “batch” has a unique overall vibration. All of the individual frequencies come together and produce a new buzz, much like the instruments of an orchestra produce a great, more magnificent sound. I rarely know at the beginning exactly what the end reslt will be, but the Beings of Light I work with are very clear about when, where, and what I add. Eventually, there is a name, explanation, and an affirmation.
For example, the Vessel Salts started our under a May full moon in the yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. I was guided to put local sea salt in a small shrimp cocktail dish (a similar shape to an ice-cream sundae dish). I added some flower essences and crystals. Then I put it under a coconut palm growing close to the beach. (2 years later this same palm was carried out to sea by a hurricane… just going with the flow of change). The palm was flowering and every morning the little dish was covered with coconut flowers. I was told the salt was absorbing the essence of the flowers (which is related to bringing out relentless flow into all levels of our being, thereby upping th life force and balance).
One night I suddenly woke up and heard, "hurry to the beach right now, and add a spiral shell!" Drat, I was having such a great sleep. Oh well. Out of the hammock, down the stairs, out to the beach, found the shell, added it to the salts with blessings, went back up the stairs, into the hammock, and back to dreamland. The next day, I discovered someone had drawn on the shell with green and red crayola. Horrified, I thought, “UNPURE”. Then I heard "kundalini to heart connection via spiral energy". OK, can't argue with that! Later, after I added a flamingo feather, about 300 of those rose-colored beauties flew over the salts at the sunset. They were telling me about intersection of flow and form through the heart. I was speechless and humble. Three weeks had passed, but this was just the beginning. I was on my way to Abiquiu, New Mexico, for a Solstice Ceremony. "Take the salts" , whispered the wind.
Off we went. The Vessel Salts (I had been told the name) were now in a beautiful white marble container, sitting under a blossoming cochineal cactus on sacred land. The land had gifted me with several small crystals and I was guided to put them on the marble edge encircling the salts. Old Anazasi land. Pure Mother and stars. We did ceremonies and watched the sky glow with summer storms. From there I headed north to give a workshop on transformation. The destination was Lummi Island in the San Juan Islands off the northern coast of Washington. Another time zone, another vessel for the salts. Eagle feathers (including a crown feather), cedar, roses, a full moon and 3 eclipses later, the Vessel Salts were nearly finished. Mercury, then retrograde, went direct. Only then did I learn why these salts, as vibration, were guided to come into form: Flow between time and beyond tme. Flow, from the Maya to the Lummi (the Lummi believe the are related to the Maya and came from the South, not the North). Flow, from the warm salt water with ancient memories, to the desert with Anazasi memories, to the North with it's rich memory. Green lightening in circles filled the air as we danced the closing dance of the workshop, with the salts sitting in the middle of the sacred circle.
Vessel Salts are about infinite flow. They are great to use where energy feels stuck, whether in situations or the land. The Spring Forth Salts are about beginnings of all kinds. They were made in the Spring of 2000 with more than 50 Californian wild flowers. Vibes 2000 assists in the physical changes of the Ascension process. Slicer Salts (I asked so many times about this seemingly harsh name, but was told, ABSOLUTELY, it must be like this) slices through personal illusions, period and amen. Blazing Salts blaze a path throught the dense matrix of the collective consciousness addicted to fear. Gateway Salts were made over a 6 month period and open the Gateway to limitlessness. Made from Mayan salt crystals, these have 3 pages of influences and are scented with essential oil of Lotus – mm-mm good! Peace Salts are exactly what they say: tiny pieces of Peace to sprinkle in any non-peaceful place. Hurricane Salts help find calm in chaos and also assist in the change from electric (spikey) energy to magnetic (rotational) energy. Freedom Salts took nearly 2 years to make and support true law of harmlessness and Freedom of choice to be shining spirit in form.
Persimmons…
I tried several times to write the last part of this article, but the system went down, and I lost the text. After the third time, I said, “Clearly, I am writing something that does not want to be written, but what is it?” Immediately part of my hand-written copy disappeared and I knew the “what” but not the “why”. I had planned to talk about asking or attuning before using the salts, but what I heard was this: like flower essences, the salts are self-adjusting. If, for example, you sprinkle a few grains in the river, and the river doesn't really want that energy, the salts will just be salt. This is an amazing gift of spirit. Regard and respect that the river has consciousness and fluidity and karmic history, and maybe you will hear the river asking,….or not.
The reasoning is this: none of us is here to fix, save, or change that which is outside of ourself. And judgement is just a waste of energy and karma incurring to boot. Rather, release our own stuff, and expand into unconditional love and harmony, thereby serving the greater good. As each person intends to release karma and expand Light, in right relationship with all life, there is a cascade effect throughtout the Universe. Love can be a powerful epidemic and spread. Somewhere, deep long-forgotten memories can be brought to the surface. Service is then easy and loving.
The salts are definitely another tool. Places where there has been deep damage can be assisted to release it and come back to wholeness -both in the Earth and in ourselves- in whatever form that takes. So, where fear, garbage, violence, waste, pollution, degradation, etc, has collected, I have been known to bless and sprinkle. I ask before, because that is my guidance. We all need to listen to our deepest truths and trust them. In my attempt to be serious about asking permission, I reversed the letters and wrote “we must always ask for persimmons”. Spirit and that higher part of me, was trying hard to get my attention and bring in a little levity.
To sum it up, go in peace, with persimmons, and remember, take all of this with a grain of Salt!!
