Halite is a masterpiece of minerals that dissolves negativity like no other. It reminds us that even the most well-formed things can dissolve in an instant. Halite is a very delicate mineral with energy that is both subtle and intense. It will release whatever is “weighing you down” and, eventually, its ability to release will realign you with a higher, more free vibration.
Halite Forms Quickly, But Requires Perfect Conditions
Halite is a crystallized salt that forms quickly. Though salt forms worldwide, extraordinary conditions are necessary for it to form into crystallized masses. While most minerals take millions of years to form, Halite only takes a few years. If the conditions are not perfect or are interrupted by moisture, the salt will dissolve into nothing.
The color is defined by inclusions, including bacteria, from the location it grows in. The most famous being the range of Pink Halite, which forms in the Trona area of California.
The Energy and Nature of Halite to Dissolve and Release Negativity
The nature of salt is to dissolve and release whatever is "weighing you down." Once the stuck energy is released it then facilitates detoxification. It has a strong pull that encourages us to release stress from our system and there is no need to place it on any specific area of the body as it naturally goes where it is needed.
In addition to releasing stress and tension from the physical body and the environment, Halite finds stored emotion, releases it and stimulates insight into why this location holds specific energies. It then encourages release from the psyche if properly processed.
The nature of salt is to dissolve and Halite is a very effective tool in this manner as it “dissolves” stuck energy. For those who struggle with negative behaviors or limiting patterns of functioning that inhibit personal growth, Halite is here to help. It should be noted that Halite is not an ‘energizing’ stone. It only adds by removal. As one releases an excessive amount of energy, working with energizing stones such as Danburite, Carnelian or Quartz can replenish feelings of being ‘drained.’
Halite Encourages Joy and Non-Attachment
Halite encourages joy and inspires us to find more happiness in life, whether it is in personal relationships or finding their higher calling professionally. It stabilizes and eliminates mood swings by releasing negativity and dissolving the core issue. Halite brings harmony to emotions, whether consciously or unconsciously.
If you often feel attached to things or ‘stuck’ with people or situations, Halite might help. It is an excellent mineral for practicing non-attachment. The inability to let go of something that is not actually as important as it is believed to be can be a burden. For those who unnecessarily hyper-focus or obsess, Halite is helpful.
Using Halite for the Short and Long Term
Halite may be used for either short or long term release of negativity for personal environments or with the body and, eventually, it will train the user to unconsciously release negativity on their own. The body begins to prefer its cleansed state and will start to frequently release negativity on its own. Whether consciously or unconsciously, the body will either stop absorbing negativity or the user learns to avoid situations or people where negativity is present. This type of training is also available with uncrystallized salts, such as Himalayan Rose Salt, if Halite is not available.
When detoxifying a large environment, you may substitute uncrystallized salt as a more cost-effective and environmentally sound option. This would be ideal for an indoor salt cave or meditation/healing room in the home for personal use.
Risks of Using Halite for Detoxification
Detoxifying with salt may seem appealing, however, very sensitive clients may find it overwhelming with long-term use. This is particularly true of cases where extreme abuse is present. In these cases it may better work in small, short bursts and then replenish the body with a more gentle, supportive mineral such as Mangano Calcite.
The dissolving energy of this mineral helps us understand the fleeting nature of humanity and the idea that nothing is as real as it seems. The fragile nature of human existence is an aspect of the duality of life. Halite teaches us not to waste precious time feeling burdened by that which is unnecessary.
