Agni Salt

Your Yoga

Agni salt is part of the practice of Agniatma, but it can also be used independently of that practice. Agni salt strongly expresses the properties of the active aspect of Energy, bringing all human functions, both physiological and energetic, into harmony and balance. The consequences include healing diseased organs and tissues, changes to DNA towards development and healing, and balancing the chakras and the human energy structure.

Making agni salt is similar to preparing salt for the Aura Harmoniser, so if you are not yet familiar with that practice, it is advisable to read it first (you can read about the Aura Harmoniser here). The preparation process is slightly different, and I will describe it in detail below using the method most people will find simplest. Other options are given later in this description.

Making Agni Salt

  1. It is best to begin making agni salt in the morning, for example between 8 a.m. and noon.
  2. You will need foil. Any foil will do, such as the kind sold in shops.
  3. Pour about two glasses of dry rock salt into the centre of the foil, as shown in the photograph below. This must be ordinary coarse rock salt from a shop, not sea salt or any other kind.
  4. Wrap the foil very securely, as shown in the photograph below. It is best to wrap the salt in several layers of foil.
  5. Place the foil ball you have made over an open flame. The simplest way is to put it on the supports of a gas hob and turn on the gas. Set the flame to medium: not very high, just an ordinary medium flame.
  6. After the foil ball of salt has been over the open flame for about 10 minutes, turn off the gas and leave the ball for about 10 minutes.
  7. Then turn the gas on again and leave the ball over the burner flame for another 10 minutes.
  8. Repeat this 3 or more times; 3–7 times is quite enough.
  9. This is the first essential procedure for preparing the salt.
  10. Once the salt has cooled, pour it onto a plate and place it in direct sunlight. Mentally ask the Universe to charge this salt for you. Use any words you wish: the words themselves are not what matters, but that the Universe knows what you need. For example, you can say and think: "Universe, please charge this salt for me." It does not matter what vast mechanisms are set in motion or how complex the processes that unfold to fulfil your request. You may or may not know about them; that is unimportant. What matters is simply communicating this wish of yours to the Universe.
  11. Leave the salt in the sunlight for at least 3 hours. You can leave it longer, for example until evening, when the sun sets.
  12. Next, place the plate beside your bed, or wherever you sleep.
  13. When you go to bed, simply think about the salt and continue thinking about it until you fall asleep. If you do not sleep alone, think of this salt as being only for you: your salt, not for the person beside you.
  14. That completes one day.
  15. On the second day, repeat everything. In the morning, wrap the salt in several layers of foil and place it over the open flame of a gas burner, turning the gas on and off at intervals of about 10 minutes, about 3–7 times. Then pour the salt onto a plate, place it in direct sunlight and ask the Universe to charge it. In the evening, put the salt beside your bed. At night, when you go to sleep, think about the salt.
  16. Do this for three days. You may continue longer if you wish, but three days is the required minimum.
  17. After this, the agni salt is ready to use.

You can then use agni salt either for the practice of Agniatma, or for the healing purposes described further down this page.

Notes on Making Agni Salt

  1. You can strengthen agni salt somewhat as follows. After making your first batch, take a fresh portion of salt and carry out all the steps needed to charge it. When the second batch is ready, mix it with the first. Then make a third batch and add it to the previous two. You will have three mixed batches of agni salt, each of which was charged separately.
  2. If you can charge the salt using a campfire in nature or a fire near your own house, this is an advantage. You can place it directly in the flames or on the embers.
  3. You may also make agni salt in an oven or a traditional stove, but never in a microwave or an electric oven. Only a real flame should be used.
  4. If you wish, though it is not essential, you can ask the fire to charge the salt for you with its energy.
  5. You do not have to carry out all three stages of making agni salt in a single day. Some days may be overcast, with the sun hidden behind clouds. This is not a problem; the process will simply take a little longer. For example, you might carry out the fire procedure in the morning, or even at midday or in the evening, charge the salt in the sun the following day, and on the next day, at bedtime, carry out the stage of thinking about the salt as you fall asleep. You may also take breaks of several days.
  6. Do not change the order of the three charging stages. Always begin with fire energy, then solar energy, then the stage of thinking about the salt as you fall asleep.
  7. After the first fire procedures, the salt acquires a characteristic grey tint. This is normal and as it should be: grey is the normal colour of agni salt.
  8. It is best to use dry salt for the fire procedure so that it does not "pop" when heated to a high temperature. This is not essential, however: popping is acceptable and does not detract from the salt's quality.

Now I will tell you about the healing properties of agni salt. By "healing properties", I mean not only the healing of the visible, physical body, but a whole range of beneficial healing effects that arise when agni salt is used. You can make as much agni salt as you wish; there are no limits. Always give preference to a campfire in nature. If you have the opportunity to use one for even a single fire procedure, take it.

Using Agni Salt for Healing

  1. Agni salt can be consumed in place of ordinary salt. This is especially recommended while practising Agniatma, but you may also do so at any other time if you wish. Simply season a salad or any other dish with agni salt as you would with ordinary salt.
  2. Only you may use the agni salt you have made for yourself. Other people must not use it. In other words, if you are making soup for your whole family, adding agni salt made for yourself would be wrong. This salt is for you alone and nobody else. It is very important to remember that it is attuned exclusively to your individual characteristics: your energy, aura, karma, purity of consciousness and so on.

Agni salt works very effectively at the energetic level. Entering the body and literally coming into contact with every cell, it adjusts everything towards harmony, development and healing. Its action is highly individual: it works in accordance with every nuance of your physiology and energy, making adjustments specific to you alone.
