I really wish the producers and a chef on The Early Show this am would have done some research before informing the public that there is no difference between table salt and sea salt!!! On The Early Show, a well know chef shows a taste test between salt and sea salt this am. When people can’t taste the difference, he informs the public that there is really no difference except in texture and that one is from the sea. FYI, Table salt has a stronger flavour then sea salt. Table salt is definitely a flavour enhancer. A little research would have informed him that most common table salt is made up of chemicals that pollute your body and wreak havoc on your health. Your table salt is actually 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals such as moisture absorbents, and iodine. Dried at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, the excessive heat alters the natural chemical structure of the salt causing the potential for a myriad of health problems in your body.
What remains after typical salt is “chemically cleaned” is sodium chloride – an unnatural chemical form of salt that your body recognizes as something completely foreign. Inorganic sodium chloride upsets your fluid balance and constantly overburdens your elimination systems, which can impair your health.
For every gram of sodium chloride that your body cannot get rid of, your body uses twenty-three times the amount of cell water to neutralize the salt. Eating common table salt causes excess fluid in your body tissue, which can contribute to:
* Unsightly cellulite
* Rheumatism, arthritis and gout
* Kidney and gall bladder stones
When you consider that the average person consumes 4,000 to 6,000 mg of sodium chloride each day, and heavy users can ingest as much as 10,000 mg in a day, it is clear that this is a serious and pervasive issue.
Sea salt is harvested ecologically from a pristine clean shore and dried without artificial heat. All of the trace minerals found in nature’s own salt have been left undisturbed and in delicate balance. Unlike table salt, white sea salt crystals (also refined), and unrefined salt from refineries or ancient seabeds, chemically resembles almost exactly amniotic fluid, the ‘mini-ocean’ for the human fetus.
Sea salt is cultivated and harvested without synthetic chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and packed under pharmaceutical conditions.
Table Salt Vs. Sea Salt
Besides the difference in the manufacturing process, sea salt and table salt differ in the following ways:
* While sodium and chlorine are the only minerals contained in table salt, sea salt has other minerals like iron, sulfur, and magnesium naturally present in them. This increases the nutritive value of sea salt as compared to table salt. The various minerals present in sea salt helps us to maintain a healthy balance of the various electrolytes in the body.
* The refining process of table salt strips it of all of its minerals, other than sodium and chloride. This makes it an unnatural substance as compared to sea salt, and contributes to high blood pressure, heart and kidney diseases. On the other hand, health benefits of sea salt include, inducing proper sleep, promoting efficient working of the liver, kidneys and the adrenal glands. Sea salts also boost the immune system of the body and don’t cause high blood pressure like refined table salt.
* Although, due to the higher mineral content, sea salt may be considered to be a healthier choice than table salt, it has its own drawbacks. One major disadvantage of sea salt is that it is a poor source of iodine. The iodine that is added during the refining process of table salt makes it a better source of iodine than sea salt.
* Another health concern that sea salt raises, is the fact that it is obtained from sea water that contains several impurities. The sea water is neither boiled nor treated, as that would make it lose the minerals that gives it all its nutritive value.
* Table salt is fine, white crystals. Sea salt on the other hand may have a slight grayish color if they are from the coastal areas of France or may pinkish hue if it came from some other exotic locale. It may be coarse or fine grained.
* Due to the presence of many minerals, sea salt is not as ‘salty’ as table salt. It may be slightly flavored.
Himalayan Salt
I use the Crystal Salt from the Himalayas because it does not burden your body as other salts do. It is very difficult for your body to absorb too much crystal salt since there are powerful and effective feedback loops that regulate this process. Natural crystal salt always promotes a healthy balance and does not contribute to high blood pressure like typical table salt.
Crystal Salt’s array of elements forms a compound in which each molecule is inter-connected. The connectedness allows the vibrational component of the 84 trace elements present in the salt to be in harmony with each other and adds to the ability to promote a healthy balance. When it comes to the power of natural salt, nothing compares to Himalayan Crystal Salt.
The salt’s unique structure also stores vibrational energy. All the crystal salt’s inherent minerals and trace elements are available in colloidal form — meaning they are so small your cells can readily absorb them.
​
I’d say that informing the public on a new program that sodium chloride is the same as sea salt was a huge disservice, wouldn’t you?
 

Crystal energy grids offer a most puzzling phenomenon. A very large Source of energy can be produced, apparently from nowhere. This energy can be locked into any area you want. It will cause energy changes in any object within the field. Crystal grids can be used for a wide variety of purposes. They can charge objects with life-force energy. They can be used to create powerful emotional changes in anyone who comes into the area. This includes using them for conscious dream work during sleep. Last, but not least, they can be used for absent healing. Charging Crystal grids can be used to charge an object or an area with life-force energy. Any object within these grids will have its energy increased. It will absorb and retain a large amount of life-force energy. This energy can be passed on to you or any other living biological form.
1. Clothing: Your clothes are the nearest thing to your skin. Synthetic clothes weaken your energy field; natural fabrics complement you. Both types of fabrics can be charged in crystal grid fields. Charging can overcome the detrimental effects of synthetics. Set up a grid under your dresser or chest of drawers, and another one by your closet. Most material objects do not block the energizing effect. It will go right through the wood in your dresser.
Charging is especially beneficial for athletes. Runners and others in movement sports should charge their shoes by putting them in an energy grid. Most of the meridians of the body exit at the feet. Charging your shoes will offer a new source of energy to all the organs and cell areas at the other end of those meridians. It will offer the feet more energy to combat the great amount of stress they will suffer during their sport.
2. Crystals: All your crystals and jewelry should be kept in a crystal grid field. This will clear them of negative emotions and charge them with energy you can use when you have them with you.
3. Food: Any food placed in the grid will be charged, even through the container. Canned or bottled, packaged or boxed, in bags or bowls, whatever container you have, any food within them will become charged and retain that charge until you use it.
4. Linens: Sheets, pillowcases, and towels should be charged. Put a crystal energy grid in your linen closet. It is a very good feeling to dry off with a charged towel. Imagine sleeping between charged sheets. The extra energy may make your nightlife more interesting.
5. Plants: All your houseplants can benefit from grid systems. Placing a plant in a grid fields does wonders for sick or weak plants. Using charged water for them really makes them happy. Try feeding one plant with charged nutrient or fertilizer and charged water. Do nothing different with a similar-plant. Check the difference, if any, at the end of 30 days.
6. Water: Place a jug of water within the activated grid for 24 hours. A dowsing rod will measure an increase in the energy field of the water from one foot to 20 feet or more. Use this water for drinking, cooking, watering your plants, or drinking water for your pets. Either a four or a six-sided grid will work.
7 Whole areas can be charged. The areas can be as small as jewelry box or as large as a farm.
8. Autos: You can grid your cars in several ways. The overall vehicle, the interior, and your driver’s seat. You may experience increased efficiency with your car. You will certainly be less fatigued while driving. There will be a corresponding lift in your emotional state. The shape of the car will determine the shape of the grid.
9. Beds: Girding your bed can increase your body’s ability or rebuild itself and recharge your cell’s batteries. You should not need as much sleep. It can also change your dreaming. We recommend a six-sided grid for the bed.
10. Building Foundations: An entire building or groups of buildings can be crystal girded by putting the crystals in the foundations. This creates a permanent energy field around the whole structure. To date, we have girded houses, an apartment building, an office building, a shopping center and an ashram.
11. Gardens: Entire garden areas can be girded, or even entire farms. Hydroponics buildings are especially suited to this process. In all cases, the plants will benefit. The type of area will determine the type of grid to be used.
12. Pets: Grid your pet’s cage, bed, or house. It will be a marvelous treat for them. They will love you for it. You should notice a definite decrease in trips to the veterinarian and an overall increase in their health. Their wounds will heal faster.
13. Rooms: Any room can be ridded and the energy enhanced. Thought forms, imbedded in the grid, can cause emotional changes. Waiting rooms and therapy rooms can accelerate emotional healing processes. Hospital rooms are the best candidates for this type of girding. All hospital rooms, especially emergency areas, are filled with the emotional trauma of sick and hurting people. All their thoughts and feelings are negative, and this negativity permeates the walls and fabrics within the rooms. Any negative emotional field will weaken the biological energy field of anyone who comes within the area. This is a major stress factor for nurses and doctors, as well as patients.
​14. Treatment Tables: Crystal energy grid fields can be attached to treatment tables to enhance massage, shiatsu, Jin shin, polarity therapy, chiropractic and other body and energy manipulation processes.
For our healing purposes, we use only two of many different crystal energy grid fields. We use a four-sided and a six-sided grid. The four-sided crystal grid pattern emulates a pyramid. It creates a simple field of pure bio-energy. Anything within this field will absorb and store or use this energy. The six-sided gird is a little more complex. It is used to create and hold emotionally charged thought forms within a specific area. It is also our first choice for absent-healing. It is the most stable grid field and connects you to the natural forces of Mother Earth

Manifestation is a process of bringing your ideas, concepts, visions and dreams from your inner world into your outer world. Bringing them into physical reality. You manifest things naturally and automatically all the time, using thoughts and feelings to create your desires. You may remember manifesting small things in your life and the feeling you had when you realized that you indeed created or manifested it. Now think bigger, because there is no limit to what you can create!
By linking with the unlimited potential within your soul and by opening your connection to higher forces you become and are the source of your abundance, love, joy, well being and money. Having money and other desires is not as important as mastering the process of creating them.
Thought is the first process in manifestation. You’ve probably heard the term, you become what you think about. Your thoughts are like magnets that attract the substances and create a world that match them. Everything and everyone around you was a thought before it existed in your reality. Cars, homes, roads, and cities all existed as thought forms in someone’s mind before they became realities.
Your thoughts set up the structure of what you create and your emotions energize those thoughts to propel them from your inner world to your outer world. Intention acts as a director for your thoughts and emotions, assisting you to maintaining a focus on what you desire until you receive it.
Visualization
Visualizing is using your imagination to picture what your desire in advance of receiving it. The more real your pictures, the more easily you can create them. Your imagination is a powerful energetic tool that assists you in the manifestation process all the time.
Not everyone can see a mental image of what they are thinking about, if this is the case for you, don’t worry. You can feel it, have a sense of it or simply just think about it. All these techniques are classified as visualization in manifesting. You will notice that visualizing gets easier with practice and soon you may begin to see clear mental pictures in your mind.
Here are a few techniques that will help you learn to visualize:
1. Find a comfortable sitting position, which you can hold for 10-15 minutes.
2. Close your eyes and focus on your breath.
3. Relax your body, think of a time when you experienced inner peace, and bring that feeling into your body now.
4. Open your eyes, pick up an object that you’d like to work with. Notice its colour, shape, size, weight, feel, texture, and as many other details as you can. Now put it down, hold your hands in the same position they were in, close your eyes and try to recreate the image in your mind in as much detail as possible. After a moment or two open your eyes.
5. With your eyes closed, think of a room in your home. How do you think of it? Do you see it as though you were looking at a movie screen, or do you feel yourself standing in the room looking around? Is it in colour? Recall this image or feeling of the room as vividly as you can for a moment or two then let if fade away.
6. Now think of a small object that you desire to have but don’t yet. For this exercise, choose something you have seen before. (i.e., a book, a candle, a dress, a piece of furniture) How does it feel? What colour and shape is it? How does it feel to have it? What is the texture of it? Slowly let this image go.
7. Try one more thing, this time make it a bigger item, like a car or house. Let your imagination take you on a journey for a few moments and when you feel complete, calm and relaxed, open your eyes.
I suggest you practice these techniques until you feel comfortable with all of them. Here are a few questions to ask yourself with regards to visualizing.
Do you sense them?
Are they in colour?
Can you feel the textures?
Do you think about it but not see it in your mind?
Do you see yourself in the picture or are you watching it on a screen?
How clear are they?
Can you feel the emotions that you may relate to having these things?
