STRONG AND FREE
Salt
By Serena Kolodka
Deeply inhaling 110 meters underground, sweeter
air I could not have imagined. Traveling through
Poland, my father and I were having the trip of a
lifetime. Dad hadn’t been in Poland since he left at
the age of 16 when his whole family emigrated to Canada some years after
WWII. I had never been and was not really excited to go. Inside that mine that
had been opened in the 13th
century, nothing could have prepared me for all
that was to happen.
Just south of Krakow in the Wieliczka Salt Mine on a cloudy August morning, we
ventured deep into Earth. This was a grounding experience like no other!
Immersed in air laden with salt, I felt like I was under the sea. Floating within the
natural sensory deprivation tank that this salt mine provided, I recognized some
things. Salt has infinite uses. It improves the flavor of almost all our food. It
softens our water and our skin. We scrub our bodies with it to make ourselves
clean. It cleanses our lungs of impurities when we inhale air rich with it. Keeping
salt in your sleeping space draws in impure energy and contains it ensuring
your sleep is restful. Because it is so strongly a part of both the land and sea of
this planet, it is a complete and powerful connector to Earth. Salt is the most
amazing grounding agent.
My understanding of grounding was foggy in the beginning. I did not
comprehend the feeling because I experienced life through my upper chakras.
I was, and remain, in constant contact with my higher-vibrational friends; so I
never knew the feeling of true connection in my lower chakras. In that mine was
the first time I really felt my entire body energetically connected to Earth. Now, I
start every session with grounding. It is a part of my every class because I want
to honor our physical bodies. We are on Earth for our own special missions and
honoring the body with grounding is the best way for me to truly recognize my
body while communicating with higher-vibrational Beings.
I realize that not every person will have the opportunity to stand within an
enormous salt deposit within this pretty planet of ours. I know this experience
was a gift and am so thankful that I got the chance to be reminded of how it
feels to be part of Earth. Being truly grounded allows our energy to flow like
water through our bodies. It allows us to be present as we enter into energetic
practices. Salt is a perfect connector and reminder of both Earth’s land and
water. Salt is like a physical representation of the energetic states of Earth.
When we breathe it in, we breathe in purity of air and water. Thank you Salt of
the Earth!
