What's the buzz with salt rooms?

Salt rooms are becoming all the rage and steadily more and more popular across the United States. So how does it work? Halotherapy is used, which is the breathing in of natural salt air. With so many healing properties such as: treating respiratory conditions (asthma, bronchitis, and allergies), treating skin conditions (dermatitis, acne, eczema and psoriasis), it aids in the reduction of stress and anxiety, helps boost the immune system, kicks the symptoms of the common cold, as well as helps to reduce insomnia. Salt therapy is safe for anyone of all ages.

Dating back to the 1800s, Felix Bochkovsky, a health official from Poland, noticed that the salt mine workers rarely ever showed symptoms from colds or flus or any respiratory or lung issues. He did further investigation and realized that breathing in the salty air was the cause of the positive health spike in the workers. Salt therapy has been commonly used throughout Europe for a while, so it's really no wonder why salt rooms are becoming more known in the United States now.

So what are salt rooms? Natural, unrefined rock salt containing many trace minerals such as magnesium and calcium, covers the walls and floors while you sit back and relax. The salt is also pushed out through vents to assist you breathing in more of the natural goodness. Salt is a natural sterilizer so it helps to clear out toxins and impurities. It also releases negative ions which supports the production of serotonin in the body, talk about natural mood elevator!

What Are Frequencies, Energy, and Vibes?

What Are Frequencies, Energy, and Vibes? In the spiritual and holistic wellness space, we hear words like frequency , energy , and vibes all the time. But what do they actually mean? And more importantly, how do they affect your everyday life? Let’s break it down: Everything Is Energy At the most basic level, everything in the universe, your body, your emotions, your thoughts, the chair you're sitting on, is all made of energy. Quantum physics shows that every particle vibrates at a certain rate. In spiritual terms, we call this your energetic state . Your energy isn’t just physical, it includes your emotional and mental landscape. This is why you can walk into a room and “feel” tension or comfort before anyone even speaks. Your energy communicates faster than your words ever could. What Frequencies Really Are A frequency is the rate at which something vibrates. Think of it like the dial on a radio station, every emotion, thought, and intention has its own “channel” that you can...

Gaining Clarity

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, disconnected, or unsure of what direction to take next. Many people move through life carrying stress, past trauma, self-doubt, and energetic heaviness without realizing how much it clouds their ability to think clearly and trust themselves. As a Reiki practitioner , one of the most beautiful transformations I witness is when someone shifts from confusion and emotional overwhelm into a place of peace, clarity, and inner alignment. What Is Clarity? Clarity is the ability to see yourself, your emotions, and your path with greater understanding and awareness. It’s that feeling of finally being able to take a deep breath and say, “I know what I need,” or “I finally understand why I’ve been feeling this way.” When your energy is heavy or blocked, it can feel difficult to make decisions, trust your intuition, set boundaries, or move forward confidently. Mental fog, emotional exhaustion, anxiety, an...

What is Manifesting?

What Is Manifesting? As a Reiki energy healer, I view manifesting not as “wishful thinking,” but as a conscious energetic practice. Manifesting is the process of aligning your thoughts, emotions/feelings, beliefs, and energy with what you desire, so it can meet you in the physical world. Everything is energy, including your intentions, and when your inner world is clear and aligned, your outer world naturally begins to respond. At its core, manifesting starts with awareness. Your thoughts carry frequency , your emotions give them power, and your beliefs act as the blueprint. When there are energetic blocks, such as fear, self-doubt, unresolved trauma, or a lack of self-worth, they can quietly interfere with what you’re trying to call in. This is why so many people feel like they’re “doing all the right things” but still feel stuck. The energy beneath the intention matters just as much as the intention itself. From an energetic perspective, manifesting is about becoming a match for ...
