How the salt ritual is usually performed
The ritual of placing salt is far from complex. In fact, people just place a small bowl of coarse salt somewhere in the home. Some common places include: by the front door or at a table near the entryway, near a window where the light can hot the bowl, or in a quiet area such as a corner or a bookshelf.

This bowl of coarse salt isn’t meant as a decor but a “reset button” for the home. Some people prefer the bowl to be ceramic or glass, but it doesn’t really mater because it is the intention that counts.

The bowl should be kept at the place for a few days around the equinox before it’s tossed out as a mean of “clearing the way” for the new season.

Combining this ritual with other small practices
Some people who practice the coarse salt ritual combine it with other small practices, while others believe that the salt itself is enough.

Some of these small practices include:

Opening the windows

Many people associate the theme of freshness with the idea of new energy. Opening the windows to the sunlight and air may symbolize renewal.

Cleaning and organizing

Many people choose to clean their living spaces before the equinox as a symbol of renewal.

Lightning a candle

Many people light a white candle briefly to symbolize the light returning after the winter is gone.

Meditation

Many people opt for meditation to deepen the feeling of mindfulness.

Conclusion
The coming of spring is a time of growth and renewed light after a dark and cold winter.

Putting a bowl of salt in a corner before March 21st is a seemingly small act, but it is a significant one nonetheless. It is an act of letting go of the past and finding your footing to move into the next chapter of your life with a bit more intention.

In a fast-paced world where time is a luxury few people can afford, a small ritual such as this is a rare and precious thing. At times, it is precisely that awareness that is needed to make a new beginning real.
