I don't see how the salt isn't useful when it is in its pure form.

Hi Jackie,

I am not a chemist and I may be able to help you from what I have read and learned about salt and the importance of salt.
When water and salt combine, they create a solution and the water evaporates while the salt remains. And if you pay attention, you will see that the problem is not with the salt, but the amount and the condition of the salt we use in our life style.

My question is back to you, ask yourself what’s the metaphor means to you and what profound impact are you hoping to achieve?

Just a reminder, the regular table salt has nothing in common with crystal salt, since now day our salt is sodium chloride, after being chemically cleaned because it does affects the human body in a negative way, when it comes to eating. The common table salt we use for cooking has only 2 or 3 chemical elements. The seawater has 84 chemical elements. This entire means that we are lacking all the good healthy elements for our body. In the common salt, we are in deficit of 81 elements, which is why our body is contributing in becoming weaker, imbalanced and more susceptible to diseases.

Let me know If you have any more questions, or you are ok to work with this Information?

It remands useful in it's new state for an altered form then what it was meant for.

I realize you are looking for a continuation of your metaphor, but when you create a solution with the salt and water, you are returning the salt to it's natural state. When evaporation takes place, the salt is allowed to crystallize, unless it has been contaminated by other minerals.

However; I think for the purposes of your metaphor, the answer would be: Just add more water. Or, use it to season and/or preserve something else.

I hope this helps you
John

In Ellnerian Chemistry -- They say that breaking up is hard to do --

Purified Water + Salt = Salt-Water - the water in the new solution is no longer water and the salt in the solution is no longer salt -- When the water turns to vapor and the salt re-crystalizes they are no longer Salt-Water --
The water-vapor can be useful - The salt can be useful and if we add water to the salt- the salt-water can be useful --

How can we help you reframe your situation?

To add more to the experiment:

Salt in water is corrosive and salt also attracts water.

Fantastic answers! Thank you all for weighing in on what seems a rather silly question. I was in a TimeLine Therapy class this weekend. Saturday we worked through clearing Anger and Sadness from past experiences. Since my sadness is connected with my husband's passing, this was powerful and frightening to face. At the end of the day I was quite unsteady and knowing that Sunday we would be clearing Fear next, I was, well...afraid. Fear compels me to expand my boundaries and "do the thing I think I cannot do." If I clear my fear, how would I motivate myself as effectively?

Much too early after a sleepless night when I was tearfully, fearfully trying to work out how I would get through class, I said without thinking that my marriage has dissolved - which led to my salt/water metaphor (Scott being the vapor, I, the salt). I know that I can be and am useful, but I wanted a concrete image to hold in my mind.

I decided to fake letting go of fear for the purpose of the exercise and the sake of my partner. I forgot to remember that the unconscious doesn't know I'm pretending. It helped considerably. Letting go of guilt is fun -- I highly recommend it!

Thank you for your gifts of insight.

From Jan: an acceptance of what is. From Doreen: It is not the problem with the salt, but the condition of the salt (which summed up my question perfectly! and great ponderable material.) From James: Flexible creativity. From John: a reminder that salt + water returns salt to its natural state (love that!) just add water or use it to season or preserve. From the Dancing Doctor: a smile & a beautiful explanation of blending essences. and from Kelly: salt attracts water = hope.

Much love and healing to you, Jackie. Congratulations on moving forward in such a creative way. The suffering we experience hones our own empathy and wisdom that will, in turn, benefit others. Remember that the joy and love we experience is equally powerful!

Best wishes,

Kelley

Hi Jackie, This helped me and many others in a recent situation.I am standing on the seashore,
A ship sails and spreads her white sails to the morning breeze
And starts for the ocean.
She is an object of beauty and I stand watching her till at last she fades on the horizon, and someone at my side says “ she is gone”.
Gone where?
Gone from my sight that is all.
She is just as large in the masts, hull and spurs, as she was when I saw her,
and just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination.
The diminished size, the total loss of sight is in me not in her, and just at the moment when someone at my side says “She is gone”
There are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up the glad shout.
“here she comes.”
And that is DYING.

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound or foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell;
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

Hello Jackie, Hanging on to your husbands memory keeps your hands raped around you with love, so you can experience the joy as you let go of the sorrow and clear your fear, looking forward to walk as a healer.

If I can be any help to you, please let me know, my arms are always open with comfort.

Respectfully, Doreen Cohanim C.Ht

Hi Jan, Salt is in the form it finds itself. It may be mineral salt or sea salt. And as pure as the salt may be, it is an amalgation of Sodium and Chlorine. Female /Male or Positive or Negative. We seek our opposing Pole to generate energy. Thoughts are often automatic based on perception and context. And things are never as they thy seem. I hope this is helpful.

Regards,

Paul
