Cell Salts: The Being of Health

 

 

About three years ago, we attended a naturopath’s lecture series. I attended very reluctantly I might add and only with the “encouragement” of someone else. That day, I would have preferred to be anywhere else. Very seldom do I attend anything that I do not really wish to attend, so this was quite different for me. I sat among the eager audience, displaying my most “passive aggressive” body-language for the one who encouraged me to attend this workshop with him. I knew that this would be a wasted two hours.

 

I had many projects to begin and finish. I had calls to make, clients to see. I had monthly bills that needed to be paid. I had mentally scheduled teeth cleaning for every canine in the neighborhood, even though we do not have one. No, I was not being a brat!

 

Tom, on the other hand, was taking copious notes, making all the sounds of amazement and agreement an attendee makes when enjoying and agreeing with everything that was being expounded by this guy. He even had the nerve to laugh at the guy’s silly jokes, and look at me with a big smile as though he thought I would be, or should, be laughing.

 

With my bottom lip extended into my lap and the mind chatter detailing how I could seek revenge, suddenly, we heard two words from the mouth of the workshop guy. Cell Salts. Tom and I looked at each other and gave those looks that said, “huh? …. What? ….. and cool!” all at the same time.

 

I quickly, and very unapologetically, jerked the pen and notepad from Tom’s hands and begin to spend the next 15 minutes jotting down as much information as I could. This “lecture guy” had stepped into a phone booth, and a caped masterful teacher opened the door and began channeling from the highest source of the heavens. (Oops! Now the brat in me is showing.)

 

Needless to say, and all joking aside, the information proved to be “magic seeds” that ignited our interest into the study of Cell Salts. This workshop led us to begin searching books, magazines and texts for any information about the topic. Internet searches provided web sites with new and old copies of articles and books that opened our minds to this wonderful information that we were gathering.

 

Next, we began to purchase Cell Salts from local health stores. We became our own “guinea pigs” to see what the effects would be as we started to ingest different salts as recommended in the texts, but not on the bottle labels. We meditated and vibrated potency of different commercial Cell Salt suppliers. We discovered that potency and prana varied greatly among them. As we muscle tested different manufacturers, we discovered that many were not for us.

 

Finally we found a source with which we vibrationally resonated. It became the standard for which all other suppliers were judged. We found that they actually did what the labels said they would do.

 

An interesting observation about our “Cell Salt Journey” is that we continue to discover additional information, and receive personal insights as we study and apply Polarity Therapy energy principles, Medical Astrological documents and basic nutritional theory for the human body.

 

We began by using Dr. George Carey’s Cell Salt theory that he formulated in the early 1900’s. He aligned a particular astrological sign and energetically correlated it with a specific mineral. (See chart from International Energy Currents – Spring/Summer 2006, page 11) By applying the Hermetic Principle of Attraction and Repulsion, we realized that supplementing our astrological mineral with the sign in opposition created additional balance to the body and its systems. An opposite charge establishes a healthy stress relationship between two energies. In Polarity Therapy we are taught that health is established when we find the fulcrum, or place of neutrality, between two points of energy. We decided that two Cell Salts in their opposition set up this energetic relationship. Stress in a balanced combination keeps the body, bones, organs and its systems in health. For example, Pisces (Ferrum Phos) has its opposition in the sign of Virgo (Kali Sulph).

 

Our information gathering evolved to an understanding that this combination provided only half the nutritional information for us. We next incorporated Elemental Principles from Polarity Therapy. We found an opportunity for greater balance and harmonization within the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual structure. An astrological birth sign, i.e., Pisces (Water Element), plus the opposition sign Virgo (Earth Element), plus the two signs that are in square to that birth sign, Gemini (Air Element) and Sagittarius (Fire element) supplies the entire elemental foundation that the body needs. This balance establishes a level of resonance with those same elements outside the body that are in our environment. As without; so within.

 

From a nutritional aspect, we began to study our personal astrological charts and those of friends and clients. We began to employ the idea that the minerals of our birth sign deplete first. Viewing a birth chart, we saw the body’s allocation of resources for nutritional support. When our nutritional needs are met, we possess greater resources to achieve balance in all the other systems and energetic levels of our physical body.

 

Energetic and chemical processes in the body must be free from toxins, free radicals and debris. The cellular intelligence of the body works best in an atmosphere of natural selectivity, freedom and expansion. Restrictive bindings prevent any cell from developing according to its innate, primal intelligence. Birth establishes an energetic and vibrational overlay. This grid establishes the development of our energetic and physical body. It is uniquely ours and it works to allow DNA and cellular development.

 

The mineral Cell Salt Ferrum Phos, which is assigned to Pisces, assists the body in bringing oxygen to every cell of the body. When depleted in the body, the physical response is seen on many different levels of health and wellness. We all know how important oxygen is to our survival. When the cells are denied access to oxygen, that cellular assignment begins to slowly suffocate. Compare that with a person who may have emphysema, pneumonia or some other debilitating lung disorder. Survival is limited to a shortened duration without the ability to bring oxygen into the lungs.

 

When teaching, or meeting with clients, one of the comparisons we like to use is that of Ferrum Phos and a ship’s anchor. The anchor works optimally when it reaches the floor beneath the water, the solid earth. If the anchor does not reach all the way to the earth’s floor, the weight of the anchor then becomes an albatross. It acts to slow the ship and its motion. It creates limitations in the ships ability to do what it was designed to do. We all have a purpose journey and the quicker we find the energetic resources for the “path of least resistance,” our movement and flow through our physical experience is easier. We theorize that Cell Salts facilitate our “smooth sailing” journey.

 

When the anchor does not reach to water’s floor, it creates a “drag” on the system that causes other systems on the ship to work harder to accomplish even simple tasks. In like manner, when the Cell Salt Ferrum Phos does not reach the floor of the body, the cell foundation, its earth connection, a physical and energetic “drag” on the entire body is created.

 

The Cell Salt mineral Ferrum Phos is important nutritionally for everyone. But is seems that those whose astrological charts indicate a Sun sign, moon, several houses, or a twelfth house with Pisces ruling, face possible depletion of the mineral Ferrum Phos. The lack of it can create undue challenges and stress. These people benefit greatly from additional supplements of this Cell Salt.

 

When we remembered that everything in the Universe works according to a relationship of Attraction and Repulsion, it became obvious that we could not merely look at the Sun sign to hold all the nutritional balance and harmonization for the body. We had to look at the sign in opposition, or the challenge sign to a Sun sign. The relationship of these two set up an energetic dance that determines how the body will attract, assimilate and facilitate nutrition for the body’s growth.

 

So, to continue with the example that we started, the challenge sign for Pisces is Virgo. Virgo is the earth, the anchor with which Pisces always attempts to establish a healthy, energetic correlation. We have a ship in the water; we have the water contained by Earth. Even though the ship thrives on the water, it still must have a connection and relationship with the earth.

 

Just what is that connection between the ship, water, and earth? It is the anchor and its chain. It is the mooring straps that protectively lock it in its harbor slip. The heavier the ships, the heavier and greater number of anchors is necessary. The ship needs the water, but it also needs the earth. If the anchor is too light the ship is in constant alert. The passengers and crew must be vigilant to make sure that the boat is always in safety. There is no time to let the guard down. The bowman lookout, or the one in the crow’s nest must always be on “high alert.” “Danger is always present,” is the message sent throughout to all those on the ship. The ship must not run aground.

 

Complacency sets in when the anchor is too heavy. The earth can receive a false signal that safety abounds and that nothing can create harm. An overly heavy anchor can create a prisoner by not allowing the ship the freedom to move beyond its sight and environment. As Dr. Stone said, without motion, there is death.

 

 Another observation that came to us, is that the health of the system is seen not only in the relation of the Sun sign and its opposition, but also to their relationship to the signs in square to them. This formula represents all the elements that the body needs nutritionally to create healthy cells. In actuality the human body needs all twelve minerals to be complete, but that is another article, for another time. That will get into “layering” and for now this information is sufficient.

 

Virgo and Pisces are signs of opposition, challenge signs. They set up a relationship of Attraction and Repulsion. The two signs that are in square with Pisces and Virgo are Gemini and Sagittarius. These two signs also have a relationship of Attraction and Repulsion. This relationship indicates how we work in the physical, in our environment to fortify, support and protect the birth sign and its challenge sign.

 

Continuing with our example, the ship, once it has been established how to balance its relationship with the water and the earth, the energies must be manifested to harness the power of the environment. The Air element can assist to propel the boat to its destination by maneuvering it through open and clear channels. Or, it can toss it on the sharp edges of the rocks on the shore and cause damage. The ship’s captain learns to traverse the waters and its currents by understanding how the Fire Element influences the water and the air to make the voyage more gentle and safe. Since the Fire Element brings the source for physical energy into the ship, it is necessary to use that fuel which supports maximum efficiency. If the ship’s energy is supplied by burning wood, then it will not move efficiently by any other fuel source. The Air and Fire Elements also aid is keeping the water clean and free of debilitating debris. The mission of our physical, emotional and spiritual incarnation is to discover how we harness all the elements to make our journey in our boat safe, efficacious and joyful.

 

Remember, our example is only using one potential astrological quadrant connection. The relationship and application changes depending upon the Sun sign one is born under. If your Sun sign is Aries, or Taurus, your environment relations differ from our example. The important fact to remember is that all elements must be represented. (Chart: Weaving The Body).

 

Health in our physical travel is achieved when all the component parts of the journey are present, in a balanced harmonizing manner. The Cell Salts assist us in creating an energetic and nutritional harmonization and balance in our physical bodies. 

 

With this information revealed to us, through insight, we decided that it was most beneficial for us to begin a Cell Salt regimen that included our personal astrological “cross.” For the person whose Sun sign is Pisces, Ferrum Phos; Kali Sulph (Virgo); Kali Mur (Gemini); and Silica (Sagittarius) are the four nutritional Cell Salt cornerstones to facilitate stronger cellular development. All the elements are represented.

 

We jokingly tell our clients that we each have a cross to bear. The cross becomes unbearable and overly heavy when there is not a balance of the elements and a contraction of the Ether element. Ether Element, that’s right, we have not mentioned that one yet. Where does it fit into our scheme of health building?

 

There is not a Cell Salt designated to the Ether Element. As we know when we study Polarity Therapy, the Ether Element is in all the other elements. Its power is seen when all the other four elements are dancing in harmony. When this happens, the properties of Ether in the other elements are released into an energetic circle that gives rise to the overall balance of Ether.

 

If we are born in Pisces, we explain it as energy from Source projecting down into incarnation to establish a connection with its opposition. In our example, Pisces to Virgo is the vertical beam. Gemini to Sagittarius is the horizontal beam. The cross beam is how we resource our energy environmentally to give support to our vertical beam. As we teach in Polarity Therapy, a fulcrum is established as the vertical beam and cross beam negotiates a balance of Ether.

 

Imagine that all the four points make a perfect square on the ground. Imagine further that each of the points beam a light up into the heaven to a point where each of the four beams meet, creating a perfect pyramid. Now if the perfect square base of the pyramid is truly balanced, the energy of all four balanced elements will like a rocket reflect the energy from below into the heaven. It efficiently lifts to the sky and reflects a returning energy to the Source from whence it came. Our evolution to Source needs to be effortless. Balancing the elements in our physical body assists in this task.

 

But if one of the elements is depleted, it causes an imbalance in the relationship with the other elements. Then, instead of reflecting energy back to Source in a manner of “effortless effort”, the returning energy motion is labored, difficult and creates unhealthy stress. Remember, the stress mechanism is what keeps the planets in their orbits and the whole of nature in balance. Therefore, we need stress in our life. It is natural to have stress. When it is in balance in the body, it expresses wellness at the cellular level. When it is balanced there is ease that evolutes energy back to Source.

 

Cell Salts in this nutritional regiment aid to facilitate healthy stress so that the body and all its systems achieve and maintain wellness. We are all connected to a Source that is greater than we. The entire Universe is established via a beneficial stress mechanism. Each cell of the human body experiences a microcosmic expression projected from a greater universal source. When at our basic level, the cellular level, the foundation is solid, then and only then can we meet the limiting stresses of our environment with more “effortless effort” and greater joy for life.

 

 

We believe the Cell Salts can help to accomplish this very relationship. We have seen people who have had various health challenges find, establish and maintain balance and relief. We have witnessed a greater opening to insight and resolution to physical, emotional and spiritual conflicts. Of course we cannot say that Cell Salts work for everyone in the same way. Polarity Therapy does not work for each individual in the same manner. The root of our challenges is unique, even though we may exhibit the same symptoms. We do think that Cells Salts are another holistic alternative to sustaining individual health and wellness.

 

 “How long do I need to take Cell Salts?” This is a question that many clients ask. We respond by asking them, “How often do you have to eat each day?” Since the Cell Salts are food, we think they are to be taken daily and indefinitely.

 

Maybe these minerals are for you. Maybe they are not. From a nutritional level it is a known fact that most people do not get the beneficial minerals that are needed from the foods eaten due to the depletion of vitamin and minerals in the soil. Therefore, unless your soil is exceptional and potent with prana, or has not been tilled since the Ice Age, Cell Salts can be beneficial for your overall health when taken in a proper assignment. Talk with your healthcare consultant about taking Cell Salts to aid in your nutritional balancing.
