Crystal Cleansing
WAYS TO CLEANSE YOUR CRYSTALS & CRYSTAL JEWELLERY:
There are several ways to cleanse and purify the energy of your crystals, however, you may ask ‘why do I need to cleanse my crystals’? The simple answer is because they can get overloaded, especially after a time of high energy or emotional support, and will need cleansing and purifying from to time to enhance their properties.
At the same time, it is also important to state your intention whilst cleansing your crystals. Simply say or imagine all negative energy leaving your crystal and portray a ray of white light surrounding the stone and filling it with “a bright light of love, life and goodness”.
Smudging:
Many people use this method to cleanse their own space of negative vibes and it can also be used to cleanse your crystals too. It is particularly suitable for jewellery which could, of course, get spoilt if placed in water or soil.
Just burn a stick of Sage and hold your jewellery over the smoke for three to four minutes, until you feel its peace. This method can be used on all of your crystals and, in particular, larger and more ‘difficult to pick up’ crystals. Just use your feather or even your hand and waft the smoke around the crystal.
Returning Your Crystal to Nature:
Place your crystals (wrapping them in a natural cloth, if you wish) on the soil or even burying them in the soil overnight. This is a great way to keep your crystals refreshed and grounded.
Moonlight:
Bathing your crystals in moonlight for a few hours is a most natural and beautiful way to cleanse them, but only use this method during a FULL moon, when there is a dramatic transmission of energy, which makes it an excellent time to cleanse and re-energise your crystals. This method can be carried out in line with the cycle of the moon. However, do try and ensure that your crystals do not get covered in dew.
Sound:
Using a Tingsha, Tuning Fork or even a Bell, just let the sound of your chosen ‘instrument’ surround your crystals, whilst visualising the old energies releasing to the sound waves that you are creating. This can be a pleasurable and fun way of cleansing!
Using Another Crystal:
Quartz and Selenite clusters or geodes have a unique ability to cleanse, re-charge and purify the energy of other crystals. Simply place your crystals either alongside or on top of your Quartz or Selenite either overnight or for a minimum of six hours.
This is a very popular and simple method to use and great for cleansing your crystal jewellery, too. Your crystals and jewellery will then be ready and re-charged to use and wear the following day!
