Why Crystal Cleansing is a MUST?
Crystal cleansing refers more than just removing dirt from the stones.
From the perspective of crystals, it also means discharging the unwanted energy of the stones and restoring the unique vibrating energy of the stones.
So perform crystal cleansing on newly purchase stones, after wearing or using them for healing.
You can use any of the following recommended methods to cleanse your crystals.
9 ways to perform crystal cleansing
However, note that water or salt related methods may NOT be suitable for all crystals (ie Halite, selenite, Lapis Lazuli, Malachite and Turquoise, Hermatite, Opal, Pyrite) as they can be damaged by these method.
Enough of my talk.
Here…as promised:
- Soak in Sea Salt - Salt absorbs and removes the negative energy from the crystals and is an effective cleansing agent.
Put the crystals into a container. Use natural rough sea salt to soak the crystals for 24 hours. DO NOT use table salt or those meant for cooking as home salt are chemically processed. Choose to use sea salt instead as they are form by the nature.
Sea salt can be easily purchased from aquariums. After that, rinse the crystals thoroughly with running water. Make sure that the sea salt is totally removed.
Some crystal clusters may be sensitive and fragile towards this method too. Using salt has a possibility of separating them. And some crystals may be set in silver, white gold or gold materials (e.g. pendants, rings etc) or carry metallic properties (such as pyrite) so using salt will damage these materials.
Nonetheless, salt remains an effective cleanser and is one of the widely used methods today.
Running Tap Water – Hold the crystals under running water for 3 to 4 minutes. Suitable for stones that are not friable or are naturally joint. Dry it and then expose it to the open air.
For delicate crystals that are not water soluble, this natural method is the best.
Clear Quartz Cluster - This is a commonly used method and one of my favorite as it cleanses and charges the crystals at the same time. Put the crystals onto the clear quartz cluster and allow the lively energy of the cluster to vibrate against the crystals.
Soil - If you have a garden, you can bury your crystals under the soil. Ground energy can be used to cleanse the crystals.
Smoke – Native Americans traditionally perform crystal cleansing using white sage or sagebrush. Light the sage and allow the crystals to sit in the smoke or pass through it.
Sound – Clear sound vibration are excellent way to cleanse a group of crystals. Put the crystals in a singing bowl, tap and allow the note to resonate through the stones.
Sea / Spring / Lake / Rivers - If you leave near the sea, you can soak the crystals in the sea water for 3 to 4 hours. After that, energize them under the sun. The crystals can resume their vibrant rather quickly using this method. Crystals love to interact with the nature. Likewise, if you live near the flowing rivers, lakes or springs, you can also do the same thing. Make sure that the sea/lake/streams/rivers are not polluted or else you will be contaminating the crystals instead.
Flowers - You can also soak crystals in flowers such as rose petals, carnations etc for 24 hours. The flower essence removes the negativity and cleanses the crystals. And of course, the purity and energy of the flowers will be transmitted to the crystals.
Brown Rice - Do you know how to cleanse crystals using brown rice? Simply buried the crystals in the rice for 24 hours and allow the rice to remove and transforms the negativity to positive energy.
As Confucius once said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." If you are serious of making crystals your personal tool of success, then crystal cleansing is the first single step to take. But prior to this, you need to get a crystal to work on.
For starter, my recommendation is this Tibetan Quartz Natural Point. Go invest in one. Remember, nothing change till you take action.
