Cleansing your Crystals

 

Cleansing your Crystals

  • Hold them under running water (except those that are water soluble – see below). Boost this process by thinking of the running water as a waterfall that is washing all the negativity out of your crystal and away, down the plughole.
  • Bury them in the ground overnight, but mark the spot well
  • Use other crystals – put a small crystal on top of a quartz or amethyst cluster overnight, or keep a carnelian in with your crystals
  • Use sound vibrations, either tingsha bells, turning forks or sings bowls
  • The power of the moon – leave your crystals overnight bathing in the moonlight
  • Bury them in brown rice overnight, and then throw the rice away
  • Hold over the flame of a candle
  • Hold in smoke from an incense stick
  • Smudge with a feather
  • Sacred Breathe – Blow the negativity away with intention
  • Placing it in a bowl of pot pourri
  • Using a coloured silk you feel will charge the crystals
  • Use your intuition

Charging your Crystals

  • Water can both cleanse and energise at the same time
  • Put them in the garden to bathe in the sun or moonlight, being careful that they will not fade in the sunlight
  • Use sound vibration, tingsha bells, burning forks or singing bowls
  • Place them in a copper pyramid
  • Put them on top of a quartz or amethyst cluster, all those points of energy zapping through them
  • Spray them with essences
  • Physical contact – hold or rub them
  • Use Reiki or other healing energy
