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
