CLEANSING YOUR CRYSTALS AND HEALING STONES
There are many ways to cleanse and clear
your crystals. These are just a few simple methods;
Cleansing with running water
Make sure the water is not too hot or cold
so that any natural cracks in the stone are not exacerbated by the effect of
the water.
If you live near a river or stream it would be good, other wise tepid tap water
will be just as good. Hold your stone under the water for a few minutes and
while concentrating on it's energy, ask for all negative and unharmonious
vibrations and energies to leave the stone and only those that are beneficial
and positive to stay.
Gently dry your stone with a cotton towel. It is then ready to use.
Smudging with incense
Some healing stones such as Calcite, Selenite
and Dioptase will crumble or cleave on contact with water. With these stones ,
use incense for cleansing.
Sage and cedar (used by Native Americans) and sandalwood are the best, because they
are cleansing substances , although any sandalwood-based incense will suffice.
Surround your stone with the cleansing smoke of a smudge stick or incense
stick, while asking for it to be cleansed of any negative or unharmonious
vibrations and energies.
Placing on a cluster
One easy way of cleansing your stones is to
place them on an amethyst or clear quartz cluster. They can use the cluster
as their permanent home.
Amethyst in particular has cleansing properties. Clear quartz clusters
will assist your stone in building up it's healing energies.
The Sun and Moon
Crystals enjoy sitting in the sunlight
and moonlight. They will be rejuvenated and cleansed.
Remember to keep water-sensitive stones out of the rain. You may wish to place
them in a window which receives much sunlight or moonlight.
Burying in the ground
Bury your stones a couple of inches
below the ground, (remembering where they are). A terminated crystal should
be placed with the point down.
Visualise cleansing and healing energy going into the stone. After
24 hours, unearth your stones. If it feels like it needs more time, rebury it,
keeping an eye on it until it is ready to come out and be used again.
This is a good method to use if you havent managed to cleanse it properly
the other ways. (Do not use this method for water-sensitive stones).
