HOW TO: CLEANSING YOUR CRYSTALS

IF YOU WANT TO FIND THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE, THINK IN TERMS OF ENERGY, FREQUENCY AND VIBRATION. - NIKOLA TESLA

Just like everything else, crystals need cleaning too. I know, I know... The last thing you want to do is add something else to your endless list of chores. But its really not THAT bad! As a matter of fact, since we talked about how to cleanse your space in our previous post, this is going to be an easy task for you! I'll give you a few different examples of how to clear your crystals. I have tried all these methods myself. All very easy and simple and you can choose whichever fits you and your schedule the best.

Think about it this way -- a lot of crystals act as place holders for your energy or other peoples energy. These stones are absorbing energy, good AND bad. Would you like to carry all that around? Yeah, I didn't think so! THIS is why its important to cleanse your stones often. Especially, protective stones/crystals whose sole purpose is to absorb negative energy in order to protect you from it. Now, that we know why lets talk about how!

Smoke: A good time to do this would be while you are using smoke to clear unwanted energy from yourself or your space. You may as well take the time to cleanse your crystals, since you are already creating the perfect environment for this. Simply wave the smoke unto and around each stone. Or you can clear them all at once while they are sitting on a shelf or wherever you have them setup. I like to take the time to clean & organize my crystals while I cleanse them. Sometimes while cleansing, I will feel attracted to specific crystals and this is how I know I need to work with that specific crystal and its energy.

Moonlight: I like to do this during a full moon for a better effect. Plus, its a good way to make it a routine. But, you can also do this any night and as often as you'd like. Simply place your crystals outside to charge under the moonlight or you can put them on your window sill while they're in a glass bowl. In the morning they will be ready to use again. Just make sure not to leave them out in the sunlight too long as this can discolor some crystals.

Selenite: Selenite is a clearing crystal. Place whichever crystal you wish to cleanse next to a selenite wand and let sit. I usually let it cleanse overnight. 

Salt: Another easy way to clear your crystals is by putting them in a bowl of salt. Sea salt and pink Himalayan salt are the best to use but use. Cover your crystals with salt, let sit overnight. Dispose of salt outside when done, do not reuse salt.

Water: Like a river, lake, natural spring or ocean. Any body of water can be used due to its cleansing and purifying abilities.

I hope you enjoyed these simple yet effective ways to cleanse you crystals.
