A quick guide to crystal cleansing 💎
1. Choose Your Cleansing Method:
Water: Rinse the crystal under gently running water (natural spring water is ideal) for a few minutes. Be cautious as some crystals may be damaged by water.
Salt: Place your crystal in a bowl of dry sea salt or Himalayan salt and leave it overnight. Brush off the salt the next day.
Smudging: Pass the crystal through the smoke of burning sage, palo santo, or other cleansing herbs. Allow the smoke to envelop the crystal.
Sunlight: Leave your crystal in direct sunlight for a few hours. Be aware that some stones may fade in prolonged sunlight.
Moonlight: Leave your crystal under the light of a full moon overnight. This is particularly effective for charging as well.
2. Set Your Intention:
While cleansing your crystal, focus on your intention. Visualize any negative energies being released and replaced with positive, pure energy.
3. Use Your Intuition:
Trust your intuition and instincts. Some crystals may respond better to certain cleansing methods, so go with what feels right for the crystal and your connection to it.
4. Regular Cleansing:
It's a good practice to cleanse your crystals regularly, especially if you use them frequently for energy work or healing. How often depends on your intuition and usage but once a month is a common guideline.
Remember that cleansing is about clearing the crystal of any absorbed energies so it can work at its best. With these simple steps, you can keep your crystals energetically fresh and ready to support you in your intentions.
