Cleansing Your Crystals

 

So cleansing your crystals can be done in so many ways depending on what you feel like works best for you. Just remember to meditate as it helps to feel more grounded to the earth. If you have just got yourself a new crystal then it is important to do the process. Crystals that you buy in a shop or online have been on a journey and you just don't know what types of energy has touched it. When you work with crystals you want to work on a "clean slate" and to take ownership of the energy. I personally like to use the smudging effect, this is where you hold a inscense under the crystal so it gets covered in its cleansing smoke. There are certain incense that you can use. For me I tend to use white sage, it has been used for many years to ward of evil spirits and to rid negative energy around the room. While I do this I put my focus onto the crystal and watch the smoke cloud it, visualising that the smoke is a pure white light killing off anything bad from the crystal; cleaning it. Visualisation is another one that many like to use. When you do this you hold your crystal in your right hand and picture a light or a cloud of smoke covering your crystal making it look clean. Running water can be another, leaving it in the rain, through a running lake or simply under the tap. This is something that you will need to be careful about though as some crystals like Selenite cannot touch water and could be at risk of damage. My sister has used to leave hers in a dish of salt overnight and leave it on the window ledge while the moon shined down on it. There is so many ways of doing your crystal cleansing! So what works best for you? I would love to learn other ways that people do it... feel free to comment below.
