There are many ways to Cleanse your Crystals, below we have listed some of our preferred ways of cleansing.
crystal cleansing using salt and water
Method 1- Salt and Water
- Holding your crystal under running water, visualise the water cleansing all the negative energy away from the crystal.
- Sprinkle and rub Himalayan Pink Salt or Sea Salt over your crystal ensuring you cover it fully.
- Rinse off the salt from your crystal ensuring the crystal is fully clean of any remaining salt. Visualise the water being pure and know that you have now removed all negativity from the crystal.
- Place your crystal outside to rest for 24hrs. This will fully charge your crystal back to its full working potential.
energetic cleansing using incense, for crystals and your home
Method 2- Incense
- Incense is a very simple but effective way of cleansing your crystals. Ideal for those crystals that shouldn't get wet and perfect for those crystals that are just too big to move!
- You can simple set your crystals around a lit incense stick to cleanse several crystals at the same time or place the incense stick next to a larger crystal to cleanse.
- Make sure the crystals are within the incense smoke to ensure a full cleanse is achieved. You can spend a few moments either passing the crystal through the smoke or blow the smoke into the crystal if its a larger piece. You can use smudging feathers for this purpose.
- Allow the incense to fully burn out. For a more intense cleanse you can light a Tealight candle and place this with your incense. Allow this to fully burn out also.
- Lighting an incense stick and allowing it to burn out is also a good way to cleanse a room within your home. Helping to remove any unwanted negativity and replacing it with a balanced positive energy.
