Cleansing your crystal

Your crystal has traveled from the earth, to those who have discovered, packaged, shipped and cared for them. I love to give thanks to each part of the process & all the hands the crystal has traveled through, then clear the crystal of any energies it has picked up along the way.

Ways to cleanse:

Water- rinse under running water (avoid water cleansing for softer crystals like celestite or chlorite)

Sun- set in direct sunlight or on a windowsill  (avoid leaving crystals in the sun for too long as prolonged sun exposure can cause some crystals to fade)

Smoke- use smoke from sage or palo santo to cleanse your crystal

Sound- Use sound vibrations such as singing bowls, tuning forks, drums or music

Intention- simply hold your crystal with the intention of cleansing. You can visualize a golden light cleansing your crystal and restoring it to its natural state.

Cleansing prayer:

“Return this crystal to its natural state”

Charging your crystal

You may want to charge your crystals if they begin to feel heavy or are lacking their original energy. You can use sunlight, moonlight, water, sound or by holding and stating your new desire/intention for the crystal.
