Cleansing Crystals

Crystals absorb energy from their surroundings, as you cleanse your crystal, hold the

intention in your mind that any negative energies will be transmitted into positive ones.

Crystals that are used often or carried around regulary will need regular cleansing.

Immerse in the ocean   or a handful of seasalt dissolved in water works just as well.

Flowing water  Hold the crystal under a waterfall, in a stream, or beneath a running tap, or use bottled spring water.

Smudging  Hold the crystals in smoke from a smudge stick or use incense.

Visualization  Visualize a column of pure white or golden light coming

  down to surround the crystal.

Flower   Use flowers or dried petals.

  You can use dried lavender for purple stones.

Use Quartz  Cleanse your crystals on a Quartz or Amethyst cluster for 12 hours.

Earth Cleansing  Bury in your garden and leave for 24 hours.

  If the soil is too acidic you can bury them in a plant pot.

Rice cleansing  Fill a glass bowl with organic, uncooked brown rice and bury the crystals in rice, leave for 24 hours. Discard the rice afterwards.

Freezer   Place stones and jewellery in the freezer for a few hours.

Sound  Use a Tibetan singing bowl.
