How do I cleanse crystals?Moon bath: Line up your crystals where the moon light’s hit them. Use the full moon to release energy and the new moon to absorb energy growth. Eclipse: Clear stagnant energy with lunar and solar eclipse to recharge with a whole new energy. Line them up your window where the light will hit them. Make sure that crystals charged under solar eclipse aren’t light sensitive. Salt water: This method helps rid the crystal of unwanted energy. Leave the crystal in salt water overnight but make sure they’re safe under salt water first! Smudging: Sage is the most popular herb to use and works perfectly for purification. When smudging your crystals, do it outdoors to ensure that negative energy diffuse somewhere else. Singing bowl: Using sound to cleanse your crystal is fast and effective. Place your crystal beside the singing bowl and strike your mallet clockwise around the singing bowl to perpetuate a ringing sound. Burial: Burying your crystal under the soil re-grounds and drives negative energy away. Leave them for 24 hours and for not more than three days under the soil. |
