Your Crystals
By ANNIE JOHNSTON
Cleansing Crystals
Healing crystals hold vibrations and absorb energy, which is why it's essential to cleanse them regularly to prevent residual energy build-up. The crystals used most often require extra attention since they hold more energy, and it's recommended to cleanse them once a month or more frequently if necessary.
The Senses
For visualization, the best way is to sit it down in an undisturbed location and conduct a quiet meditation session. If you’re looking to cleanse a large number of crystals at once, the use of sound is better as the vibrations will break down negative energy.
Nature
Using nature is a great way to cleanse crystals, such as leaving them outside under a full moon or burying them in dirt for a week. Salt and brown rice can also be used to absorb negative energy by immersing the crystal in a bowl of them overnight.
Smoke
Just as people use smoke to clear negative energy out of our bodies, you can also use it to remove bad vibrations from crystals with a fireproof bowl or shell. State your intention, light your bundle of sage, then smudge the room to clear negative energies, and make sure the smoke touches the crystal.
Stones & Crystals
Selenite and clear quartz have self-cleansing energy making them perfect for cleansing. To cleanse, put your crystals in a bowl, dish, or plate made of selenite, or place them in a soft, scratch-free bag with clear quartz overnight.
