Cleansing and Energising Your Crystals
Because we know crystals can store energy (and, when needed, release it), it is important
that only positive energy is stored within the crystal. Therefore, we firmly believe that you
should always cleanse and energise your crystals before use. This is to remove any
negative energies they may have acquired by being handled by others.
There is no right or wrong method of doing this, some are quicker and easier than others.
You must choose the method you feel happiest with.
Go with your intuition.
How often you cleanse your crystals is up to you. You will know when the time is right.
Cleansing crystals is very easy and there are many different ways of doing it.
Here are a few of the most common examples:-
Water:-
A) Hold your crystals under a running (luke-warm) tap for a few seconds and
put on a windowsill to dry naturally and energise.
(If possible, in sunlight/moonlight).
This is probably the easiest and most popular method of cleansing.
B) It may be that your crystals will benefit more from stream water, as it is a more
natural source and will possess greater energy because it comes from the Earth.
C) Immerse the crystal in sea water (or pure mineral water with sea salt added).
This method is not generally recommended as some of the softer crystals
can be damaged. (Probably better/safer to use water from a spring or stream
and omit the salt.)
Smoke:-
Another way is to burn incense around them; the smoke that is emitted will purify
the crystal while the scent will positively charge it.
This is a very good way of cleansing crystals and energising your house.
In the ground:-
It is also said that burying them in the garden will cleanse and energise crystals,
because that is where they originated. (But remember where you buried them).
Bury them for at least 24 hours or a cycle of the sun and moon.
This method does however seem very messy and once you dig them out you'll
then have to wash them anyway.
Crystal Energy:-
Another common method is to cleanse and energise them using crystal energy;
Amethyst or Quartz beds or geodes are perfect for doing this.
If you place your crystals on/in the bed/geode and leave them there overnight,
or as long as is convenient, they will emerge completely energised.
You could also use Boji Stones. If you place the stones within the
centre of your crystals and leave for a few hours (or as long as possible)
the crystals will be cleansed and energised.
Visualisation:-
It is also possible to cleanse and charge your crystals with healing energy.
If possible, hold your crystals in the palm of your hand and try to visualise them
surrounded by a bubble of pure,white healing energy.
While you are holding them, you can also program them.
Sunlight/Moonlight:-
Sunlight is said to be a good form of energising crystals. If a crystal is left in
direct sunlight for a few hours it will charge up, working on a similar
level as solar energy.
This whole procedure can also be repeated at night, preferably when
there is a full moon, using lunar energy.
Rain:-
Leave outside in the rain. If possible, leave for at least 24 hours to use the
full cycle of the sun and moon.
Sound:-
Pure vibrations from a tuning fork, bell or even a gong can be used for
cleansing and energising crystals.
In the shop, we use a singing bowl to cleanse our crystals, simply due
to the numbers involved - but it works for us!!
All of these ways of energising a crystal can be combined for a better result,
remembering that once you have removed the negative energy you can
just leave it to collect solar and lunar energy.
It is always good to remember that on occasions you will lose, or feel the need
to give your crystals away.
This is the crystals' way of telling you that you no longer need it any more,
or that someone else will benefit more (is in greater need).
So now you know how to cleanse and energize your crystals I hope you will enjoy
and experience their power to its full potential.
NEVER FORGET
LOOK AFTER YOUR CRYSTALS,
TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT,
AS YOU WOULD A FRIEND
AND THEY WILL LOOK AFTER YOU
