Greetings Friends!
The process of cleansing crystals is something we’re asked about a lot in the shop. And of course, like with all practices, cleansing your crystals should be done in the way that feels best for you.
With this guide we want to share some of our favorite methods with you. Please allow this list to spark your imagination and (as always) do what feels best for you and your crystals!
Burying
Doing this is very helpful for all the black and darker colored stones that you use for grounding. Remember to check that the crystal is not water soluble before burying in wet ground.
Smoke
Using smoke from many sources are great for cleansing your crystals, yourself, and your space.
Here are some ideas for things to burn during your smoke cleansing practice:
→ Herbal bundles
→ Resins such as frankincense, copal, and myrrh
→ Incense
→ Loose herbs
The Moon
The power of the full moon is known for helping you release anything that is no longer serving you. Place your crystals in the light of the moon to help them release any energy they no longer need to hold.
→ Use the full moon for releasing energy from your crystals.
→ Use the new moon to welcome positive energy into your crystals.
Visualization
Meditation and visualization can be powerful tools for cleansing. It is also a quick way to connect energetically with your crystals!
Here are some examples for you:
→ Meditate about what you want to do with the crystal in your practice.
→ Hold the crystal and picture the energy flowing out of it, into the ground, or into the air and floating away.
Frequency Sound
Frequencies and vibrations move well through all energetic fields, making them perfect for cleansing rituals. All of the following are perfect for frequency cleansing.
→ Bells
→ Singing bowls
→ Music
→ Chimes
→ Drums
Saltwater
Saltwater is naturally very cleansing. If you don’t live near a body of salty water, you can make your own! Try making it with water charged by the moon for an extra dose of cleansing power.
→ **Warning ** Some crystals are water soluble, so be sure to check before using this method.
