CLEANSING

How to cleanse your crystals

SELENITE:
To cleanse your crystals with selenite, place the crystals on, in or next to a selenite bowl, slab, or wand. Leave them there for at least six hours, or overnight, to allow the selenite to absorb and neutralize any negative energy. Selenite’s natural purifying properties make it an effective, gentle cleansing method. Selenite bowls, plates, and wands may also be used for long-term storage of crystals since they benefit from the healing properties of selenite.

SAGE:
To cleanse your crystals with sage, light a sage bundle until it smolders and produces smoke. Hold your crystal in the smoke, allowing it to be enveloped for about 30 seconds. Visualize the smoke absorbing and dispelling any negative energies. Repeat as needed, then extinguish the sage safely.

PALO SANTO:
To cleanse your crystals with Palo Santo, begin by lighting the Palo Santo stick until it produces a gentle flame. Allow the flame to extinguish naturally, leaving a glowing ember. Holding your crystal in one hand, pass it through the smoke generated by the Palo Santo, ensuring the smoke envelops the crystal completely. Rotate the crystal to cleanse all sides. As you do this, ask the sacred smoke to clear the crystals of their energy. Likewise, ask the crystals to release the energy they’re holding. Visualize any negative or stagnant energy being released and replaced with pure, positive energy. Once you've smudged each crystal, place them in a well-ventilated area to allow any lingering smoke to dissipate.

FRANKINCENSE AND MYRRH:
To cleanse your crystals with frankincense and myrrh, begin by safely lighting a charcoal disc in a fireproof dish. Once the disc is hot, sprinkle a small amount of frankincense and myrrh resin onto it. As the fragrant smoke rises, pass your crystals through it, visualizing any negative energies being lifted away.

INCENSE:
To cleanse your crystals with incense, begin by selecting your preferred incense stick or resin. Safely light it with a match or lighter, allowing the smoke to billow. Hold your crystal above the rising smoke, allowing it to bathe in the purifying aroma. Visualize negative energies dissipating as the smoke envelops the crystal.

SEA SALT:
To spiritually cleanse your crystals with dry sea salt, first, ensure your crystals are compatible with salt cleansing. Lay them on a bed of dry sea salt in a bowl or container, covering them completely. If feasible, place the bowl or container outside to dispel negative energy. Leave them for several hours or overnight to absorb the salt's purifying energy. This method is perfect for crystals unsuitable for saltwater or moist ground.

FULL MOON:
To spiritually cleanse your crystals with the full moon, begin by selecting a suitable location where they can be exposed to the moon's energy throughout the night. Place your crystals on a natural surface, such as soil or grass, to ensure direct contact with the Earth's energies. Before sunset, set your intentions for the cleansing process, visualizing the moonlight purifying and revitalizing your crystals. As the moon rises, leave your crystals outside, allowing them to absorb the lunar vibrations. In the morning, retrieve your cleansed crystals, expressing gratitude for the moon's cleansing energy. This method harnesses the potent energy of the full moon to clear any accumulated negativity from your crystals, restoring them to their optimal state for spiritual work.

HANDS:
To spiritually cleanse your crystals with your hands, begin by centering yourself in a calm and focused state. Hold the crystal in your dominant hand and visualize white light surrounding it, purifying any negative energies. Envision your intentions for the crystal's energy as you gently rub it between your palms, infusing it with positive vibrations.
