For what ?
Just like your home, your crystals need cleaning to rid them of bad energies and thus strengthen their energetic vibrations. We often feel better in a clean space free of clutter, as if purified and more inclined to rest. Your crystals are the same, they constantly accumulate energies and will need more regular cleaning depending on their uses and the energy that surrounds them.
Also remember to clean them when you first acquire them because they have passed through many hands.
There are several cleaning methods, choose the one that suits you best…
Cleaning methods:
In clear water:
You can diveyour crystals in clear water, preferably bottled water to avoid limescale deposits and other pollutants that could damage your crystals.
Immerse your stone for 5 to 10 minutes in water to purify it, then let it dry on a natural cloth (cotton, linen, etc.). The best option is to immerse it in river water, but this is not always easy in the city!
Sun and Moon:
You can simply place your crystals outside so that they benefit from the rays of the Sun and the Moon. A little nature bath, like a return to the source. Remember to let them recharge for 2 to 3 hours but be careful not to put them when the sun is too intense and too hot. On full moon evenings your crystals will be better purified and recharged!
If you don't have any outdoor space, place them on a windowsill!
To the smoke:
Burn a stick of Palo Santo or dried white sage, this will purify your interior and your crystals at the same time. You can immerse your crystal in the smoke so that it fully benefits from the benefits! Be careful, always remember to ventilate your room well!
On a bed of crystals:
A simple method is to place your crystal for 24 hours on a bed of Quartz crystal.. You can fill a saucer with small shards, a pretty decoration that will serve as a resting place for your crystal. You can also do this method with Selenite and Amethyst. These 2 crystals have the ability to charge and purify other crystals.
Back to the land:
Just like us, our crystals need a return to the source! They come from the earth so a little immersion in clean and pure soil will do them the greatest good. Obviously this method is ideal if you are in the countryside. Avoid the pot of potting soil!
