What is Crystal Cleansing?

When you use crystals regularly, a lot of times they will get bogged down with negative energy. Those who actually have the ability to feel crystal energy will feel that they aren't as strong as they once were. You can pick them up in your hand and tell that they aren't working very well. Then you know it's time for a cleanse.

Cleansing a crystal gets rid of that negative energy and helps the crystal become new again so that it can do all that it's meant to do.

Some people will need to cleanse their crystals more than others. It depends on how much you use them and how much negative energy the crystal is exposed to in your environment.

How To Cleanse Crystals

Sage

Burning a stick of sage can clear the air and remove negative energy from a person, area, or object. The sage plants are dried and bundled together with string. You just light the end on fire and the smoke will be produced. The smoke is what is used to clear areas. To use it on crystals, just allow the crystal to sit in the smoke until it is cleared.

Palo Santo

Palo Santo literally means "holy wood". They are these small pieces of wood that can be lit on fire similar to sage. The smoke removes negative energy in the same way as well. So you can use it the same way as sage and it will cleanse your crystals, body, and space.

Tibetan Singing Bowls

If you want to purchase Tibetan singing bowls, they are a great way to cleanse a space. Tibetan singing bowls emit frequency into the air and everything will vibrate at that frequency. You can find some that are related to each individual chakra as well. They are great for general healing and meditation.

Color Healing

This one I have personally not used before, but I know some people use color light for healing, cleansing, and restoration. You would use the color relating to the stone. For example, with sodalite you would use a blue light. Again, I have not tried this one so I cannot speak on experience here, but you are welcome to try it if you feel lead to.

Sun/Moon

Using the Sun and Moon is a popular way to cleanse and charge stones. You would pick one, either Sun or Moon, and let the crystals sit out in the light. Some prefer to use the full Moon since the light from the full Moon is much brighter.

If you are going to use the Sun, you should be aware that some crystals can fade if left in the Sun too much. I personally will just put the crystals in the Sun very briefly. I've learned that a little bit of direct sunlight can go a long way.

These are some of the most popular ways of cleansing crystals. I hope this helps you on your quest to cleanse your stones.
