WELCOME

Crystals are conductors of energy - they have the ability to absorb, transmute, amplify, and transform energy, and

as such they must be cleared to avoid taking on any of the energy they have come in contact with - especially

crystals that absorb negative energy!

I recommend doing this as soon as you bring your new crystal(s) home, as we don’t know what has touched or

interacted with the crystal before it got to you. It is likely that the crystal has been extracted, moved and transported far from its home and has gone through many people’s hands before it has reached yours - and you don’t want to be in contact with those energies!

Find a method that resonates with you and your practice. What works best for you may not work as well for

someone else, so pay attention to what feels right.

9 Ways to Cleanse and Charge Your Crystals

1. The Sun: The sun is by far the most powerful way to cleanse your crystals. Even when it is cloudy, the sun's rays

will still energize and charge the crystals. Be careful though, as some stones will fade in extended direct sunlight.

2. The Moon: A full moon and new moon are especially powerful for cleansing and recharging your crystals. You can

place them outside or on a windowsill at these times. Even if it is a cloudy night, the moon's rays will still energize

them.

3. Mother Earth: Crystals originate from the Earth, so placing them directly into the earth will naturally cleanse all

negative energies and re-energize them. I suggest you leave them for approximately 24 hours. If the stones are

set, or strung into jewelery, it is best to gently cover them with a cloth first, so that they don’t get dirty.

4. Sea Salt: Sea salt has long been known to have purification properties. For this reason, many people like to

place their gemstones directly into a bowl of natural sea salt. One method is to use two glass bowls - one larger

than the other. Fill the large bowl with sea salt and place the smaller bowl into this. Put your stones into the small

bowl and leave overnight for approximately 24 hours. The sea salt will absorb all negative energies from the

stones, leaving them cleansed and re-energized. Make sure you dispose of the salt so it is not used again. Only

use glass bowls when cleansing and charging gemstones with salt.

5. Selenite: Selenite crystal has the ability to remove blocks and negative energy from other crystals and

gemstones, cleansing and magnifying the energy of anything that is placed upon it. Selenite is one of the few

crystals that do not require cleansing and charging.I would suggest that you obtain either a flat piece or one of

the long wand type pieces, that are commonly available, and put stones on top of it.

6. Smoke Cleansing: Smoke cleansing is a very efficient way of cleansing gemstones. You can use sacred herbs

such as sage (white sage is popular), sweet grass, sandalwood, or even incense. Simply burn the sacred herbs or

incense and pass your stones through the smoke. This will clear the stones of all negative energy. Set the

intention that you are clearing any negative or low frequency energy from the crystals.

7. House Plants: If you’re not able to leave your crystals outside with Mother Earth, you can place your crystals at

the base of, or on the branch of, a healthy indoor house plant for 24 hours. You will achieve a similar effect as

leaving them outside with Mother Earth.

8. Singing Bowl: If the stones are small you may put them into the singing bowl. Place bigger stones close to the

bowl, then set your intentions and play the bowl for a few minutes.

9. Using Your Intention and Visualization: Find a quiet space where you can concentrate, and do your best to get

into a meditative state. Hold your crystal in your hands, and then visualize a bright stream of pure white light

beaming straight out of your third eye, surrounding the crystal with its glow like a protective shield. Focus your

mental energies on your crystals and ask the Divine and Enlightened beings that are your Spirit Guides, Angels or

the Universe, to cleanse the stones of all negative energies and to re-energize them for their maximum potential. Do this until you feel the energy of the crystal shift (trust your intuition on this!), and then move onto the next

piece. Always give thanks after doing this.

How Often to Cleanse Your Stones

The more often you use a stone, the more energy it collects. A good rule of thumb is to clear all of your stones at least once a month. If an individual stone is feeling heavier than usual, go ahead and cleanse it. You don’t have to

wait a designated amount of time between clearings.

What should I do with my stones after they’ve been

cleansed?

Find mindful places to keep your stones. If you can, keep them near windows or plants so they can absorb this

natural healing energy. Otherwise, place the stones around your home, office, or other space in a way that aligns

with your intentions or goals or healing journey.
