Because crystals are conduits of energy and intention, it is important to cleanse your new finds to rid them of any previous intent.
Some methods may be soaking, smudging, sound and moonlight. These are just some of the possible ways of riding your crystals of any previous intent.Â
Soaking
​Add ½ tsp of sea salt to every cup of alkaline water in a glass bowl and stir. Add your crystal, making sure it is submerged. Close your eyes and, with your hands hovering over the bowl, set the intention for the salted water to remove any negative energy from the crystals. Let your crystal soak overnight, remove, then rinse. *ensure the crystal is allowed to be exposed to water before soaking any of your crystalsÂ
Smudging
Hold the crystal in your hand and light a bundle of sage or palo santo wood until it smolders. Wave the smoke back and forth over the crystals. Then extinguish the embers.
Sound
Hold the crystal in your hand and light a bundle of sage or palo santo wood until it smolders. Wave the smoke back and forth over the crystals. Then extinguish the embers.
Moonlight
Leave your crystal in the sun all day or overnight in the moonlight if it hasn’t reconnected to the earth in a long time.
