Crystals and stones are very much a part of the natural environment, and like all things, in nature, they need to be treated with a profound level of respect. That means you’ll want to periodically cleanse them of all the negative energy that they’ve been removing from your life. This will keep them good and pure so that they’ll be fit to continue having a strong influence on you.
Naturally, you’ll want to keep your crystals and stones free of dust. A little gentle treatment with a dry lint-free cloth will help to reduce these kinds of concerns. On the other hand, you’ll want to dedicate an equal if not greater amount of time to keeping them free of the energies that you deal with while, at the same time, inviting more positive powers into your life.
Smudge Your House To Invite Positive Energy
You’ll want to start with your home as a whole. Smudging with either white sage or Palo Santo has been an ancient practice used for thousands of years.
Sage has been used for a variety of ceremonies. These include energy cleansing, healing purposes, and spiritual practices. Other herbs used for incense will also work in a pinch.
How Can You Benefit From This Powerful Tool?
In times of crisis, when your home vibrations are low or when you need energy cleanses, sage can come in handy. In the most critical times, such an act functions as a calming ritual. They can quiet any forces in your life that might be stressing you out.
When burning sage, allow some time for the smoke to transmute negative energy. It will help to harmonize and neutralize any vibrations in your surroundings.
While you perform the ritual, you’ll want to either recite or meditate on the following strophes.
Smudging Prayer:
I release all the negative energy that no longer serves me, the negativity that surrounds me, and the fears that limit me. I surround my space with divine light and positive energy.
Once you’ve smudged your home, you’ll also want to smudge your crystals with sage so you can be sure that they are free of any negativity that they might have absorbed while serving you. Eventually, you’re going to need to be sure that you clean your crystals and even recharge them.
How to Charge Crystals On A Full Moon
Gather all of the crystals that you want to recharge and, after the sun goes down, place them on a clean windowsill or mirror. You can then either have them bask in the moon’s light or have them sit outside under it. A full moon cleansing really is as simple as allowing them to absorb power in this respect. You’ll be able to do so even if there’s a full lunar eclipse.
In fact, some people believe that lunar eclipses on the night of a truly full moon are auspicious occasions that can attract an even greater level of positive energy to your crystal. You’ll want to charge your crystals every full moon that rolls around.
How To Charge Crystals On A New Moon
Since new moons represent beginnings, they can eliminate old stagnant energy that’s adhered to your crystals over time. We recommend that you use this form of charging when wanting a fresh start or taking a risk.
Cleansing crystals on a new moon is almost identical to the process used on a full moon.
Either place them onto a windowsill or a tray outside and allow them to bask in the almost absent glow of the new moon.
How To Charge Crystals With Intentions
Meditate with your crystal on a specific intention so that your gem becomes set with it. Always make sure that any intention you’re setting is a positive one that you truly want. This prevents any waste or pollution of a vital natural stone. Once you’ve done so, you can be sure that your stone is set with the intention and charged with all of the energy needed to attract it.
At the same time, you’ll want to use other methods to maintain your stones properly. Salt is one option. Cleanse your crystal by placing them in a bowl filled with sea salt, but make sure that it’s genuine natural sea salt that doesn’t have nutritional iodine or other compounds added to it. Any package you use should explicitly state that it consists of 100 percent sea salt with no other ingredients. A crystal can be left in the sea salt for 24 hours, but the salt must be disposed of afterward. Do not reuse it.
Singing bowls are another tool. These Tibetan meditation bowls ring like bells when the user gently strikes them. One method is to place the bowl on a cushion; another is to hold it above your gemstones. Arrange the crystals around the bowl — never put them inside — and strike it gently. Rub the stick against the bowl in a counterclockwise direction. Do this several times. This will cleanse your crystals.
Do not run crystals under pure and clean water. Some gemstones release toxic fumes in response, such as malachite. This can fill enclosed spaces and poison you or other residents.
