How to Clean Crystals

[Crystal Dreams]

There are many different ways you can clean your new crystals including smudging with sacred incenses, sea salt, meditation, the full moonlight, selenite, the energy of the sun and much more! In this topic we will cover a few of the most popular cleansing techniques:

• Smudging: The smudging method involves burning sage leaves, palo santo, resins, or any type of sacred incenses and passing your crystals through the smoke several times while repeating postive affirmations or a prayer.
• Sea salt and water: You can also clean your crystals by putting them in a glass of water and adding sea salt. Moreover, you can leave your crystals in the water overnight with a little bit of sea sal, preferably where it can receive the direct moonlight. However, the very next day you should wash off the salt from your crystal! Please make sure to research if your crystal can be cleaned by salt water as some crystals can get permanently damaged using this method.
• The power of the mind: If you chose to clean your crystal through meditation, hold your crystal in your hand and focus your thoughts on the crystal with the intentions that it will become free from all negative energies while inhaling through your nose.
• Selenite: Lastly, you can chose to clean your crystals with Selenite!  Selenite is powerful stone for recharging and cleansing other stones and the best part is that Selenite never needs to be cleansed! Nevertheless, it will love the attention if you do put it through a cleansing ritual. Placing your crystal next to a selenite stone for 15 minutes is usually enough to cleanse it.
