Cleansing your crystals

When you get a crystal, it may be new to you, but it’s been on a long journey to find itself in your possession. It has been extracted from the earth and passed many different hands.

That’s a lot of collected energy and we all want a fresh start for our new crystals. It’s worth your while cleansing them. I would also suggest cleansing your crystals monthly to keep them vibing strong.

My top 4 ways to cleanse your crystals:

Sunlight or Moonlight Bathing

When you see your crystals starting to look a little dull and not as vibrant, return them to nature. Let your crystals bathe outside in light of the sun or moon for at least 4 hours. My favourite is to moon bathe them on a full moon for the night.

When in Doubt, Smoke It Out

Burn sage and immerse your crystals in the sacred smoke, it will also make your home smell great. Simply use a feather or your hand to waft the smoke over and around your crystals. 

Salt Bowl

Pore Himalayan salt rocks in a bowl or on a flat plate. Sit your crystals on top or bury them for 24 hours. 

Salt Water Bath

Use cool boiled water with Himalayan salt or fresh sea water in a bowl. Soak your crystals over night or even longer if you feel they need a little extra. When you take them out and let them dry in sun or on a window sill.
