Cleansing & Tuning Your Crystals
Cleanse new crystals straight away, particularly if you intend to use them for healing. Cleansing is not a physical process; rather a spiritual ritual. In esoteric terms crystals absorb and re-transmit all energies with which they come into contact.
In healing crystals become receptive to emotional energies. Cleansing brings your crystal back to a neutral state, so that accumulated negative energies are not passed on. this process also re-energizes the crystal and ensures that it functions at its highest level. Let your intuition be the best guide: keep the intention in mind that you are clearing away all inappropriate energies and that you are working with purity of purpose. (NB. some crystals are sensitive to light and water).
Sunlight: Light is the essential currency of crystal healing so re-energize your water cleansed stones to sunlight for 24 hours before dedicating them.
Running Water: Cleanse your crystals by holding them under running water, such as an ordinary bathroom tap. As you do so think about a beautiful waterfall you have seen or visited. Or imagine the water lapping over your crystal on a tropical beach.
Resonating Sound: Purify your crystals with the resonating sound of a bell you love. You can cleanse a roomful of crystals by ringing the bell above them, but the best way to purify crystals is one at a time.
Smuding: "Smudge" your crystals by burning a wadge of dried herbs and waving the smoke over and through them. You can use smuding to purify a roomful of crystals.
Earth Burial: Crystals have come from the earth. If you feel they are safe enough you can bury your crystals in the ground. The earth has a natural magnetic quality which will draw off negativity.
Thought Vizualisation: Imagine a bright star pouring pure white light through an opening in the top of your head. Guide it down through your body, sensing it being cleansed. Feel negative energies draining out of your feet. Now dedicate the crystal: "I dedicate this crystal to love and for the universal benefit of all".
Amethyst Bed: Crystal healers commonly use a large piece, or bed, of amethyst to cleanse several stones at once. Amethyst is said to transmute lower energies into the higher frequencies of both the spiritual and ethereal worlds, thereby transforming whatever is placed on it.
