Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be offering several options for you to try. Like always, I’d encourage you to use your intuition and decide for yourself what works best for you. I have tried all of them, and sometimes I’ll combine them for a greater effect. For example, I might smudge them and then put them out to sit in the moonlight on a full moon and maybe even give them a little bit of Reiki. There are also some crystals that don’t need to be cleansed such as citrine as they do not hold negative energy. However, I don’t see any harm in cleansing all my crystals. I usually have a big crystal party on a full moon when they can all get together and hang out for the night.
When we cleanse our crystals, we are purging unwanted lingering negative energy or vibrations that the crystal may have picked up. Many persons may have handled the stone before finding its way to you. It can carry the energy from these people. Cleansing it will clear any negative energy from human contact or the environment in which it was kept.
When a crystal has been in a negative environment, been used for healing or even has been sitting around unused for a while, their energy can begin to be negative or often stagnant. This is a good time to cleanse them. It’s like cleaning them up and giving them some nice energy to fill up from the Universe. We know how good that feels, crystals are the same. Cleansing helps to restore their natural state and the gemstones’ ability to carry positive energy and use it to the best of its ability for healing, manifestation and other important tasks.
Always cleanse a new crystal, especially ones you’ve purchased, as they likely have been handled by several different people. Since you don’t know them, it’s better to start with a clean slate. The clearer the energy is in a healing stone, the more powerful it will be. Once again, use your intuition to guide you.
If you hold the crystal and its life force feels low and dull or even negative and dark, then it's time for a cleanse. For some crystals, you can also feel the weight of the heavy energy they are carrying. You may feel that its vibrancy lacks that shine it once possessed and has become dull. If you use your crystals to heal yourself or others, always cleanse them after the treatment. Crystals thrive on being charged, so charge often. Most people suggest once a week. Once again, use your intuition.
A crystal that has been cleansed will feel positive and bright, as well as cool to the touch. A crystal that needs clearing may feel hot, heavy or dull and lifeless.
CAUTION: Are you experiencing problems with falling or staying asleep? Your crystals may be the problem. There might be too much energy coming from them. If so, I’d recommend placing them in a different room or further away from your bed and see if that helps.
HOW OFTEN TO CLEANSE: Crystals that are used often or carried around regularly need regular cleansing. Many people suggest once a week but use your intuition. Since crystals pick up the energy in their environment, it’s important to cleanse them based on where they are kept. If it is a high-stress place, such as an office, it might be wise to cleanse it more often. When there have been arguments or strong emotions present in an environment where your crystals are kept, it's also a good time to cleanse them to rid them of anything they may have picked up. Good luck and happy cleansing!
