Stones >> Keep your Gemstone and Crystal shine
Keep your Gemstone and Crystal shine forever
Before you start to use your crystals
you should actually cleanse them.
After you have cleansed your stones, don't let
any other people handle them, unless you are willing to rinse
out them again right away.
This is not a one time activity. Since crystals hold
your energies, and help in removing or changing energy, achieving
balance, etc, you want to cleanse them routinely. You don't want
the stored negative energy they removed from you to remain in
the crystals.
If you think that crystals are just lumps of minerals, and what
you do to them doesn't matter, you are almost certainly in the
wrong place.
Would you like to be masked in salt? YIKES! How about nice salted
temperate water baths to sooth your muscles? Sounds better, right?
Do you love the smell of blazing incense? Do you just love transient
thru the scent on you way to do other tings? I do. I have incense
blazing several times a day. Do you like the woodsy reek of Hickory
smoke? Would you want to sit in a nice cool running stream? Yes,
of course you would. Would you like to stay there for 3 days?
Use these guidelines, and you will do just fine in cleaning your
crystals.
Smudging
Hold your gemstone and crystal over the smoke
of incense for about few minutes to smudge the gem
or crystal and then clear the energy inside. Some people would
only use White Sage Smudge, but we feel several are very good
for cleaning, including, Sandalwood, Cedar wood, and Sage and
also Sweet grass. It is particularly smoky, which is why people
like it for cleansing. This method is very quick particularly
if you burn a lot of candles and enrage as part of your daily
habit, as we do. It could run several crystals thru the smoke,
as it only takes about 20 or 40 seconds of smoke to cleanse.
Soaking
Soak your gemstone
and crystal in sea salt dissolved in warm purified and spiral
water. Don't use a metal bowl. I leave mine in about 3 or 5 hours,
and I do not do them all at once. Rinse them in cool water before
you are finished to remove any salt. Do not re-use that salt water.
Those negative energies you wanted to rid from your gems
are now in the water! Don't soak porous stones, like
opal, lapis, and also coral.
It will harm the stone. For those stones then would use a Sage
smudge.
Running water
Place your stones in a mesh bag, and immerse
in an outdoors stream or river for a few hours. This both cleanses
and re-energizes your stones. They would adore it if you put them
in a mesh bath while you fill the tub.
Sunlight
Place your gemstone and crystal in warm sunlight
for about 4 hours.
Moonlight
Place your gemstone and crystal in direct moonlight
overnight. A nice size bedroom casement sill is perfect. Don't
choose one that gets the hot morning sun.
Burying
Wrap your gem or crystal in clean cloth and
bury it in damp ground in a special place. I have a small garden
right by my front door, and that is huge for me, as I like it
close to me. I think the crystals like this method; it’s
a lot like going back into the "womb" where they were
born. Leave for about the time it takes to birth a child, but
not more than 12 hours.
Place the crystal you want cleansed on a larger crystal
cluster for a number of hours. They like to visit with
their friends.
