How to Cleanse Your Crystals
The crystals purchased from Sanctuary of Wellness are kept in Maya's beautiful sacred office space where the high vibration remains pure and filled with love and light. It is however important to know how to safely cleanse and care for your crystals once you take them home and as you continue to work with them. Crystals absorb and retain energy and can be exposed to a variety of vibrational frequencies so it is important to cleanse them often. After you have received new crystals and have cleansed them it is necessary to continue to cleanse them on a regular basis. Let your intuition guide you to know when they need cleansing. However, any crystals that are used for giving yourself or others healing treatments should be cleansed right after using them as they will absorb any lower vibrational frequencies which will need to be cleared from the crystals. Crystals worn as jewellery absorb the energy of one's varying emotions and moods and should be cleansed often as well. Also, a sign that a crystal may be in need of cleansing is if you notice that it is beginning to look a little dull. After being cleansed you will notice the difference as its sparkle and vibration is restored.
The following are some of the ways in which you can cleanse your crystals.
--Bury the crystal in the earth for 24 hours.
--Visualize white light bathing the crystal and clearing it of any lower vibrational frequencies.
--Use the sound from tingshas (Tibetan cymbals), a singing bowl or a drum to clear the vibrations of your crystal.
--Breathe into the crystal with the intention that your breath will cleanse it or if you are attuned to Reiki you can use the power symbol to cleanse it.
--Bury the crystal in a glass or other natural (non-plastic) container of sea salt for 24 hours.
--Place it on an amethyst cluster or in an amethyst geode. Cleanse the amethyst too, from time to time, after it has been used to cleanse other crystals.
--The following is a great method for clear quartz crystals. In a natural container such as glass or pottery, dissolve half a teaspoon of Dead Sea salt in lukewarm water (never use hot water). Place the crystal in the container for 24 hours up to 7 days. Allow your intuition to guide you how long it needs to be kept soaking. After the allotted time, remove your crystal and rinse it in water and place it on a towel to dry in the sun. Allow the crystal to soak in the sun for several hours.
Cleansing Precautions
Caution should be taken with some crystals that are water soluble and delicate like selenite and angelite. They should not be placed in water. Also avoid using salt with softer crystals that can scratch. If in doubt, use one of the safer methods above like using sound.
