When you bring home a new crystal...it is imperative to clean and clear the energy of the stone. Other energies have come into contact with it and by taking it home with you, you are bringing them along with it. Similar to how your auric field can pick up debris during the day, your new crystal absorbs quite similarly.
So how do you clean and clear your crystal? Everyone has a different method. Just be mindful that not every crystal can handle water (selenite!) or direct sunlight (amethyst!)...so it's best to do bit of research to understand the limitations prior to cleansing. Methods for cleansing: 1. Sound: Ting sha's and chanting are excellent methods. 2. Reiki: One of my personal favorite methods is to use Reiki energy to cleanse and charge crystals. 3. Selenite: Place your new crystals on selenite. The selenite operates at such a high frequency that they rarely require cleansing and they assist effortlessly. 4. Sunlight or moonlight: Both work effectively and depending upon your intent, in combination with the moon phase. 5. Smudging: Hold your crystal over the smoke and visualize the "ick" drifting up and off the crystal. Send the "ick" to the light for transmutation. 6. Trees: Placing your crystals in a tree or at the base of a tree will cleanse and also increase their vibration. Ask the tree for its permission prior to commencing and remember to say a blessing of thanks when the cleansing is complete. 7. Salt: Placing your crystals in a bowl of salt. The salt will absorb the negative charge and neutralize it. 8. Mixtures: A combination of sea salt, water and sage leaf: Works especially well if the vessel is placed in the garden and in direct sunlight. Just ensure that the mixture does not come into contact with the soil. Salt + gardening=not so great! ;) 9. Earth: Bury them! Just mark the earth where you have buried them or you might forget where they are! lol. 10. Cold temperature: Place your crystals in a bowl and sit the bowl outside in freezing temperature. Simple and highly effective. I have also used the freezer for this. If your crystal can handle water, place them in water with ice cubes for 20 minutes or so. Your crystal is now ready for bonding! Love and light to you!
