Finding Inspiration Series: Cleansing Crystals

My 'Finding Inspiration' series was written out of a need that comes
up in my practice, most often in Spring and Fall. I feel we all need
a bit of enlightenment now and then to help us move forward. Finding
motivation through inspiration can be the spark which sets you on
your way! What better inspiration than for a New Year!

Good Clean Fun

What better way to reconnect, touch and revisit your crystals, than
when you clean them! Gather up all your stones. As you choose a
specific way to cleanse away the dust, negative or stale energy that
may surround your stone, remember what made you choose it (or why it
chose you)in the first place. Below are some suggestions for
cleansing:

*Place it under the light of a full moon for a night.

*Some crystals need to be energized by the light of a sun for the day.

*Bury it in the earth (make sure you mark it!), for 24 hours.

*Place in Sea Salt Water. One teaspoon of Sea Salt in a glass bowl in
cool water. Place the crystal in the water. Make sure the crystal is
covered with water. Let this bathe in the water for 24 hours. This is
a wonderful way to rejuvenate the power of your crystal. It washes
away the negative energy it has absorbed and recharges it with the
positive healing energy again. (Note: Some crystals should NOT be
washed/cleansed in salt water/sun for it changes their physical
properties (not their metaphysical properties), they are listed below.

Not to be cleansed in Salt Water:
*Calcite
*Carnelian
*Labradorite (Spectrolite)
*Lepidolite
*Moldivate
*Opal
*Turquoise
*Ulexite

*Use caution only with the softer Mica and crystaline stones

May fade in Sunlight:
*Amethyst
*Celestite
*Opal
*Turquoise

*Smudge your crystal with sweetgrass, sage, cedar or incense. Pass
the crystal several times through the wafting smoke.

*Place your crystal on a large crystal cluster for 24 hours.

*Place your crystal in flower petals such as rose, honeysuckle,
orange blossoms for 24 hours will cleanse the crystal of all it's
negative energy.
