 Clearing
and cleansing your Crystals
There are many methods used by crystal workers for
clearing and cleansing stones. I am sure they are all quite correct, and it is
really the magickal act of intention that does the job, rather than the
accoutrements. However, here are several methods which appeared in The
Crystal Workbook.
Running Water
Make sure the water is not too hot or too cold, otherwise any natural cracks
in the stone may be exacerbated and they may crack. If you live near a river or
stream, or even the sea (see my comments on salt below) all well and good,
otherwise tepid tap water will be an adequate substitute. Hold your stone under
the water for a few minutes, and while concentrating on its energy, ask for all
negative and unharmonious vibrations and energies to leave and only that which
is positive and beneficial to remain. When you intuitively feel it is ready, dry
your stone with a soft cloth.
Smudging or Incense
Some stones such as calcite, selenite and dioptase will crumble or cleave on
contact with much water. With these stones and other delicate ones, use smoke as
a cleansing agent. Sage, cedar, sandalwood, benzoin,copal, cinnamon,
frankincense, lavender and myrrh are all good, and you can combine two or more
to make a nice purification incense or use a smudge stick. Surround your stone
with the cleansing smoke, visualize the smoke carrying away any negative
energetic vibrations as you ask for all negative and unharmonious vibrations and
energies to leave and only that which is positive and beneficial to remain. When
you intuitively feel it is ready, stop.
Burying in the Ground
Bury your stone a couple of inches below the soil. Remember where you put
it! (Maybe put a stick next to it...) A terminated crystal such as quartz should
be placed with the point down. Visualize cleansing and healing energy going into
the stone. After about 24 hours or so, unearth your stone. If you feel it needs
more time, bury it for another day. This is a good method for stones that
haven't responded to the water or smoke cleansing. If it's raining, don't use
this method for water-sensitive stones.
The Sun and Moon
Crystals and healing stones benefit from sitting in the sunlight and
moonlight. They will be rejuvenated and cleansed. You might wish to place them
in a window that receives a lot of sunlight or moonlight. Some stones respond
better to the sun than the moon, or vice versa. you'll get to know your stones
in time. Meanwhile, leave them out in both. I've read some places on the web
that stones shouldn't be left in the sun as they will fade. This hasn't been my
experience, unless the stone has been color-altered (dyed, irradiated or
heated). I have an amethyst that has lived on the window sill for 3 years or
more and it's just as dark as ever.
Placing Stones on Crystal Clusters
One easy way of cleansing smaller stones is to place them on an amethyst or
clear quartz cluster. Amethyst in particular has cleansing properties. Clear
quartz clusters will assist your stone in building up its healing energy.
Why I don't recommend salt
Well, I'll qualify that. Some stones are just fine with salt as a cleansing
agent - either sea salt alone or in water. However, there are a number, such as
malachite or azurite, that will loose their beautiful sheen if too much salt
gets to them. It's a physical rather than metaphysical thing. With quartz and
the quartz family, salt is just fine. My tip is, before you use salt or salty
water for cleansing your stones, check with your crystal shop. If they can't
help you, err on the side of caution.
Remember you can charge your stones with Reiki Energy
during the cleansing process for optimal vibration, power, usage and healing.
 I'd like to thank
Lilitu for her knowledge, love, creativity and energy. The above
information are made available thanks to you, Lilitu Babalon. May you find all
things rare and wonderful as you journey through time, planets and space. Peace
love and light! Blessings Sister.
