How to Cleanse and Purify Your Crystal
Understanding how to cleanse and purify crystals is crucial for anyone who owns them, as it ensures the crystals function at their best. With a wide range of cleansing methods available, it’s important to separate the effective ones from the incorrect. But what are the principles behind crystal purification, and how can we cleanse our crystals effectively?
Why Cleanse Crystals
Crystals possess a remarkable ability to absorb information and energy. Over millions of years, they’ve stored the earth’s energy, which can influence our luck, health, and emotions. When different people touch crystals, they may leave behind positive or negative energy. Therefore, it’s essential to demagnetize (or purify) crystal jewelry purchased from stores before wearing it to avoid being affected by unknown energies.
Moreover, crystals absorb the negative energy we emit. As they accumulate a certain amount of negative energy, they can lose their luster and become dull. Regularly cleansing crystals removes this negative energy, maintaining their shine and enabling them to continuously emit positive energy and function optimally.
Consequences of Neglecting Crystal Cleansing
Failure to cleanse crystals regularly leads to the accumulation of negative energy. This gradually blocks the crystals’ original energy fields and diminishes their effectiveness. In extreme cases, the crystal may permanently lose its efficacy, a phenomenon some refer to as the crystal “dying.” This clearly demonstrates the importance of cleansing and purifying crystals.
Principles of Crystal Purification
The goal of purification or demagnetization is to neutralize the negative energy within the crystal, converting it into harmless energy. However, only a few crystals can achieve this on their own. Most crystals merely absorb negative energy, which means they themselves need to be purified to serve the purpose of cleansing.
Effective Crystal Cleansing Methods
1. White Quartz Cluster Purification
This simple method involves placing your crystal on a white quartz cluster. The cluster’s purification energy helps eliminate impurities from the crystal and recharge it. It’s advisable to place your favorite crystal bracelets, pendants, or other jewelry on the cluster every night before going to bed.
2. Selenite Purification (Best Method)
Begin by soaking selenite in water for a few hours to infuse the water with its energy. Then, immerse the crystal to be cleansed in the water for approximately 10 - 30 minutes. The powerful energy of selenite will effectively cleanse and demagnetize the crystal. This method is suitable for both crystal decorations and jewelry. The soaking duration may vary depending on the size and quantity of the crystals.
Additional Methods for Crystal Self - Restoration
These methods allow the crystal to enter a state of rest and self - regulate its internal energy. Although they may be slower and less effective than the previous methods, they’re still useful when tools are unavailable.
1. Freezing Purification
Rinse the crystal with tap water or distilled water for a few minutes or soak it for about half an hour. After drying, place it in a container and refrigerate for approximately six to seven hours. The low temperature, conducive to crystal growth, enables the crystal to rest and recharge.
2. Earth Purification
If you have a garden, bury the crystal in the soil. The earth’s energy will help cleanse it.
3. Moonlight Purification
Place the crystal in a container and position it in a location exposed to moonlight, such as a balcony, windowsill, or garden. Keep in mind that the moon’s position changes, affecting the illuminated area. The best time for this method is during the full moon and the days before and after, when moonlight is most intense. Adding pure water to the container can enhance the cleansing effect.
Unrecommended Cleansing Methods
1. Saltwater Cleansing
We strongly discourage the use of saltwater for crystal cleansing. Many crystals can be damaged or develop a frosted appearance after being soaked in saltwater. Every year, numerous customers report changes in their crystals’ appearance after using this method.
2. Small Stone Cleansing
Despite being a common practice, using small stones to cleanse crystals is not recommended. Ordinary small stones lack special cleansing properties. Sometimes, the crystal may seem cleaner after this treatment, creating an illusion of successful purification. In reality, clean small stones, being a type of crystal, absorb negative energy from the crystal through osmosis until their energy levels equalize. This method doesn’t completely remove negative energy from the crystal. Moreover, the small stones that have absorbed negative energy cannot self - purify, rendering them ineffective after one use.
