Why Cleansing Matters
Crystals absorb energy from their environment and from the people who handle them. Over time, this accumulated energy can dull the crystal's natural vibration, making it less effective. Regular cleansing clears this buildup and restores the stone to its original frequency.
Cleansing Methods
1. Selenite Charging Plate (Easiest Method)
Place your stones on a selenite charging plate for 6-8 hours or overnight. This is the most low-maintenance method.
2. Smoke Cleansing
Pass your crystals through the smoke of burning Palo Santo or white sage.
3. Moonlight
Place your crystals outside or on a windowsill during a full moon. Moonlight is gentle and safe for all crystals.
4. Running Water
Rinse hard, water-safe crystals under running water. Important: Not all crystals are water-safe. Avoid this method with selenite, calcite, or any soft stone.
FAQ: Crystal Cleansing
How often should I cleanse my crystals?
For crystals you use daily, cleanse weekly. For display pieces, monthly cleansing is sufficient.
Conclusion
Regular cleansing and charging are essential practices for anyone who works with crystals. The easiest approach? Invest in a selenite charging plate and make it part of your weekly routine.
