When you bring a new crystal into your home, it's essential to cleanse it. Crystals absorb energy from their surroundings, and cleansing resets their vibrational frequency.
Top Cleansing Methods
- Moonlight: The safest and most magical way to cleanse any crystal. Leave them on your windowsill or outside overnight during a full moon.
- Smudging: Use Sage, Palo Santo, or incense. Pass your crystal through the smoke for a few minutes while setting a clearing intention.
- Water: Hold your crystal under running water (a natural stream is best, but tap water works). Warning: Do not use water for soft or porous stones like Selenite or Malachite!
- Earth: Bury your crystal in soil for 24 hours to let the earth absorb any negative energies.
Once your crystals are cleansed, don't forget to charge them with your specific intentions. Hold them in your hands, close your eyes, and state what you want the crystal to help you achieve.
