Crystals absorb energy from their environment and require regular cleansing – this is particularly important during times of transition like an eclipse.
Black Tourmaline is one of the most powerful negative energy shields and blockers, protecting against electromagnetic pollution, technological harm and projection, harmful energy projection and psychic attack.
Fuchsite helps to clear and heal heart energy, restoring empathy and compassion. Additionally, Fuchsite stimulates intuition while supporting an holistic and healthy lifestyle.
Saltwater
Crystals are exposed to many different energies over their lifespan, so regular cleansing can help clear away negative energies that accumulate within them. Some effective techniques for doing this are running water, sage/smudging/light purifying; these methods can be combined as appropriate by your intuition. There are specific crystals that can go into water and you can check them by clicking the link attached here.
Saltwater cleanses are considered one of the most efficient ways to rid crystals of negative energy, although not all stones can be immersed completely in water (particularly those made of porous material or with metal inclusions). If this method suits your crystal, simply place it in a bowl with cool running water for several minutes (or overnight), visualizing any negativity being removed by its flow over your stone and off into its surroundings.
Burying crystals is another effective method for cleansing them, particularly those that possess grounding properties such as hematite, smoky quartz and tiger’s eye. Although this process works on all sorts of crystals, if negative energies have manifested within your personal space or home this should become essential.
Selenite can act as an effective energy purifier, helping cleanse all energy fields including your own aura. Placing it in the home also is said to repel unwanted energy, keeping harmful people and situations away. Black tourmaline also serves to shield its user from negative vibrations by emitting an etheric shield that shields it.
Smudging is a Native American practice of burning sage and immersing crystals in its smoke. This method can help cleanse crystals of any built-up energy, and is one of the most popular approaches for clearing them of unwanted energy. You can do it alone or with someone who will hold and stroke the crystal as you take in its healing smoke; alternatively you could leave your crystal outside to receive its purifying benefits under sunlight or moonlight.
Sage
Sage is an effective crystal cleansing solution and easily available at supermarkets or herb stores. Sage’s purifying smoke has long been used to transform negative energy into positive vibrations, making it an excellent way to clear away negative vibes and ready your crystal for new uses. Regularly cleansing crystals is especially crucial if they serve as protection, since their cells can absorb negativity over time.
Some crystals require frequent cleansing, so it’s wise to have various cleansing methods at your disposal. Popular options for doing this are burying, smudging and soaking – no matter which approach you take it’s always important to follow your intuition and set an intention for cleansing the crystal.
Salt burying is another popular way of purifying crystals. This method works particularly well when used with protective stones like black tourmaline that can ward off negative energies. Place your stone in a bowl of dry brown rice and completely submerge it before placing it under salt; rice is believed to absorb any unwanted energies while protecting the crystal from being dislodged or lost from its place of protection.
This technique can also be used to cleanse crystals that don’t respond well to direct sunlight, like selenite. If you don’t wish to bury them in rice, simply place them in an earthenware or glass container filled with sea salt and cover the entire surface area completely; this technique draws out any negative energy before encasing it within its shell and discarding.
Healers often advise using sage in your home or office to dispel negativity and improve air quality. Simply open a window, hold a crystal close, and blow burning sage smoke over them; this method has been said to purge both spirits as well as negative energies within a space, helping crystals retain their healing properties for longer. You could also try Palo Santo smudging for similar benefits. It can be found both as sticks or cones from Ecuador and Peru that has been turned into incense.
Smudging
Crystals that absorb negative energies may retain these vibes for some time. Regular cleansing and recharging sessions are the best way to remove them, restoring them back to their natural state and opening them up to positive vibrations.
One effective method for clearing crystals is using purifying smoke from a smudging herb such as sage, palo santo or cedar to rid your home and crystals of negativity and impurities. Such herbs have long been believed to do just this – leaving both your space and its crystals fresh and free from negativity.
Smudging crystals that may be damaged by water, like black tourmaline and amethyst, is an ideal method for cleansing them while simultaneously clearing an entire space or room. Smudge your crystals during eclipses (both solar and lunar), as this often produces significant energetic shifts; however, you don’t need to wait – any time your crystals feel they have negative energy attached is the perfect time for cleansing smudge them as soon as you detect it!
Before beginning your smudging ritual, it is essential to set your intentions. Think about what you wish to release or bring into the space or crystals and create a mantra which expresses these intentions – this way you’ll remain focused and grounded during the smudging process.
Once your smudging materials are prepared, begin at the front door and work your way around your space. Make sure all windows and curtains remain open so fresh air can come into the room, and relocate any crystals which could be affected by smoke away from their current locations.
Once finished, extinguish the smudge stick or bundle in its ceramic dish and allow it to cool before extinguishing it completely. Make sure not to get any water onto your smudging herb as this could harm crystals and compromise their effectiveness. Be sure to thank them for all their assistance while taking this opportunity to recharge their positive energy with positive intention.
Light
No matter whether your crystals are kept at home or carried with you, it’s essential that they be regularly cleansed. Like anything, crystals absorb energy from their surroundings, becoming discordant from their natural vibration. Luckily, crystal cleansing is a straightforward and quick process which only takes some of your time.
There are various methods for cleaning crystals, from burying them in salt (though be wary as too much can damage the crystal) to running cool water over them, to leaving them out in sunlight or moonlight (ideally using a moonbeam pendulum for optimal results).
Smudging crystals with herbs that emanate positive vibes is another fantastic way to cleanse them. While sage is the go-to choice, lavender and sweetgrass also can be used to perform this ancient technique used by Native Americans to purify spaces – it will leave your crystals feeling as good as new!
Once your crystals have been cleansed, it’s a great idea to place or carry them with you as a way of protecting the energy within your home or pocket. If you find that negative energy tends to surround you, carrying protective stones like black tourmaline or amethyst with you may help ground, balance and instil confidence even during times when feeling off balance or overwhelmed.
Cleanse your entire home’s energy using crystals by placing purifying stones like selenite or pyrite near every door or window – this will prevent bad energies from entering and is particularly effective in major rooms like living room, kitchen and office.
