In the world of metaphysics, crystals and gemstones are seen
as powerful tools. They can be used for healing, communication and protection
to name a few. Although many people know that these precious stones have a
variety of uses, few know how to activate this power and keep it clean. You can
have a piece of jewelry for decades and never 'wake it up'.
Cleansing, Clearing and Programming
Cleansing, Clearing and Programming
There are a myriad of ways to
cleanse your stones. First, I will tell you how I prefer to cleanse and program
my stones, and then I will let you know some other methods. You can do what is
best for you, and for your stones. What works well for one stone may not be
optimal for another.
For instance, not all stones
can handle salt. Salt will create pits in the stone’s surface and can even eat
through some stones. Water seems pretty innocuous; however some stones are
water soluble. Some stones fade in the sunlight. You can see where I am going
with this.
One method that does not have
ill effect on any crystal or gemstone is cleansing through energy. Energy like
Reiki or the White Light will cleanse a stone and help you to program it for its
purpose.
If you are unfamiliar with the Light White
you can find more information on it, and a brief meditation using the White
Light. Find the information here
General
cleansing methods include:
Water – Running warm water over your
crystals while gently rubbing them and sending them loving energy. Be careful
of water soluble stones like selenite.
Salt Water – Place your stones in salt
water [ocean water is best], or dip them in it. Generally it is best not to
leave most stones in salt water as the salt will eat most stones over time.
Salt – While salt is an angelic
substance and a great cleanser, it is NOT good for most stones. It is great for
baths and showers however.
Earth – Burying your stones in the
Earth [this includes the soil of houseplants] refreshes them and also gives
energy back to the mother – Mother Earth that is.
Sunlight/Moonlight – I personally
always place jewelry on the windowsill after I wear it. Most stones love the
sunlight and moonlight [not to mention the rain] However, you must be careful
with colored gemstones as they can fade.
Sound – Playing crystal bowls, toning,
playing classical or new age music is good for cleansing crystals.
Smudging – You can burn incense or sage
around your stones to cleanse them.
Crystals – Yes, you can actually
cleanse a crystal with a crystal! The most common way to do this is to have an
Amethyst cluster to place your other stones upon.
All
crystals and gemstones are energized by your love, so give them some of your
energy and they will energize you in return.
