How to Cleanse Your Healing Crystals

Crystals have been known in the art of healing for centuries. They hold powerful and healing vibrations which we can use to help ease our worries, stimulate chakras, protect our auric field, enhance intuition and more.

The main reason why crystals, among other stones, carry special attention for us is their unique ability to vibrate on an extremely pure level. Each crystal hold its own natural shape and design which connects with those found in our body.

When we find a crystal that strongly resonates with us and our energy, we feel real connection and energy vibrations coming from it.

Using crystals for self - healing is an extremely valuable tool and is very easy.

When we learn how to use crystals to benefit our well - being, it is also important to learn how to take care of them. Crystals might need cleansing once in a while or regularly. It all depends how often and what you are using them for. Use your intuition on how often you feel you want to cleanse your precious stones. And also what method you want to use for it.

Below are six very easy cleansing methods which can be used interchangeably at any time.

Your intuition is the guide in which method is the best for you!

Method 1. Moonlight

Crystals can be cleansed of negative energy as well as charged using the energizing rays of the Moon.

Place your crystal in the direct line of moonlight for the entire night. The best time is during Full Moon.

The strong Full Moon lasts for 3 days, so it is fine if you miss the actual day of a Full Moon. You can catch those moonlight rays on the day before, and day after a Full Moon. The crystals will still get the full cleansing session.

Method 2. Sunlight

Crystals also can be cleansed using the rays of the Sun. You can put them out in the Sun for a few hours.

There is no certain time of the day when crystals are cleansed faster or better. Just feel when you personally have the strongest connection with the Sun and place the crystals for a Sun bath. My strongest connection with the Sun is at sunrise, therefore I place my crystals for cleansing in the early morning hours.

This method is particularly beneficial for red, orange and yellow stones. For crystals like Amethyst, Aquamarine, Citrine, Fluorite, Topaz, Turquoise, and the list continues, it is better to use an alternative method to sunlight as these stones might fade or change their color.

Method 3. Sound

Everything has a vibration, especially sound. Sound bowls can help cleanse crystals and recharge with positive energy. Crystal or Tibetan sound bowls work perfectly for that.

Simply have your crystal near the bowl as you play it. You can run a tuning fork over the crystals or use a bell or drums. If the chanting music is coming from a stereo device put the crystals in front of the speakers and turn up the music.

This method is particularly beneficial for blue, purple, pink and white stones.

Method 4. Reiki

You can charge your crystals with Reiki energy. Hold the crystals in between your hands during the practice while sending your intentions and the energy to the Spirit.

This method is also particularly beneficial for blue, purple, pink and white stones.

Method 5. Grounding

Mother Earth and her own vibrational energies can help crystals to cleanse and re-tune themselves back to their original vibrations.

Bury your crystal in the ground for 24 hours, or up to a week depending on the energy you want to infuse. You can use a pot with soil in it, otherwise mark the area where your crystals are buried.

This method is particularly beneficial for earthy stones that are dark in color such as black, green, brown, deep reds and grey.

Method 6. Water

A clear cool water bath works very well on most crystals. Simply place your crystals under a light stream of cool water in the sink. Visualize how the water is cleansing out any negative energy. Send positive vibrations to the crystal and set your intentions.

This method is not good for particular crystals like Desert Rose, Halite, Himalayan Salt (Salt Lamp), Malachite, Selenite.

Whichever way you decide to cleanse your crystals, remember to set your intention and open your mind and heart to receiving healing vibrations. Also remember to give thanks and gratitude toward your crystals.
