How to Cleanse Your Crystals – One Feather Wellness

Cleanse Your Crystals

Your crystals can get “dirty” when taking on the energy of people and their surroundings. Certain crystals store energy more than others, and will start working in a negative way if not taken care of properly. Just like hanging out with friends that have a lot of emotional baggage, your crystals can accumulate negative emotion and not be effective healers. When that happens, it’s time to cleanse them!

Sage Smudge

You’ve probably seen little bundles of sage for sale. These are known as smudge sticks. They’re often bundled with lavender or other aromatic herbs. When lit, the stream of smoke cleanses and dispels negative energy. To use it to cleanse your sage, simply light your sage and hold your crystals in the stream of the smoke. I keep my sage in a shell so the sparks don’t result in an unwanted fire.

Sun/Moon Bath

Let your crystals take a sun or moon bath. When using the sun, be careful with certain crystals because the sun’s rays can bleach their color (like amethyst and citrine). Simply limit the time they spend in the sun, and avoid direct sunlight. Moonlight will cleanse your crystals and help them elevate to their highest vibration. The light of the full moon is especially powerful.

Quartz Clusters

Certain crystals in the quartz family will cleanse and charge other crystals. If you have a citrine, clear quartz or amethyst cluster, you can set your wearable crystals on top of it at night for cleansing and charging.

Rice Bowl

Just like it would absorb water after your phone has fallen into water, rice will absorb your crystals’ negative energy. Place your crystals or your crystal jewelry pieces in a shallow bowl of rice
