Crystals have been used for healing and energy shifting more millenniums. There are a wide variety of crystals, in varying hardness, each with their own energy frequency. Crystals are known to localize, condense, store, and transmit energies.
Caring for your crystal is as important as caring for any living creature. Your crystal has an energy field, and by taking care of your crystal you can assure that the energy is pure and unobstructed. Since crystals can transmit energy as well as receive, it is reasonable to clear your crystal to make sure that no negative energies are held within your healing crystal or passed on to others during a healing process.
It is easy to cleanse a crystal. There are many techniques used, and you can choose the one that works for your circumstances.
Placing your crystal in a stream of running water will cleanse your crystal. In my case I would not employ this technique as my nearby creek is far too public, and I would be concerned about my precious stones disappearing.
Salt has been used for cleansing a crystal as well. Check with your local gem store or online to assure that your crystal will not be adversely affected by the salts. You can use any salt, though some prefer sea salt or the more pricey dead sea salts. Place your crystal on a bed of salt so the negative energies can discharge into the salts. Take care in how you dispose of the used salts, do not throw into your garden since too much salt will poison the soil.
Another method for cleansing a crystal is moonlight. Placing crystals in a window ledge or outside in the light of a full moon is a great way to cleanse and replenish your crystals. I have used this method on many occasions, placing a bowl with both crystals and gemstones outside to celebrate the connectivity of the moon, the earth, and the reflective light.
How often do you cleanse your crystals? You can go by feel, but many cleanse their crystals after they have been handled by others, used for a healing process for others, or even an energy release within yourself.
Crystals are amazing energetic tools that are both pleasing to the eyes and well as our spirit. Taking care of our healing crystals will assure that a clear, welcoming energy flows in and around for all.
