How to cleanse your crystals and healing stones
Crystals and healing stones are great supports to have in your spiritual arsenal. But how do you care for them and make sure they are operating in high vibration to support you on your spiritual journey? Make sure they’re cleansed and happy!
My favorite way to cleanse my stones is in salt. After a crystal has been in use for several days you may notice the Stone feeling heavy or dull. This is because the crystal has either taken on some lower vibrational energy (which is good!) or doesn’t have enough of a charge to continue to do it’s job. When you notice these signs in your crystal it’s time to cleanse it.
The cleansing process is simple and affordable. Cleansing in salt is also extremely effective. It cleans the stagnant energy from the stone and also recharges it so you can get back to using and displaying your beautiful crystal.
Place your crystal or stone in a bowl just big enough for the stone to fit and cover it with salt. Any salt will do, but you may find you prefer a specific salt type. If all you have on hand is regular table salt, that will work just fine. Cover the crystal with salt overnight. The next day rinse your crystal in water and let air dry. *Some crystals will break down when exposed to water such as Selenite and Black Tourmaline. Do not rinse these crystals of the salt. Just remove them from the salt and gently remove any salt if necessary.
Overnight is long enough to cleanse the stone. If you feel like your stone has been doing a lot of heavy energetic work you may consider leaving the stone in salt for your to 3 days to give it a powerful charge.
It is important to cleanse your crystals and stones regularly to avoid filling your space with stagnant energy. The more you care for your stones and connect with them the stronger your connection with your crystal will become. Take care of your spiritual tools and they will take care of you.
