How to Cleanse a Crystal

Once you purchase a crystal it's important to cleanse it before using it. This removes any energy it gathered before being purchased and, in order to make it "yours," you must cleanse and re-charge it with your energy. Read on to learn more.

Instructions

    • 1

      Place the crystal in a bowl of salt water for 24 hours. Add just enough salt so there's not a pile of it on the bottom of the bowl.

    • 2

      Dump the salt water and place the crystal back into the bowl. Place the bowl in a spot in your house where it can sit in the sunlight. Let it sit there for another 24 hours (this re-charges the crystal).

    • 3

      After re-charging it, place the crystal in your hands and let your energy flow into it. You can do this by cupping the crystal in both of your hands, closing your eyes and 'imagining' your energy flowing from your hands to the crystal.

Tips & Warnings

  • To house your crystal, place it in a bag made of natural fibers (i.e., leather).

  • If you want to use your crystal for something other than what you were originally using it for, cleanse and re-charge it first.

  • Never let anyone else touch your crystal! If this happens, cleanse your crystal and re-charge it with your energy.
