Crystals have been used for centuries to help people calm their mind, body and soul, with many believing that they have their own special source of energy that yields all sorts of benefits for the stone bearer.
Over time, however, it’s thought that this energy can change and evolve depending on what the crystals are exposed to, which is why many people carry out cleansing rituals to restore their natural balance and bring their energy back in line with yours.
There are lots of different ways you can cleanse your crystals, so you can experiment and find which methods speak to you on a deeper level.
Running water is one of the most popular ways to carry out a cleanse, with natural water sources the preferred option to help neutralise negative energy, but you can always run it under the tap if you don’t have easy access to a stream. Only use this method if your stones are hard (like amethyst), as you could damage soft or brittle crystals if you’re not careful.
Another option is to use natural light to restore balance. Ritual cleanses are often carried out at specific moments during the solar or lunar cycle, but you can easily do this if you’re pushed for time just by leaving your crystals out before nightfall and bringing it back inside mid-morning so it can bathe in both moon and sunlight.
Or you might find you prefer to use sound healing to return your crystals’ natural energy. This could involve the use of bells, singing bowls or even chanting by yourself, but whatever you decide to use you just need to make sure the sound is loud enough for the stone to be able to absorb the vibrations.
