MOONLIGHT

How to cleanse your crystals by moonlight.

• Materials: Crystals, a safe outdoor or windowsill spot, optional cloth or tray.

• ​Steps:

  • Choose a clear night, ideally during a full moon for strongest energy​

  • Place crystals on a natural surface (e.g., cloth, tray, or directly on the ground)

  • Set them outside or on a windowsill where moonlight can reach them.

  • Leave crystals overnight (6-12 hours) to absorb lunar energy

  • Retrieve crystals in the morning; they're cleansed and recharged.

• Tips:

  • Set an intention for cleansing while placing crystals​

  • Safe for all crystals, no risk of damage

  • Full moon is ideal, but any moonlight works.

  • Cleanse monthly or after heavy use.

• Caution:

  • Protect crystals from weather (e.g., rain) if outdoors; use a covered area if needed.​

SUNLIGHT

How to cleanse your crystals in the sunlight.

• Materials: Crystals, safe outdoor or sunny windowsill spot, optional cloth or tray.

• Steps:

  • Choose a clear, sunny day for optimal sunlight.​

  • Place crystals on a natural surface (e.g., cloth, tray, or ground) in direct sunlight.

  • Leave crystals for 1-4 hours to absorb solar energy (avoid prolonged exposure).

  • Retrieve crystals once cleansed and recharged.

• Tips:

  • Set a cleansing intention while placing crystals​.

  • Best for morning or late afternoon sunlight to avoid intense heat.

  • Cleanse monthly or after heavy use.

• Caution:

  • Avoid for light-sensitive crystals (e.g., amethyst, rose quartz) as they may fade.​

  • Check crystal compatibility to prevent damage.

  • Protect from overheating; limit exposure for delicate stones.

INTENTION

How to cleanse your crystals with intention.

• Materials: Crystals, quiet space, focused mindset.

• Steps:

  • Find a calm, distraction-free environment.​

  • Hold the crystal in your hands or place it in front of you.

  • Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to centre yourself.

  • Focus on your intention to clear negative or stagnant energy from the crystal.

  • Visualise white light or positive energy enveloping the crystal, purifying it.

  • Optionally, speak or think a clear intention (e.g., "I cleanse this crystal of all negative energy").

  • Continue for 1-5 minutes until you feel the crystal is cleansed.

• Tips:

  • Use this method anywhere, anytime; no physical tools required.​

  • Safe for all crystals, including delicate or water-sensitive ones.

  • Combine with other methods (e.g., moonlight, smudging) for added effect.

  • Cleanse regularly, especially after heavy use or emotional work.

• Caution:

  • Stay focused to maintain the strength of your intention.​

  • If distracted, pause and restart when you can fully concentrate.

SAGE SMUDGING

How to cleanse your crystals using Sage Smudging.

• Materials: Crystals, sage smudge stick or loose sage, fire-safe bowl, lighter/matches, optional feather or fan.

• Steps:

  • Light the sage smudge stick or loose sage in a fire-safe bowl until it produces smoke.​

  • Hold the crystal in your hand or place it on a surface.

  • Pass the crystal through the sage smoke or waft the smoke over it using a feather fan.

  • Focus on your intention to clear negative or stagnant energy from the crystal.

  • Smudge for 30 seconds to 2 minutes until you feel the crystal is cleansed.

  • Extinguish the sage safely in the bowl or under running water.

• Tips:

  • Open a window to let negative energy escape and ensure proper ventilation.​

  • Safe for all crystals, including water-sensitive or delicate stones.

  • Cleanse monthly or after intense use (e.g., healing sessions).

  • Combine with intention-setting for a stronger effect.

• Caution:

  • Handle burning sage carefully to avoid fire hazards.​

  • Ensure the area is well-ventilated to avoid smoke irritation.

RUNNING WATER

How to cleanse your crystals with running water.

• Materials: Crystals (water-safe only), access to running water (e.g., faucet, stream), optional towel.

• Steps:

  • Confirm your crystals are water-safe (e.g., quartz, amethyst; avoid selenite, malachite).​

  • Hold the crystal under running water (natural stream or faucet) for 1-2 minutes.

  • Visualise negative energy washing away as the water flows over the crystal.

  • Set an intention for cleansing (e.g., "I purify this crystal of all negative energy").

  • Pat the crystal dry with a towel or let it air dry.

• Tips:

  • Use cool or lukewarm water to avoid thermal shock.​

  • Natural running water (e.g., a stream) ideal but not required.

  • Cleanse monthly or after heavy use.

  • Combine with intention-setting for enhanced cleansing.

• Caution:

  • Avoid for water-sensitive crystals (e.g., selenite, halite, lapis lazuli) to prevent damage.​

  • Check crystal hardness (Mohs scale 6+ is generally safe) before using water.

SELENITE AND CLEAR QUARTZ

How to cleanse your crystals with Selenite and Clear Quartz.

• Materials: Crystals to cleanse, selenite or clear quartz (or both), flat surface or selenite plate/wand.

• Steps:

  • Place selenite or clear quartz on a flat surface, or use a selenite plate/wand.​

  • Arrange crystals to be cleansed on or touching the selenite/clear quartz.

  • Set an intention to clear negative or stagnant energy from the crystals.

  • Leave crystals in contact for 4-24 hours (overnight is ideal).

  • Remove crystals; they're cleansed and recharged.

• Tips:

  • Selenite and clear quartz are self-cleansing, so no aditional cleansing is needed for them​

  • Safe for all crystals, including water-sensitive or delicate stones.

  • Use a selenite wand to "sweep" over crystals for quicker cleansing (1-5 minutes).

  • Cleanse monthly or after heavy use.

• Caution:

  • Keep selenite away from water to prevent damage.​

  • Ensure crystals are in direct contact with selenite/clear quartz for best results.

SOUND FREQUENCIES

How to cleanse your crystals with a singing bowl.

• Materials: Crystals, singing bowl (metal or crystal), mallet, optional cushion mat.

• Steps:

  • Place the singing bowl on a stable surface or cushion.​

  • Position crystals around the bowl or on a nearby surface (not inside the bowl).

  • Gently strike the bowl with the mallet to create a sound, then rub the mallet around the rim to sustain vibrations.

  • Focus on your intention to clear negative or stagnant energy from the crystals.

  • Let the sound bathe the crystals for 5-10 minutes.

  • Stop playing the bowl when you feel the crystals are cleansed.

• Tips:

  • Safe for all crystals, including delicate or water-sensitive ones.​

  • Visualise sound waves purifying the crystals for enhanced effect.

  • Cleanse monthly or after heavy use (e.g., healing work).

  • Combine with intention-setting for deeper cleansing.

• Caution:

  • Keep crystals outside the bowl to avoid damage fro vibrations.​

  • Ensure a quiet space to maximise the sound's cleansing effect.

EARTH BURIAL

How to cleanse your crystals with an Earth Burial.

• Materials: Crystals, safe outdoor soil spot, optional cloth or container.

• Steps:

  • Choose a clean, undisturbed patch of soil (garden or natural ground).​

  • Wrap crystals in a natural cloth (e.g., cotton) or place in a breathable container to protect them (optional).

  • Dig a small hole and gently bury the crystals in the soil.

  • Set an intention to clear negative or stagnant energy as you cover them.

  • Leave crystals buried for 24-72 hours (1-3 days).

  • Unearth crystals, brush off dirt, and rinse if needed (for water-safe crystals).

• Tips:

  • Safe for most durable crystals (e.g.,quartz, jasper); check for softness or porosity.​

  • Use a marked spot to easily locate crystals later.

  • Cleanse during a new or full moon for enhanced energy.

  • Ideal for grounding crystals or after heavy use.

• Caution:

  • Avoid for soft or water-soluble crystals (e.g., selenite, malachite) to prevent damage.​

  • Ensure the burial spot is secure from animals or disturbance.
