HOW TO CLEAR YOUR CRYSTALS
SHIPRA SRIVASTAVAShare
To keep your crystals energetically clear and vibrant, regular cleansing is essential. You can place them in a bowl of Himalayan or sea salt to absorb negativity, or use sound tools like a bell or singing bowl to break up stagnant energy—your crystal can even sit inside the bowl. Moonlight is a gentle method; simply leave your crystal on a windowsill or outside overnight to soak up lunar energy. Burning cleansing herbs like white sage, palo santo, or cedar can also clear unwanted energy through smoke. For a refreshing cleanse, run your crystal under flowing water or place it in a water bowl—just be sure it's not water-soluble first!
🧂 Salt
Place your crystal in a bowl of Himalayan salt or sea salt for several hours or overnight. Salt absorbs stagnant or negative energy. (Avoid this method for soft or porous stones like selenite or malachite.)
🔔 Sound
Use a singing bowl, tuning fork, or simply ring a bell to break up and release dense energy. You can even place your crystal inside a singing bowl for a deeper vibrational cleanse.
🌕 Moonlight
Set your crystals on a windowsill or outside overnight during a full moon or moonlit night. The moon’s energy gently clears and recharges your crystals with divine feminine light.
🌿 Herbs
Burn sacred herbs like white sage, palo santo, or cedar, and pass your crystals through the smoke. This traditional practice clears away heavy or unwanted energy.
💧 Water
Rinse your crystals under running water (like a stream or tap), or soak them briefly in a bowl of water. Be sure your crystal is not water-soluble—stones like selenite, kyanite, and pyrite should never be cleansed with water.
