Crystals have been used for healing and divination for thousands of years. But just as they give off energy, they take in energy, too.
In order to rid a crystal of any unwanted energy, whether a piece of crystal jewellery, a crystal pendulum for divination purposes or individual rocks used for crystal healing, its important that each crystal is properly cleansed before its used in any kind of healing or divination procedure.
How To Tell Whether A Crystal Needs Charging?
Whenever you acquire a new crystal, it should always be cleansed. All sorts of impressions will have been made on it between the time it was mined and the time it came into your ownership.
This unwanted energy isnt necessary negative, although some of it may be. Even if theres no negative energy within your crystal, its important that its tuned in to you and you alone. Only then can you endow the crystals with your own personal energy.
Sometimes, a crystal will appear dull. This is most obvious in crystal prisms, but can also be seen in stones such as Jasper and Tigers Eye. There are two reasons for this dullness. One is that the crystal is resting, in which case you shouldnt ask anything of it. The second is that it needs cleansing.
If you think your crystal needs to rest, leave it in a quiet place for 24 hours. If its still dull after 24 hours, you can be certain it needs cleansing.
Even if nobody else has handled your crystal, it may have picked up other energies from the atmosphere around you, especially if its been used in particularly intense or emotional work. Those used for crystal healing need cleansing often.
Crystals used to protect or bring positive energy to the home or workplace will probably need to be cleansed more often than those that are kept in a dark place and only brought out occasionally. Again, check their shineif theyre dull, theyre either tired or need charging. Home or workplace crystals that are tired should be remove and left in a quiet place to rest.
How To Cleanse Your Crystals
How to thoroughly cleanse and re-charge a crystal depends a lot on the type of crystal. Just as each have their own qualities, they also have their own requirements. However, there are general methods that can be used.
Clean busy crystals at least once a week. If you consult your crystal pendulum daily, its best to have two so that theres always one to use while ones being cleansed. The same goes for stones used in crystal healing.
It isnt difficult and we owe it to our crystals. After all, they rarely refuse to work for us.
