There are many points of view on crystal purification. Rely on your feelings and intuition for this. If you feel that your crystal needs to be cleaned, do so.
After working with a crystal during healing procedures, it is not recommended to expose it to cold water immediately. The crystal emits a lot of energy during operation. It can become hot and warm, not hot, but very warm. If you immerse him in cold water, his strength will quickly drain. The crystal will undergo thermal shock. Since the crystal does not expand or change its shape under the influence of heat or cold, it can crack in several places.
Crystals love to be in the Sun because they are radiant energy sources themselves. That is an excellent way to restore their energy. It would be best if you exposed them to the Sun from time to time.
Someone else's touch on your crystal
Many people don't like it when someone outside takes their crystal. They are afraid that negative vibrations can be transmitted to the crystal. As a rule, there is nothing to worry about when an ordinary person takes your crystal. But if that someone is a person who is well versed in programming and using crystals, they can put a message into your crystal. He can bring his thoughts into the crystal, and these thoughts will be transmitted through your body, your consciousness, your memory bank of the subconscious, and through all the cells of your body. Therefore, if a person who is hostile to you takes your crystal into his own hands, you need to cleanse and enlighten the crystal because you will not have firm confidence in this person's intentions. If you still have doubts, rinse your crystal under running water, hold it in the Sun, order it to clear your memory - just like you erase an old audio recording.
Crystal cleansing
External energies affect crystals in the same way as the latter affect a person. Every time you pick up a crystal, move it, or if an emotional atmosphere is heating up in your house, the crystal changes' energy slightly. To reduce external influences, regular cleaning is required. There are different techniques, but I prefer to cleanse my crystals with sound waves or sage smoke.
Place crystals under the moonlight-sunlight. To cleanse crystals with moonlight and sunlight, leave them for 24 hours on a windowsill or in your yard.
Use quartz. If you have a suitable sized quartz geode, place small crystals in it for 12-24 hours.
Cleansing with sound waves. The sound of stone and copper singing bowls can cleanse several crystals at once. If you have such a bowl, spread the crystals within reach of the sound wave and play on the bowl.
Cleansing with sage smoke. Light a bunch of sage or sage smoking sticks and let the smoke envelop the crystals. I like this technique because it allows you to clean up multiple objects at once.
Cleansing with salt or water. I often hear recommendations to immerse crystals in sea salt and fresh or seawater. I do not recommend doing this because salt and water are destructive for some stones. Never clean untreated natural crystals this way. Also, this method does not apply to:
- calcite,
- kyanite,
- moonstone,
- malachite,
- opal,
- selenite,
- topaz,
- amber.
