HOW TO CLEANSE YOUR CRYSTALS
HOW TO CLEANSE AND CARE FOR YOUR CRYSTALS: There are many ways to cleanse your crystals. You will find that the internet is filled with articles and information on how to keep your crystals clean and how to care for them and they long lasting well being. For me, when it comes to the care of your healing crystals , it's much more than just clean them once in a while. For crystals not only need to be cleansed but they need to be recharged, re-energized. Additionally, not all crystals can be cleansed the same way. That is why you need to know your crystals and how to care for them.
1. One of the methods to clean your newly bought crystals is to classify them according to their type, and soak them in salty water for three days. Afterwards, rinse them thoroughly and put them to dry out in the Sun. Still better variation of this method is to use seawater. Purified water with himalayan rough salt is a much beter option, than regular tap water with regular salt.
2. Healing stones and crystals can be quickly cleaned by keeping them under the flow of lukewarm water for three to five minutes. Beware: some crystals should not be put into water, especially soft stones like azurite, angelite, phenakite, boji stone, selenite and similar.
3. The least invasive method of cleaning crystals would be exposing them to incense burning smoke. The incense of herbal origin, like cedar, salvia, juniper, or pine tree works the best. Put the incense stick bellow your crystal, allowing for a better exposure of your crystal to the smoke. This is an excellent way of purifying yourself and your environment. My favorite of all time is WHITE SAGE, no matter what form of cleaning your crystals you use, it is always a great idea to burn incense to clean not only your crystals but your environment and yourself! Besides, crystals love Sage!!
4. Here is another possibility: crystals can be cleaned by using essential oils. Soak them in a container filled with distilled water in which a few drops of essential oil have been added. The juniper essential oil is especially suitable due to its capability of releasing the crystals from the accumulated negative energies. For cleaning stones used in emotional healing, lavender oil is the best choice, since it has soothing and balancing features. I personally love lavender. Make sure to buy organic essential oils.
5. One of the means of cleaning crystals is to bury them in the earth. This method should not be used when there is iron present in the composition of the crystal as a dominant element, e.g., hematite and tiger iron. Especially unrefined energies can be taken out of the crystal in this way. It can be a sort of a rebirth for the particular crystal to be put back in the embrace of the earth - the environment which it has been taken from originally.
6. Place your crystals for about 10 minutes on top of a piece of Selenite and you are done. Selenite has the ability to cleanse and charge your other crystals.
The benefits of cleansing your crystals are infinite.

Charging Your crystals
How-To Guide for Charging your crystals
Crystals hold powerful, healing vibrations which you can use to help ease worries, bring luck, stimulate chakras, enhance your intuition and more. Crystals and stones have long been used in healing rituals because of their ability to vibrate on an extremely pure level. Each crystal holds its own geometric pattern which mimics those found in our body and in nature. When a charged crystal is placed close to the body, the energy waves or frequency of the body tries to tune into the crystal, which in turn helps to stimulate healing.
Using crystals for self-healing is an extremely valuable tool and is very easy. It all starts with your intention. Hold your crystal, quiet your mind and offer your intention to the crystal such as- “I wish to use this crystal to help stimulate the healing of……”
Choose a Charging Method (use your intuition to guide you to the best and most appropriate method):
1.) Sunlight or Moonlight: Crystals can be charged using the rays of the sun or moon as they are both very energizing. This method can also be adopted to cleanse your crystals of negative energy. Place your crystal in the direct line of moon or sun light for 24 hours. (Some crystals may fade in the Sun such as amethyst, so be mindful of this.)
Placing your crystals out on a new or full Moon can also be a lot more potent- place them out on a Full Moon to signify endings and a New Moon for beginnings.
The moonlight method works well with all stones and crystals.
2.) Charging Stones: Some crystals and stones are naturally charging such as selenite and quartz. You can place other crystals on top of these cleansing stones for 24 hours or until their energy is purified. Alternatively, you can use smaller pieces of cleansing crystals such as quartz and use them to surround the crystal you want to charge in a circle. This is particularly beneficial for yellow, orange, red, grey and white stones.
3.) Nature Method: Place your crystal in a healthy garden or in a flower pot with lots of healthy, fresh leaves growing. Charge it up for 24 hours. This is particularly beneficial for green, white, orange, yellow or pink colored stones.
4.) Grounding Method: Bury your crystal into the ground for 24 hours, or up to a week depending on the energy you want to infuse. This is particularly beneficial for earthy stones that are dark in color such as black, green, brown, deep reds and greys.
5.) Sound/Reiki: Reiki or sound bowls can also help charge crystals with positive energy. Simply practice reiki over your crystal or create a sound bath using singing bowls or gongs. This is particularly beneficial for blue, purple, pink and white stones.
Whichever way you decide to charge your crystals remember to set your intention and open your mind and heart to receiving their healing vibration. Also remember to give thanks and gratitude towards your crystal.
A Note on Choosing the Perfect Crystal for You: there are many resources out there on particular crystals and the healing benefits that they offer however, one of the best ways to choose a crystal is to follow your intuition. If you have an intention in mind, set it before you walk into the store or alternatively, ask to be guided to the perfect crystal for you. This often creates a more powerful healing experience.
