Cleanse
- Full Moon : Place your stones in the light of a full moon. Leave the stones overnight to cleanse (or as long as is practical in your situation)
- Sea Salt – place stone downward in sea salt for 24 hours.
- Sea Salt Water – If you’re lucky, you’re near to an ocean and can use natural ocean water. If not, mix sea salt into water (1tsp in a glass of water is sufficient) and let the stone soak up to 24 hours.
- Smudge – use sage, sweetgrass, frankincense or cedar. Allow the stone to rest afterwards.
- Spring Water – especially for feminine or watery stones, place in natural spring water.
- Tumbled Hematite/Quartz – place stone in a bowl with either hematite or quartz.
- Quick Cleansings : run cool tap water over the stone with your intention of cleansing.
- Earth – bury the stone in earth for 24 hours to a week. (Make sure you mark where you bury the stone!)
NOTE : Salt or Earth can be harmful to some stones or jewelry. Take caution before using this method. ALSO, do not use warm or hot water and this could damage the stones. Sunlight can damage stones.
Activate
Crystals work best when activated for a specific purpose. First, make sure the crystal is right for your purpose. Next, hold the crystal in your hands and visualize the energy or light coming from it. While holding the crystal, think about the benefits that the crystal can give you and how you would like the crystal to help you. Verbalize your intention to solidify it.
