CLEANSING GEMSTONES
Cleansing crystals is an essential practice to maintain their optimal energetic qualities. Just as we cleanse our living spaces to remove dust and clutter, cleansing gemstones removes any accumulated negative energies, allowing them to function optimally. Beyond their physical appearance, crystals absorb energies from their surroundings and interactions, requiring regular cleansing to release any accumulated or stagnant energy.
Before our products are shipped to you, we lovingly prepare them by cleansing each gemstone in the serene resonance of a sound bowl. This meticulous process ensures that your chosen crystal arrives in a purified state, ready to infuse your life with their positive energies and support from the moment they reach your hands.
There are various methods to cleanse gemstones, each resonating differently with individuals and specific stones. Some commonly used techniques include:
- Smudging: Use sacred herbs like sage, cedar, or incense stick to cleanse your gemstones. Pass the gemstone through the smoke several times while visualising the smoke purifying the stone's energy.
- Salt Bath: Place your gemstones on a bed of dry sea salt or Himalayan salt and leave them overnight to absorb any negative energy. Ensure the stone is in a bowl or container and not in direct contact with the salt, as some stones may get damaged.
- Sound Cleansing: Use sound vibrations by placing your gemstones near or on top of a singing bowl, gong, bell, or even a tuning fork. The sound waves help to clear and reset the stone's energy.
- Selenite Cleansing: Selenite is a self-cleansing crystal. You can place your gemstones on a selenite charging plate or near a selenite wand overnight to cleanse them.
RECHARGING GEMSTONES
Recharging gemstones is essential to revitalise their energy and restore their vibrational frequencies.Just like electronic devices need to be recharged to function at their best, gemstones benefit from being recharged with energy from natural sources like sunlight or moonlight, or through setting an intention. Regularly recharging your gemstones helps to amplify their healing properties and ensures they remain powerful supporters on your spiritual journey. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to effectively recharge your gemstones:
- Moonlight: Leave your gemstones under the light of the full moon overnight. The natural energy of the moon will remove any lingering negative energies and amplify the protective properties of gemstones, making them more potent and receptive to our energy.
- Sunlight: While many gemstones benefit from sunlight, some can fade or become damaged. However, stones like Black onyx, Howlite, Jade, carnelian etc can safely be placed in sunlight for a limited time to recharge. Use caution and research the specific stone's sensitivity to sunlight.
- Earth Connection: Bury your gemstones in the soil (preferably in a plant pot) for a day or two. The Earth's natural energy can cleanse and revitalise the stones.
- Visualisation and Intent: Hold your gemstone in your hands and visualise pure white light surrounding and infusing the stone with revitalising energy. Focus your intention on recharging and purifying the gemstones.
- Other Crystals for Charging: Use other cleansing and charging stones like citrine, clear quartz, or carnelian. Place your gemstones alongside these stones to enhance their energy and restore their vitality.
Additional Tips:
- Intent Matters: Approach the process with clear intentions for cleansing and recharging the gemstones.
- Regular Cleansing: Schedule regular recharging sessions, especially if the crystals are frequently used or if they've been exposed to heavy energies.
- Research Specific Stones: Some stones may have unique preferences for charging methods, so research individual properties to ensure the best approach. For example, certain stones are not suitable for submerging under water and some stones are not suitable for charging under moonlight or sunlight.
