By nature, quartz crystals possess healing energies. Structurally, they consist of a perfect lattice of atoms which emit particular resonant frequencies when stimulated. They radiate energy which can be used for balancing and healing. These energy crystals can also focus and amplify the subtle energies projected by a psychic healer.
Healers and individuals using crystals for their own personal well-being should cleanse and purify new energy crystals initially, and then periodically throughout use. Cleansing crystals is a way to clear quartz of previous energies, particularly those of a disharmonious or negative nature.
Cleanse and Purify Energy Crystals for Focused Healing Energies
Energy crystals can be very potent tools for crystal healing, particularly for those who are sensitive to subtle energy. They can cleanse and purify, absorbing negative energy, and transmitting positive energy; they can store the healing energies intended by a healer; and they can direct and transmit a more intense, concentrated form of energy.
As quartz crystals easily pick up the energies of their environment and the people who may have handled them, they can at any point carry a number of conflicting energies which would ultimately disrupt any attempts at using crystals for healing. Also, every time energy crystals are used to heal a patient, they inevitably absorb some of that person’s energy input data. By cleansing crystals, all old energy is released, whether it is positive or negative in nature, or simply static energy. Then, the crystal becomes a more potent tool, a clean slate for a new energy input, such as a focused thougtform intended to transform the subtle energy bodies of someone with disease.
Methods for Cleansing Crystals for Healing
There are different ways to cleanse and purify energy crystals, from using sunlight to sea salt. Any method can be used; it is a matter of personal preference, of finding what is most effective for oneself. As energy crystals are used more and more, often one’s sensitivity to subtle energy generally increases and the practice of cleansing, re-charging, and healing with crystals becomes more intuitive in nature.
The most common method for cleansing crystals is to soak them in salt water. After gently wiping or brushing a crystal free of any physical debris, place it in a bowl, with just enough water to cover the stone. Use either spring water or distilled water. Add about one tablespoon of sea salt for every crystal being soaked. The length of time for cleansing crystals in salt water depends on how much purifying is needed. For routine cleansing, done every couple of weeks, seven hours is enough. For a new stone, or one used in intense healing, three or four days may be beneficial. Once finished, pour out the salt water, being careful not to touch the water and reabsorb the same energies that are supposed to be eliminated. Rinse any excess salt off of the crystal, and the stone is ready to be used, worn, or re-charged.
Other Methods of Cleansing Crystals
- place in direct sunlight for several days
- pack in sea salt for one or two days
- bury in the earth for two to seven days
- place in water with pennyroyal flower essence for a few minutes, using spring water or distilled water
Cleanse and purify energy crystals at least once a month, if not more to be sure there are no undesirable vibrational energies. Taking proper care of crystals will ensure more potent, focused healing stones.
