The Importance of Cleansing Your Crystals
Crystals absorb negative energy, so it's crucial to cleanse them regularly (ideally monthly) to ensure they continue to function at their full potential.
One of the most popular cleansing methods is smoke cleansing, a practice rooted in ancient Indigenous traditions. Smoke cleansing involves using the smoke of smoldering herbs, like sage, to remove negative energy from objects, spaces, and people.
- How to Smoke Cleanse: Use a sage bundle or incense in a well-ventilated room (open a window!). Hold the crystals in the smoke, visualizing the crystal being cleansed with new, refreshing energy. Ensure you use a heat-safe container to catch any embers.
