2. 1. Breath
When you first buy your crystal, one of the
simplest methods of instant cleansing is to hold
your crystal in your hands and then with the
intention of cleansing it, gently blow your breath
on the crystal.
As you are doing this, you are adding your life-
force energy or prana onto the crystal and this will
remove or negate all the energy left by other
people; of course this will not remove physical dirt
and dust.

3. 2. Water

Most crystal can be washed in running water. A word of
caution, there are crystals that can dissolve in water, a few
examples are Selenite, Kyanite and Azurite, or any of the
soft crystals. For these you can use a damp cloth to wipe
off the physical dirt.
Some books will tell you that you need to use sea water or
spring water, but sometimes this is not possible, so use
the purest water you can, with little to no chemicals in it.
It is also recommended that you regularly wash the
physical dirt from all your crystals. Sometimes this is
forgotten if you use the sunlight or moonlight option of
cleansing.

3. Sunlight
Place your crystals in the early morning sun to
energize and cleanse your crystals. A word of
caution, crystals such as amethyst and fluorite
will fade if left in the sun too often for too long. It
is also a good idea to cover your crystals with a
piece of net so the birds will not take them.

4. Moonlight
Place your crystal outside on a full moon to
infuse them with moon energy. Moon energy
is a soft feminine energy so this is a very
gentle way of cleansing. It is also a good idea
to cover them with a piece of net so the night
animals will not take them

5. Earth Cleansing
Another popular method is to bury your crystal in
the earth. Some say this is the only way. There are
a few precautions with this method, remember
where you bury them and don’t bury them too
deep.
Sometimes you will never find them again as
Mother Earth will reclaim them. A good way is to
bury them in a pot so you will be able to find them
easily. You will need to rinse them off when you
dig them up as they will have dirt on them.

6. Smudging
White sage has been used for cleansing by native
cultures for many years and is a very effective
method of cleaning many crystals at once. If you
have a large collection it would take you all night
to put them out in the moonlight. You can
smudge them using a white sage smudge stick or
white sage incense. Light your incense or
smudge stick and waft the smoke over your
crystals.

Sandalwood incense is also a good cleanser. If
you don’t like these fragrances, almost any
incense will help to cleanse your crystals. You
can also use resin on a charcoal block,
frankincense, myrrh or a special crystal
cleansing blend are good options. By using
resin and charcoal blocks you can close the
door to a room and do the whole room at
once.

7. Reiki
If you have been attuned to Reiki you can use
Reiki energy for cleansing crystals. If you are a
Reiki level 1, just hold the crystals in your
hands and with intention send Reiki healing to
your crystals. For level 2 practitioners, use your
Reiki symbols over your crystals and then send
Reiki to them.

8. Other Crystals
Amethyst flat clusters are great for putting other
crystal upon; just by leaving your crystals upon the
amethyst for a few hours they will be energetically
cleansed. Geodes and Clear Quartz clusters are also
excellent to use.
It doesn’t matter which method you use the
important thing to remember is to do
something, and to both physically and energetically
cleanse all your crystals regularly. Always cleanse
them after a healing or after you have been using
them on yourself.
