Cleansing Methods
Smoke cleansing Move the crystal through the smoke of herbs or incense for several seconds. Let the smoke drift around it while you imagine old energy lifting away.
Sound cleansing Use a bell, chime, singing bowl, or a sound app. Hold the crystal near the sound source. Let the vibration move through it and break up anything stagnant.
Moonlight cleansing Place the crystal on a windowsill or outside where it can receive moonlight. Any moon phase works. Leave it there for a few hours or overnight. The light resets the crystal in a gentle way.
Visualization Hold the crystal in your hands. Imagine a bright white light moving through it. Picture the light clearing anything that feels heavy or dull.
