Cleansing/Charging/Preparing Crystals - Water Water is a universl cleanser. If you have access to the ocean, ocean water is wonderful. If not, spring water, lake water, and filtered water can also work well, as long as the water is either directly from nature or clean (filtered properly.) Some people also add salt to their water because of its electric properties You can simply rinse the crystal in water, or you can follow up by placing the crystal in a clear glass filled with water. Place the glass on your windowsill, ideally facing the south, to charge in the sun.
- The Moon The Moon can also be used for cleansing and charging. Some people make a ritual of burying their crystal under a full moon, to take advantage of the magnet forces of the moon in combination with the earth. You may also place your crystal in the direct light of the moon.
- Smudging You can cleanse your crystals by smudging them with sage, incense, or sweet grass.
- Other Crystals You can also cleanse and charge your crystal with other crystals. A crystal can be placed on a crystal cluster or generator (single large quartz crystal). Citrine in particular is excellent for cleansing the other crystals in your collection. It is one of the only two crystals that is automatically self-cleansing, and will cleanse other crystals. The other is Kyanite, which is also extremely helpful in chakra alignment.
