CLEANSING

Some crystals might not like water, sun or salt and can damage them, be careful and check what it can and can't be used in.

Water cleansing:
This method involves physically cleaning the crystal with water. Water cleansing is a powerfully intuitive method that can help wash away negative energy. This method is especially good for those who identify as empaths who may be extra sensitive to negativity. This is fine for quartz and other hard crystals, (i.e. clear quartz, smoky quartz, rose quartz, amethyst, or citrine), but some crystals, such as selenite or calcite, should not be submerged in water as they will crack or dissolve.

Smoke cleansing:
This method involves waving smoke from incense or burning herbs around the crystals. This is a very traditional method of cleansing that is found in cultures all over the world and is good for removing negative energy and releasing spirits or entities. Can be used on all crystals

Moon cleansing:
This method involves setting your crystals outside or on a windowsill in the moonlight. This is most commonly done on a full moon when the moon's power is most potent but can really be done during any moon phase. It'll be activated and ready to absorb your intentions

Salt cleansing:
Like water, salt is not friendly to all crystals. Create a bed of salt (can be any) in a bowl, about 2in thick, then lay crystals in salt and let sit for 30 min or overnight. Don't reuse salt after, dispose as you like (with water down drain, trash, or bury in soil)

CHARING

Charging can be done at the same time as cleansing when it comes to the moon, sun, salt, etc. But some crystals don't like water or sunlight and can damage them. Be careful when charging or cleansing.

-Water can be used to cleanse as well as charging. Run water and put the crystal under it
