How often should you cleanse your crystals?

How often you cleanse your crystals depends on several factors, including how frequently you use them, the environment they're in, and your personal intuition. Here are some guidelines to help you determine when to cleanse your crystals:

1. Regular Use: If you use your crystals frequently for meditation, or energy work, it's a good idea to cleanse them regularly. Weekly or bi-weekly cleansing routines can help maintain their optimal energetic properties.

2. Intuition: Trust your intuition when it comes to cleansing your crystals. If you feel like a crystal's energy is dull or less vibrant than usual, it may be time to cleanse it. Likewise, if you sense that a crystal has absorbed heavy or negative energy, cleansing it promptly can help restore its balance.

3. Environmental Factors: Crystals can absorb energy from their surroundings, so factors such as the presence of negative emotions, electromagnetic radiation, or stagnant energy in your environment can affect their energy. If you notice a shift in the energy of your space or if your crystals have been exposed to challenging environments, consider cleansing them more frequently.

4. Special Occasions: You may want to cleanse your crystals before and after significant events, rituals, or ceremonies to ensure they are clear and aligned with your intentions. This can include occasions such as full moons, new moons, or personal milestones.

       There are various methods you can use to cleanse your crystals, including:

• Running Water: Hold your crystals under running water (such as a natural stream or tap water) for a few minutes while visualizing the impurities being washed away.
• Selenite: Place your crystals on a selenite charging plate or near a piece of selenite overnight to cleanse and recharge them.
• Sunlight: Leave your crystals in direct sunlight for a few hours to energize and revitalise them. Be cautious with sunlight exposure for certain crystals, as prolonged exposure can fade their colour, like Amethyst.
• Moonlight: Leave your crystals outdoors or near a windowsill during a full moon to absorb the cleansing and rejuvenating energy of the moonlight.
• Smudging: Pass your crystals through the smoke of sacred herbs such as sage, palo santo, or selenite to clear away negative energy.

    Experiment with different cleansing methods and frequencies to find what works best for you and your crystals. Trust your intuition and pay attention to how your crystals respond to different cleansing rituals.
