The Boho Guide to Cleansing Crystals



Crystals have been cherished for centuries due to their unique ability to harness and transmit energy. As we use crystals for healing, manifestation, and spiritual growth, it's important to keep them cleansed and purified to ensure their optimal performance. In this blog post, we'll explore various methods to cleanse your crystals, allowing them to radiate their vibrant energy and serve as powerful gems on your journey.


Understanding the Need for Cleansing:

Crystals are sensitive to energy and can absorb vibrations ( both positive and negative) from their surroundings. Cleansing your crystals of unwanted energies helps release any accumulated stagnant or negative energy, restoring their natural energetic state. Regular cleansing also recharges their potency, ensuring they're ready to support you in your endeavors.


Selecting the Right Method:

There are numerous methods to cleanse crystals, and it's essential to choose the one that resonates with you and your crystals. When selecting the right method, it’s extremely important to ensure your choosing a safe method for each particular crystal. Some popular methods include:


   1. Water Cleansing: Submerging crystals in flowing water, such as a stream or under a gentle tap, helps wash away unwanted energies. However, be cautious as not all crystals can be cleansed with water. Some may dissolve or become damaged, so research your crystals beforehand.


   2. Sunlight and Moonlight: Placing crystals under the sunlight or moonlight for a few hours can recharge and cleanse them. The sun's energy is particularly effective for revitalizing crystals, while the moon's energy offers a gentler cleanse. For some crystals, excessive sunlight can be a little harsh for cleansing and could potentially reduce the color pigment within the crystal.


   3. Smudging: Utilizing sacred herbs, such as white sage, palo santo, or cedar, to create smoke and passing your crystals through it helps purify their energy. This method is especially helpful for removing negative energies and promoting a sense of clarity.


   4. Sound Cleansing: Sound vibrations can effectively cleanse crystals. You can use tools like singing bowls, bells, or even your own voice by chanting affirmations or mantras while holding the crystals. Jamming out to your favorite songs while vibing with your crystal is another great way to work with sound waves and dissipate stagnant energy.


   5. Earth Cleansing: Burying your crystals in the earth for a day or two allows them to reconnect with the grounding energies of the Earth. Ensure you mark the location properly and protect delicate crystals by placing them in a cloth or container.


6. Breath: The breath is a remarkable tool that connects us deeply with our inner selves and the world around us. When we direct our breath towards our crystals, we infuse them with our life force energy, clearing away any stagnant or negative vibrations they may have absorbed along the way. It's a simple yet potent way to rejuvenate your crystals and align them with your own energetic frequency.


Intention Setting:

While cleansing your crystals, it's beneficial to set a clear intention. Focus your thoughts and visualize the crystals being purified and restored to their optimal state. Intentions help amplify the cleansing process and infuse the crystals with energy and intentions you set.


Regular Maintenance:

Cleansing your crystals is an ongoing process. Just as we accumulate dirt and dust in our daily lives, crystals accumulate energies over time. Regular maintenance ensures that your crystals remain energetically clear and ready to support you. Consider cleansing them after heavy use or at least once a month. For ladies, I’d like to recommend cleansing your crystals during menstruation.


Cleansing crystals is an essential practice for any crystal enthusiast. By regularly purifying your crystals, you can maintain their energetic integrity, enhance their healing properties, and deepen your connection with them. Choose a method that resonates with you and your crystals, set your intentions, and enjoy the renewed vibrancy and power they bring into your life. Remember, a cleansed crystal is a crystal ready to work its magic!
