You could also carry out some of these rituals with your crystals from time to time . Cleansing All crystals should be cleansed occasionally by placing them in clean, cold water which is done to remove grease, dust and dirt. It will also release a certain amount of unwanted negativity. You can do this in a bowl, and even better, outside on a bright sunny day. If it is too cold or there is no sun, cleansing inside will be fine.
Water cleansing incorporating a special visualisation also removes more negativity.
Place the cleansed crystals on a clean white cloth on a tray and leave them to dry naturally outside in the sun or inside next to a bright window. Clearing Clearing is done to remove any negative vibrations and previous programming. Occasionally, a crystal may have been used and dedicated to other tasks by another person or previous owner. As long as you release and clear any negative vibrations, the crystal is just the same as it was the day it was mined. These vibrations can be cleared but it is always possible that someone else infused the crystal with a beautiful energy which you would be happy to work with.
