Stone clearing all in one post

March 2, 2006

Thank you to those who responded to my call for help in what to do

about clearing the Smokey Quartz. I wasn't sure what I should do,

since I'd read somewhere that crystals will pick up the energies from

the surroundings especially if they've been in a large store. So I

thought I should clear it. I think I will hold the Quartz and ask the

crystals what they want me to do. I am sensitive to psychometry so

this will probably work the best. I asked my Amethyst cluster last

week and it wanted just plain water. I had planned on using salted

water as I had read, but this isn't the impression I got back from the

Amethyst which confused me a bit. I could also clear it with Reiki but

I read somewhere awhile back that this would reprogram a crystal. So I

just kept getting more confused.

I'm not sure why I purchased this Smokey Quartz unless it's because I

was feeling a bit stressed at the time. I had never thought of ever

purchasing one. Would you like me to try and put a picture in the

files of him? It's a pretty dark Smokey quartz, probably more like a

black. I was told the Smokey Quartz came from Arkansas.

Anyway thanks for your help Kestrel

Hello again,

Ok no one flip out if they believe differently, this is my view and feeling

of the stones.

I cherish my dear friends, over time I have had several people around me

claim all sorts of stuff that sounds odd but OK if it will help and while I

meditate on the subject I get an entirely different view and a no way don't

do it. .

I was told by one gal that you should use ammonia and other cleaners and

salt to take color out and cleanse them.

O h M y G osh, that one bothered me and I sought other sources for help

on that one. as far as colored stones, I will give them a rinse in water

and thank them for being with me and tell them it is OK there colored, I

feel they must have a mission to be with me for color therapy as well as

their normal power to share with me, Which I believe can heal in 2 aspects,

your self and the stone.

I will never use chemicals it damages the crystal further than the coloring

does, and salt can change the composition of the crystal, change its natural

color or energy. I have been told that you should bury them, and allow them

to stay outside for a while 2 weeks or longer. well again on this one I

felt odd about it and got the NO Way feeling.

Again, I believe that burying the stones can harm them you never know what

is in that soil, plus you will have to clean them with soap and water. If

they are tumbled it roughs up the surface some. If you feel placing them on

soil will work , Again I believe that you can get some potting soil place a

cloth across it and allow them to sit on it and do reiki on them.

I Have been told you should never let anyone touch your stones, you will

draw off their energy and have to cleanse it and reprogram it.

Again, I believe, that if someone is impulsed to touch or hold your stones

for a moment or longer, it doesn't hurt at all it is the stones energy

calling to a need and our willingness to share increases the power of the

stone that has been touched. I also believe that if you have had the need

to program a stone for an added focus of power and the stones energy to

help, it is OK again by allowing a generous heart and not a stingy selfish

one you increase the stones ability.

And it is no big deal to re program a stone, who knows by allowing someone

else to touch and hold the stone you have helped to heal someone else who

was in need of that same programming, as well as you.

I have found that when the stones start feeling heavy even if I desire to

have them it isn't what I need just then and they are trying to let me know

that. and other energies are being drawn to me for a purpose of healing.

I also believe that sometimes a night to a full day off by them selves does

them a great deal of good if they have too much energy drawn in and you feel

they need it.

depending what I am trying to do I will either allow my stones to sit in the

sun for about an hour unless they wish longer (amethyst will bleach out if

left in the sun for extended periods of time), I will sometimes set them in

a peaceful room with Enya going or some other soft Celtic, or relaxing

music, (if it helps me to unwind it will help the stone as well). Or I will

leave them in a dark area with or without music for a time. or allow them

to just be and they will be just fine most time.

seriously meditate, that is best, you will gain incite on what to do and

your stones will guild you as far as how to help them to help you or others

best.

Ok all that is how I think and believe, we share the world and share the

energy of the stones we are meant to be sharing creatures so I hope I have

shared an incite if nothing else, an incite into me.

P.S. If you are sensitive to everyone's energies around you, and pick it up

to easily. If you need help in grounding or not taking on other peoples

energies, DO NOT ASK OR PROGRAM the stones to draw the energy away from you

and into the stone, program it to repel the energy, reflect it like a

mirror, and only allow you to see what is needed not feel it. or you will in

the end take on so much it will grind your nerves.

I hope my thoughts have helped

Have a Happy and Keep Smiling

Dear Angelina,

Hi there.....please forgive a rather brief posting as I am running into a

session. Cleansing crystals, to begin with, is sensitive to the hardness of the

stone. Quartz, diamond and topaz and other relatively hard stones are not going

to be as sensitive to mineral salts in the water supply as will be malachite,

chrysocolla and fluorites. So when cleansing in salted water or buried in earth

it is helpful to know the scale of hardness of the stone. This is just basic

chemistry. Yet ritual is sacred and that is energy to enhance our lives and

create certain alchemy.

I am the author of the Jewels of the Lotus Tibetan Gemstone Oracle and my

premise is that everyones intuitional process is equally as valuable (more so to

them because it is God, Godess, your higher self, the mineral devas,etc)

speaking directly to you. When there are RULES they are not based on intuition

but on science. The rules of intuition are for you (in the larger sense) and

for those it makes sense to. If we set up the belief system then it is so. I

have been in this field for over 25 years...and love it...but have been amazed

at the RULES that have been set up out of others belief systems. Some of them

are not always possible because inherent in each gem are the minerals and metals

that have certain capabilities and cannot physically do what has been acclaimed

to them. And yet there is so much available vibrationally that the possiblities

remain staggering. It is still a science of many unconnected dots and a very

bright future.

I agree with you in regards to the re-programming of crystals and allowing

others to touch our stones or jewelry. What you do not want played with or

touched, then keep it out of sight or under your clothes. It is a natural

reaction to want to touch a beautiful pendant....and who knows it might have

just been touched by an angel.

Anyways the work I do is to connect the Spiritual Sciences to the Realms of

the Physical..............Be Blessed and I will chime in again...thanks,

Dawn Silver
