HiThere! Newbie needs help on cleansing please......

[Guest guest]

Lin,

 

I am going to ask you to change your strategy. Salt can hurt many

soft minerals.

 

Cleansing is really simple.. a matter of intention. No matter the

process of cleansing

it is the intention that matters the most.

 

I wash them with warm water and dish soap. While washing them I " See "

them being

cleansed and cleared. The come out nice a sparkly and raring to go.

 

In the same vein of intention, just do what you think is best... and even..

easiest for you. Just be sure to have the intention in your mind of

the crystals being cleansed and charged.

 

You can also use a Selenite Charging plate to set them on

for bringing their energy up.

 

This doesn't answer your question but I hope it helps you.

 

In gratitude,

 

John Van Rees

Greetings Lin,

 

I am in agreement with John about not using salt for cleansing crystals. I

also want to expound on what he mention about some crystals being sensitive to

cleansing methods. Some crystals and minerals are also water soluble. So, one

must use caution with water cleansing as well. Halite is a beautiful form

of salt crystal and easily dissolves away to nothing in water. If you are

completely new to crystals before cleansing them, make certain you know what

kind

of crystal/mineral they are and the hardness and solubility before using any

liquids on them.

 

Some folks prefer just using intent and their own breath. Some use sun or

moonlight (and again some crystals can fade if left in direct sunlight). Some

will bury crystals in the earth (even dirt of potted plants). Some will smudge

with cleansing incenses (sage, dragons blood, frankincense). Some use Reiki

......and many probably use a combination depending on need, time and purpose

(or last use) of the crystal.

 

Blessings to your eve all.
