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

[Guest guest]

Thanks ReNau for following up and extending what I had said... that reminds

me to say also that if I am in a hurry.. I just blow breath through

the crystal...

again with intention for clearing and cleansing. I think no matter what we

do .. it is just the ritual that fits us that works for us.

 

In gratitude,

 

John

Oh , I had to laugh as I remember when I was so excited with my new halite and

used salt water all the time...I placed it out under the moon soaking in a mild

salt solution only to find it all gone the next day. I was so shocked but should

have checked . Talk about learning as you go. Somehow I can almost hear the

stone spirits giggling as well. Judy

Ha! I have a large pink halite and fortunately was told what it was

before I commited the dame boo-b00- It would be easy to do with not

knowing!

Hey ... i use a few different methods, however one that do use most

often in between full moons is: since i grow sage in my garden i

always have available fresh sage, when i put my babies (stones) to

bed at night they are bathed in a bowl fullof died fresh sages.

peace,
