\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tClearing isn\u2019t the same as cleaning, although both acts can be accomplished by the same process. Whether or not your crystals often need to be cleared they will sometimes need to be cleaned. I recommend immersing them in water for a minute or so, then gently drying them with a towel.\n\nDon\u2019t use any kind of detergent unless for some reason grease has gotten on them. Detergents, even\u00a0Organic<\/a>\u00a0ones, tend to leave a film on crystals. Inner Dust\n\nClearing crystals is more an act of getting rid of inner, psychic dust. Crystals are valuable in the technical world because they record and store information. When we translate this role into spiritual terms we say that crystals take in and store the vibrations which surround them.\n\nThis benefits us in that we are able to program them to translate our desires and dreams into a vibration which attracts the energy which will materialize them. Crystals, however, not being us, don\u2019t discriminate between \u201cgood\u201d and \u201cbad\u201d vibrations, and collect whatever\u2019s around. Making a Crystal Yours\n\nWhen you first purchase crystals you want to make them yours. You will want to erase or clear from them the vibrations of all those who have handled them \u2014 even those of the nice people at Beyond the Rainbow \u2014 not because those vibrations are bad, but because your crystals, in order to respond to your needs and wishes, must be attuned to your vibrations.\n\nThere are times when you don\u2019t want a crystal to have your vibrations, either.\n
* If you've been working with crystals to heal emotional pain, your crystals may absorb these vibrations.\n* The same can be true if you've been doing a lot of releasing work.\n* If you've programmed crystals for specific purposes, you'll need to clear them if you want to program them for new goals\/dreams.\n<\/code><\/pre>\nCrystal Baths\n\nOne way to clear your crystals is to bury them in sea or kosher salt overnight. Wash them afterwards and, if possible, put them in a place where they can dry in the sun. You can get similar results by using salt water, and this is a better idea for highly polished stones, as salt crystals may scratch your crystals\u2019 surfaces. Immersing them in salt water serves the dual purposes of cleaning and clearing.\n\nMy method is to fill bowls in filtered water into which I shake some salt (probably the equivalent of two tablespoons per pint of water.) I leave the crystals in the water overnight. The next day I rinse them and put them out to dry. I prefer to let them dry by themselves.\n\nIf the temperature is warm (crystals may crack in subfreezing temperatures) I put the bowls outside and let them dry in the sun. Precautions\n\nAlthough I\u2019ve used this method for many years without traumatized crystals, I think it\u2019s appropriate to say that other people feel this is too harsh a clearing method. If you\u2019d like to try this method, use it with a few crystals and see how you feel.\n\nSome crystals shouldn\u2019t be placed in water, particularly soft stones such as azurite,\u00a0Malachite<\/a>, rough chrysocolla, selenite. I\u2019ve heard that calcite shouldn\u2019t be placed in water, but I\u2019ve done so with no negative results. A variant on the sea salt method is to clear your crystals by placing them in the ocean. I recommend putting them in a pail unless you plan to give a gift to the sea. Smudging\n\nThis is the least invasive and most popular method for clearing crystals. You can use a smudge stick for this. A smudge stick may consist of some of the following herbs: include cedar,\u00a0Sage<\/a>,\u00a0Lavender<\/a>,\u00a0Juniper<\/a>,\u00a0Pine<\/a>.\n\nPass your crystals through the smoke \u2014 or, if you have arrangements of crystals around your house, pass the smudge stick over the crystals. This method is excellent as well for clearing yourself and your environment. Cleaning\/Clearing with Essential Oils\n\nThe relationship between crystals and essential oils deserves an article of its own. My focus here is on particular oils that have cleaning\/clearing properties. The most economical method for using oils is to place crystals in a container, fill it with filtered water as you would for the salt water method, and put a drop or two of essential oil into the water.\n\nLemon: This has a purifying effect and, on a practical level, cuts grease.\n\nJuniper: Like\u00a0Juniper<\/a>\u00a0in a smudge stick,\u00a0Juniper<\/a>\u00a0oil has the ability to help release any negative vibrations.\n\nLavender: If you\u2019ve been doing any kind of intense emotional work with your crystals,\u00a0Lavender<\/a>\u00a0oil has a calming and balancing effect. Put some on yourself, too.\n\nThe previous methods can work well for large quantities of crystals. The following methods are better for individual crystals or small quantities of small crystals. The Earth Method\n\nYou can bury your crystals in the earth. (Do not use this method on iron-based stones such as hematite and tiger iron.) This method can clear any rough energy from your crystals and give them a kind of rebirth in the earth (from which most crystals are mined). It\u2019s like taking them home.\n\nBe sure to mark the place where you\u2019ve buried them. Visualization\n\nClose your eyes, relax, and while holding your Crystal, visualize it glowing with white light or rainbow hues. Feel it radiating smooth, balanced energy.\u00a0Reiki<\/a>\n\nUsing\u00a0Reiki<\/a>\u00a0alone or in combination with visualization can be effective in clearing your crystals.\n\nIf you\u2019re\u00a0Reiki<\/a>\u00a0Level I hold the crystal in your hand and simply\u00a0Reiki<\/a>\u00a0it. If you\u2019re\u00a0Reiki<\/a>\u00a0II you can also draw the mental\/emotional symbol over your crystals. How Often Do Crystals Need to be Cleared?\n\nIt depends on how much you use them. If they\u2019re sitting on your desk, looking pretty (and you can get a great deal of value just from having them around) once every three months is probably sufficient\ufffdin which case they probably need baths, too. Crystals you work with every day need to be cleared no less than once a month.\n\nIf, as mentioned above, you do intense emotional work with your crystals, clear them after each session.\n\nIf a crystal looks cloudy or has a dull feeling it probably needs to be cleared.\n\nIt is always a good idea to clear a crystal before you program it. However, once you\u2019ve programmed it don\u2019t clear it until it\u2019s done its work.\n\n\u2014\u2013\nFor Guaranteed, Effective, 100% Natural\u00a0Herbal Remedies<\/a>\u00a0, please visit\u00a0Native Remedies<\/a><\/b><\/i>\n\nFor additional support and answers you need to improve your health, we have a qualified team of experts who personally supervise our popular\u00a0Ask Our Experts<\/a><\/b>\u00a0service!\n\nXtend-Life<\/a><\/b>\u00a0– Micro-Nutriments – The elite of natural\u00a0Supplements<\/a>.
