Cleansing Gems and
Crystals of Negative Energies
Gems and crystals come
from the earth. They are alive. They are
mined by hand or machine, and are removed from the earth to be used for many
different purposes.
When gems, crystals, or
rocks of any type are in the earth, they are exposed to earth energies
including magnetic energy fields and electric energy fields.
For example, when
lightening strikes the earth, it sends enormous amounts of energy into the
earth, and the gems, crystals and rocks within it. Molten lava pouring out of an active volcano,
the heat and minerals within it and how it affects the energy within its range
of influence.
All planets, including
the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto, Saturn, and all other
planets, stars, and energies in the Universe influence the energy of gems and
crystals.
It’s important to
remember that gems and crystals are alive.
To remain alive and energized once removed from the Earth, gems,
crystals, and objects made from elements taken from the earth, need to be
cleansed and energized on a regular basis.
Gems and Crystals
Attract and Absorb Energy:
Your gems and crystals
basically anything around you, or on you, can attract positive and negative
energy and hold that energy unless the object is cleansed.
Suggested Methods for
Cleansing Crystals and Gems:
The following are methods
for cleansing crystals and gems. These methods can also be used to cleanse
other objects. I try to keep my gems and
crystals exposed to the sun and moon on an ongoing basis.
The Sun and Moon: Place your gems & crystals in a place
where they will be fully exposed to the energizing rays of the sun and
moon. Even if the day is cloudy or you
cannot see the moon, their rays will energize the stones as long as they are
directly exposed to these elements of nature.
They will normally be cleansed within 24 hours of exposure.
However, stones such as
black tourmaline which are being used to deflect negative energies or help
release negative energies in your physical and energetic bodies, may require up
to 48 hours to become fully cleansed and regenerated.
Stones such as
aquamarine and amethyst will fade in the sun so you will have to use another
method for cleansing and regenerating these gemstones.
The Earth: Place your gems and crystals in the earth,
either directly into the earth or you can place the gems and crystals into a
cloth, preferably a natural fabric such as cotton or wool or silk. Leave the gem or crystal buried for at least
24 hours to ensure that they become fully re-energized. If possible, find a spot where the soil is
not being spread with chemicals through fertilizers or pesticides. This cleanses all negative energies and
re-energizes the stones.
Smudging With White
Sage: Take some white sage and begin to
burn it until a good strong smoke is coming from your sage. Hold the crystal or gem, in this smoke for at
least one minute. This clears all
negative energies that have become attached to this stone but does not energize
the gem or crystal. To re-energize the
stone, place it in a window so it can be exposed to the rays of the sun and
moon. Remember, they re-energize even
when it’s cloudy.
Running Water: If you
live where you have access to good clear well water that is guaranteed to be
free of chemicals, or running water from a creek or river that you know is not
polluted, place your crystals and gems in a small container, and let the water
run over them, for at least two hours.
This will cleanse and re-energize your gems and crystals. Please do not use tap water, since it is full
of chemicals. Be careful though because
certain stones will actually dissolve in water, e.g. Red Selenite.
Whatever methods you
choose, treat your gems and crystals with tender and loving kindness. These stones can do so much to heal at all
levels including the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual levels. They are magical gifts from the Universe and
we need to treat them with respect and gratitude. If you no longer want to keep a crystal or
gem, take it outside and bury it so it may return to Mother Earth, from whence
it came.
