Summer Crystal Cleansing: How to Energize Your Gemstones

Summer Crystal Cleansing: How to Energize Your Gemstones

Hello, Crystal Crazies! As the sun climbs higher in the sky (or at least tries to) and summer approaches, it's time to give your beloved gemstones some extra TLC.

Just like you, your crystals love a good recharge and cleansing. At The Crystal Basket, we're here to share the secrets of summer crystal cleansing to keep your collection vibrant and full of energy.

Why Cleanse Your Crystals

Crystals are powerful energy conductors, and they absorb the energies around them, both positive and negative. Over time, this can leave them feeling a bit worn out. Cleansing your crystals helps them reset and rejuvenate, ready to work their magic for you once again.

Solar Power: Cleansing with Sunlight

Summer is the perfect time to harness the cleansing power of sunlight. Find a sunny spot in your garden or on your windowsill, lay out your crystals, and let them soak up the sun's rays. The gentle warmth and energy of the sun will clear away any stagnant or negative energies. Please do not leave crystals on the windowsill for long periods of time especially clear crystals that may magnify the light and potentially cause a fire). Please note leaving certain crystals in the sun for too long may cause them to fade or become brittle so so some research around best crystals to cleanse in the sunny sun sun.

Moon Magic: Cleansing under the Full Moon

Another beautiful method for cleansing crystals is by placing them outside under the light of the full moon. This celestial bath is particularly effective for stones associated with intuition and emotions, like Moonstone or Labradorite. Leave them out overnight and retrieve them in the morning, charged with lunar energy.

Salt Soak: Purifying with Sea Salt

For those crystals that should avoid direct sunlight or moonlight, a salt bath can work wonders. Create a solution of sea salt and water (preferably purified or spring water), immerse your crystals, and leave them for several hours. Rinse them afterward to remove any salt residue. Please research crystals that should not be cleansed with water, normally crystals ending in _ite.

Sound Healing: Vibrational Cleansing

Sound can also cleanse crystals. Use a singing bowl, bell, or even your own voice to create a sound bath. Hold your crystals in your hands and produce clear, resonant tones to clear away negative energies.

Setting Intentions: Infusing with Positivity

Once your crystals are cleansed, take a moment to set positive intentions for them. Hold each one and visualise it radiating with pure, vibrant energy. Your intention will amplify the crystal's natural properties.

A Crystal-Clear Summer

With these summer crystal cleansing techniques in your arsenal, your gemstones will be shining brightly and ready to support you on your journey. Keep the energy flowing, and stay tuned for more crystal goodness from The Crystal Basket!
