Why & When To Cleanse Your Crystals and Misinformation On The Internet

The why..

Crystals are like a microchip in that they store energy and information. Whilst they are in the Earth they are pure and constantly in a state of cleansing but even then the environment they grow in impacts their energy and how they will work with us when unearthed. As soon as they emerge a chain of events begin to unfold and they start to hold energy from who and under what conditions they were mined, where they are stored, travel and every hand after they pass through. Whether the supply chain is short or long they are handled by multiple people, may be exposed to factory environments, a shop etc. So a new crystal is already coming to you filled with energy and we need to always be careful what energy we allow in our home and energy field.

Then when they enter your life they absorb energy from you, your home and any work you do with them.

Crystals can become blocked, their energy can dull and their energy goes both ways so any energy they hold they can also pass on to you and into your energy field. This is the why!

The when...

Here is a guide to get you started but always tune into your crystals regularly to check their energy.

• When you first get a new crystal
• If you find yourself having an intense experience with your crystal such as working with smokey quartz to release negative energy or if you are wearing your favourite bracelet during an argument.
• If you are working with crystals for healing, physical or emotional, it best to cleanse them after each working. This is especially important during and after illness.
• When you are working with a crystal long term cleanse it regularly, allowing your intuition and the crystal to guide you.
• Crystals around the home are easily forgotten but they are constantly picking up what's going on. Many find it easier to say they will cleanse the homes crystals each Full Moon for example, so it does not pass them by and they suddenly realise 6 months later when their home feels off. So set a routine that works for you.
• Selenite has long been sold as the crystal that does not need cleansing as low vibrations do not thrive around it. While it rarely needs cleansing, like any crystal it can hold a lot of energy and benefits from occasional cleansing by the moon, which also energises it. Over the years there has been some obsurd notions that crystals such as citrine, carnelian and a host of others don't need cleansing. This is unfortunately a side effect of the new age, all these crystals need cleansing! As an example citrine is part of the quartz family, it's extremely good at recording and absorbing energy. If anything it's alignment to the abundance frequency makes it more so, as it attracts an abundance of energy to itself!
• If you work with a crystal for a specific intention and then want to work with it in another way for a new intention, grid etc then you always want to fully cleanse it and release the previous programs.
