🌿 How to Cleanse and Care for Your Crystals
Before using any crystal, it’s important to clear it of any lingering energy. Check which method is best for crystals before clearing as some crystals are sensitive to light or water. You can cleanse your crystals using:
- Smudging (sage, palo santo)
- Sunlight (place them on a windowsill)
- Moonlight (especially during the full moon)
- Sound (singing bowls, bells)
- Salt baths (for certain crystals like quartz and amethyst)
