Why do Crystals and
Gemstones have power? There are many theories but one of the most popular is
that all crystals and gemstones have the capacity to absorb energies, emotions
and knowledge. The variety in their composition means that each type absorbs
different powers and
These powers are then
naturally imparted to the user or wearer Crystals are identified by the content
of their structure and minerals.
All crystals are formed
from a limited number of minerals that bond differently. Some crystals take
many forms and colors, because of slight mineral variations but there will
share the same internal. What ever form they take, their crystalline structure
can absorb, conserve, focus and emit energy. It is believed that by wearing,
holding or carrying, gemstones which suits you, have the ability to influence,
to heal, protect, and to transform your energy.
Why clear and cleanse
your crystals?
We need to cleanse our
crystals because sometimes the crystals can have unwanted energy. Like when you
went to crystal store and you saw a beautiful crystal, there could have been
lots of people touching the stone and that could be unwanted vibrations enter
into the stone from the person in their unwanted emotional energy or May be
unwanted stress. These crystals when they get the store first come from earth
the pieces polished shapes and sizes and sent to the store. So these crystals
handled roughly and then lots of people are catching them before they come to
you so they might unwanted energy in them. Crystals have a tendency to absorb
the energies around them. The other reason can be if some sell their gemstone
for some need but you don’t know that you are purchasing used gemstone or
crystal. A used gemstone will carry the energy of the person who have been used
in the past. So this necessary to cleanse your gemstone or crystal to ward off
the energy of that person. So it is very important to cleanse your newly acquired
crystal or gemstone even if you found it. This is basically to remove any
influences from anyone else who has handled the stone.
There are many many ways
that you can cleanse crystals.
Sea Salt Water: Many people like to use sea salt water because
sea salt is a very cleansing mineral. You can fill a bowl of water, add sea
salt, and then place your crystal in it. Crystals must offer a few hours
preferably overnight so that all of the unwanted energy gets absorbed by the
salt leaving the crystals sparkly clean and free of all of the negative energy
and then throw out the sea salt water. Some people visualize the crystal
releasing old energies out into the sea salt water. Again, you don't want to
use this method with delicate stones. Both sea salt and water can damage your
crystals if left on them for too long. You can imagine this thing in this
manner, how you feel if you to be in water for a too long time, in the same
manner crystal feel.
Nature itself offers
various means of purifying them. The light of the Moon and Sun, the
Water that flows in
oceans and rivers, and the rich soil of the earth.
Mother Earth: This method considers the source of our
beautiful crystals as Mother Earth. What better way to clear away negativity
than by placing your stone back into its original place? For this method, a
plant pot will do for at least a day, so that they May receive earth energies. You
can either bury your stone in your backyard use a Marker, or you can simply
gather some soil in a container, and place your stone within it, so that they May
receive earth energies.
Running Water: You can hold your stones under running water to
remove negative energy or simply hold your stone under a running faucet or in a
stream. Wash each stone separately. If you plan to leave them to soak then use
a Separate container of water for each stone. Please be sure to use clean
water for each stone. This May seem obvious to some but you'd be surprised how
many people acquire several stones at once and just put them all to soak
together in a single container. It's also important to use a natural container
not one made of plastic.
Sunlight: Using the Sun to clear negative energies from
your crystals is often used. For many stones, the Sun acts as a wonderful
purifier. The method commonly used here is placing your stones outside for
about ten to twenty minutes. Placing them outside in Sunlight so that they May
get recharged or re-energized by the Sun.
Moonlight: Full Moon and the New Moon is best. Place your
stones outside so that they May also receive energy from the Moon. This method
is pretty safe, using the same method as above, except with the Moon instead of
the Sun as the clearing agent. Of course, using the Moon, one need not worry
about fading. Make sure your stones are in a safe place.
