Cleansing Crystals With Incense
One of the most common cleansing techniques is using incense smoke.

This method is simple and widely used in meditation rituals.

Light an incense stick
-
Allow the smoke to rise gently
-
Pass the crystal through the smoke for a few seconds
This is one of the easiest methods for beginners.
Cleansing Crystals With Moonlight
Moonlight cleansing is another popular ritual, especially during the full moon.
Many people place their crystals near a window or outdoors overnight to allow moonlight to recharge their energy.
Moonlight rituals are often combined with meditation or journaling practices.
Cleansing Crystals With Salt
Salt has long been associated with purification.
Some people cleanse crystals by placing them near bowls of salt or by resting them on salt surfaces.
However, certain crystals should not be placed directly in salt because it may damage delicate stones.
Cleansing Crystals With Meditation
Meditation can also be used to cleanse crystals.
Many people hold a crystal during meditation and focus on releasing negative energy while visualizing positive energy flowing through the stone.
Combining meditation with calming candlelight can enhance the ritual. Explore relaxation candles in the Aura Cyprus candle collection:
