To get your crystal to work with you in the best possible way you need to activate it. It needs to feel your energy, you can do this by singing to it, talking to it, breathing onto it and of course holding it as much as you can.

Cleansing your Crystals

Its important to cleanse your crystals on a regular basis. You can do this by placing your crystals in a bowl of spring water and fully submerge it, leave it in for an hour or so then pat it dry or place it outside under some sunlight to dry and recharge. Salt has been used throughout history to absorb unwanted energy and banish negativity. Dissolve a table spoon of sea or rock salt in water. Again submerge fully in water for an hour, pat dry or place under the sun. A old time favorite for cleaning your crystals is by wafting smoke created by burning a smudge mix over the surface of the gemstone. Don’t forget to place your crystals under a full moon to recharge under its powerful energy.
