Here are the steps to clean quartz crystals:
1. Remove any dirt or debris on the crystal’s surface.
Before cleaning your quartz crystal, make sure to remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated on the surface. Use a soft-bristled brush or toothbrush to gently scrub away any dirt or dust particles on the crystal’s surface.
2. Wash the crystal with water.
Once you have removed any dirt or debris, wash your quartz crystal under running water. Gently rinse the crystal under the water to remove any leftover debris or dust. Make sure the water is not too hot or too cold and be careful not to drop the crystal while washing it.
3. Soak the crystal in saltwater.
Another way to clean quartz crystals is by soaking them in a saltwater solution. To do this, fill a bowl or a cup with lukewarm water and add two tablespoons of sea salt. Submerge your quartz crystal in the saltwater solution and leave it for around four hours.
The saltwater solution will remove any negative energy and cleanse the crystal’s energy. The longer you soak the crystal, the more effective the cleansing process will be. After soaking, rinse the crystal with fresh water and let it dry.
4. Cleanse the crystal with sunlight or moonlight.
Exposing the quartz crystal to sunlight or moonlight can also cleanse and recharge them. Place the crystal outside, in direct sunlight, or under the light of the full moon for around six to twelve hours.
The sunlight and moonlight will purify the crystal’s energy and recharge its natural vibrations. After cleaning your quartz crystal with sunlight or moonlight, it is ready for use again.
5. Use sound therapy to clean and recharge the crystals.
Another method to cleanse quartz crystals is by using sound therapy. Sound therapy involves using sound vibrations to cleanse and restore the crystal’s energy. This method is effective for crystals that have been used intensively and may need a deeper cleansing.
To cleanse your quartz crystal with sound therapy, you can use a singing bowl or a tuning fork. Hold the crystal in your hand and strike the singing bowl or the tuning fork next to the crystal. The sound vibrations will resonate through the crystal, clearing away any negative energy.
In conclusion, cleaning quartz crystals is an essential part of keeping them charged and ready to use. Whether you prefer using water, saltwater, sunlight, moonlight, or sound therapy to cleanse your quartz crystals, the most important thing is to do it regularly. A clean and charged crystal will have a better effect on your meditation and improve your overall well-being.
