Crystal, in India is otherwise called the SPHATIK and is a word from GreekVersion "Krystallos"
meaning 'ice'. It was believed earlier by them that the crystals were
formed from ice.
Today, crystal remedies are the most effective in the world because of
its capacity of occupying the negative effects. Crystal works in a
perceptive way to release physical and psychic energy.
How heavy would be your heart when you are completely
depressed?
Let's translate it in to an energetic state and imagine how dense and slow your energy is at times.
Crystals have vibrations that are high and it raises oscillations of other life formation in their
locality. Thus, when one is depressed, the energy derived from the crystals restores your
atmosphere and lifts the vibration wavelength above the state of depression.
Actually, a crystal is "a three-dimensional molecular, atomic or ionic structure comprising of
sporadically repeated, similarly constituted, appropriate unit cells". The most effective of the
crystals is the clear quartz crystal and this focuses on any form of energy.
Crystals are well known for their ability to energize and for more than thousands of years, it has
been used in the process of healing. It entirely depends on the size of crystals being chosen as
different sizes are used for various ailments and it signifies the quantity of energy one is trying to
transform.
Cleansing
When you first obtain crystals or have been using them for some time, or even if they have been
left sitting around somewhere, they will have absorbed a range of different energies that they will
have been exposed to by yourself and others who may have handled them and transferred
various energies and emotions into them.
Therefore, it's important to 'cleanse' your crystals as soon as you obtain them, and on a regular
basis (daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, depending on use) however, you may have been
given a crystal as a gift from someone who may have programmed it specially for you with
specific energies. In this case the stone may not need this initial cleansing.
This cleansing process isn't a 'physical' cleaning with soap and water, but intended to cleanse the
stone of its stored energies, both good and bad, which can be released again by the stone at any

time and once it becomes loaded with energy. Crystals used specifically for healing should be
cleansed before and after use.
Several cleansing methods are recommended, they are:
1) Salt Water
Suitable crystals can be left to soak in sea water or water mixed with sea salt. Cooking salt can
also be used if sea salt/water is not available. You should fill a glass bowl (not metal) about half
to one third full and place your crystals so they are fully submerged in the salt water for
anywhere between 1 to 24 hours. Many people leave them in salt water overnight but a crystal
that needs a much deeper and more thorough cleansing can be left for up to 1 week. You should
thoroughly rinse your crystals in cool running water after spending time in salt water to remove
any remaining salt. After use, the salt water must be flushed away and never re-used because it
will have absorbed negative and unwanted energies.
Salt water cleansing is considered one of the best and most thorough ways to cleanse crystals,
but please be aware that this method must be avoided for certain crystals as it can have an
adverse effect on them and even change their appearance and properties! Stones that should not
be soaked in salt water include crystals that are porous, contain metal or have a water content, for
example Opal. Stones and minerals that should be kept away from salt include Pyrite, Lapis
Lazuli, Opal, Hematite, etc.
2) Dry Salt
Another salt method is to half-fill a glass bowl with sea salt (or cooking salt) and place your
crystals directly into the salt. Either bury them into the dry salt or leave them on the surface.
They should be left in the salt for several hours, overnight or for several days. Your crystals
should then be rinsed thoroughly under cool running water to remove any remaining salt.
After use, the salt must be thrown away and never re-used because it will have absorbed negative
and unwanted energies. Again, take care when placing your crystals directly onto dry salt as the
salt can have an adverse effect on certain crystals, as explained above.
3) Non-Contact Salt
This is considered the safest salt-cleansing method and should be used where the crystals may
otherwise be damaged by direct contact with salt. This is also a good method if you are cleansing
gem stones found in jewellery or gems surrounded by metal.
First, fill a glass bowl half to two thirds full with dry sea salt (or cooking salt). Then place a
smaller glass container or shallow drinking glass and half-bury this glass into the salt. You can
then place your crystals directly into the empty glass which is sitting half buried in the dry salt.
The salt will still be able to draw out the stored energies within the stones but this method will
take longer to work than direct contact with salt. You may also pour just enough water
(preferably pure, distilled or mineral water) into the smaller glass container, just enough to cover

the crystals. This will protect them and prevent direct 'salt exposure' or 'salty air' from
causing any corrosion or adverse effects to any metals or other fittings that may surround the
gems. Also, bear in mind that certain crystals should not be left to soak in water.
The used salt should be thrown away and never re-used.
4) Smudging
Another popular method of cleansing crystals is by 'Smudging'. This involves burning either
Smudge Sticks or Incense Sticks and holding the crystals in the smoke to cleanse the stored
energies. Several types of incense are specifically recommended for this because, when burned,
they release certain elements into the air via the smoke which can effectively remove bad and
built-up energies. The following incense sticks are particularly recommended for effective
smudging: Sage and Sweetgrass, Sandalwood or Cedarwood (available from our Web Store). A
feather can be used to fan the smoke across the crystals and this only needs to be done for a short
amount of time. 20 to 30 seconds should be long enough.
5) Visualisation
You can also use visualisation or 'thought energy' to cleanse crystals. Simply hold the crystal,
focus on it, and visualise a bright white light surrounding the crystal, followed by a beam of
white light coming down through the stone, passing all the way through the stone, taking
away stored energy within the stone. Do this until you feel happy that the white light has done its
job and flushed away the stored energies. The 'thought energy' generated by you will be
transmitted to the stone and this cleansing energy will do the job of clearing the stone of its
stored energies.
Energizing
Once your crystal has been cleansed you will need to energise it again so that it can continue to
release
its
own
natural
vibrations
and
energies.
There are several ways to energize crystals and the most popular methods are as follows:
1) Water Energizing
Allow your crystals to sit in a drinking glass or bowl under cool running tap water for several
minutes, 10-20 minutes should be long enough. If you are near to a natural running river, stones
can be placed in an open mesh bag and left for a short time in the natural running water. Running
water can also cleanse as well as energize the stones at the same time.
Please check that your crystal can be emerged safely in water, since some should not be left to
soak in water as this can have an adverse effect on them. Specifically, porous stones or those
with high metal content.

2) Sunshine and Moonlight


The natural energies transmitted by the Sun and Moon can also energise your crystals with
natural energies. Many people like to leave their newly cleansed stones under Moonlight and
Sunlight for a day or two to allow them to absorb the different energies from the Moon and Sun.
The Sun provides a stronger energy, whereas the Moon has a more gentle energy.
When leaving crystals in Sunlight, please be aware that some coloured stones may fade over a
period of time if left in strong sunlight too often. This can happen with Amethyst, for example. In
this case, try not to leave your crystals in strong sun for more than an hour or so. To be on the
safe side, place in sunlight during sunrise and/or sunset because the sun's rays won't be as strong
during these times of the day.

Physical

Contact

Native Americans believe that it's not always necessary to energize crystals with any of the
above methods because
they will naturally energize themselves from our body's own
energy field when they are picked up and handled, or rubbed between the palms of the hands. So
this is another method you may want to consider.
Feel free to do whatever you feel is best for you and your crystals, or you may wish to use one or
all the above methods when energising your own crystals.
Programming Crystals
Before starting, you may want to clear the room and yourself of extra or unwanted energies by
using a cleansing Smudging Stick or Incense. To program a crystal for specific use or with
specific energies, sit quietly away from distractions or strong electrical devices and external
energies, then hold the crystal in front of you, clear your mind and focus on the stone. Give the
crystal a cleanse with white light as explained above.
Concentrate on the specific energy that you wish to program the crystal with, and 'transmit' the
energies and thoughts from your mind directly to the stone. Be clear and direct when doing this
and don't try to confuse or overload the crystal with different thoughts and energies. Do this until
you feel happy that the required thoughts and energies have been transmitted to the stone.
