Visualization

Over time your crystals will absorb negative energy that must be cleansed in order to allow them to operate at their highest power. Cleansing crystals will remove this negative energy and allow you to experience their benefits again and again.

One of the best ways to cleanse crystals is with Visualization. While this may not be the most powerful process for cleansing crystals, it is something that can be done almost anywhere at any time with any crystal.

Below we will guide you through the process of Visualization cleansing. This incredibly convenient method will help you and your crystals remove any inharmonious energies that may have been absorbed.

Intention and Visualization are a huge part of crystal work. Tapping into the spiritual nature of crystal healing, charging, and cleansing is deeply reliant on your ability to tap into the natural vibrations given off by both you and your crystals.

To cleanse your crystals with Visualization:

1. Step 1

   First, find a spot where you feel at ease and are able to tap into a positive natural energy field.

2. Step 2

   Hold your crystal in the palm of your non-dominant hand. Hold your other hand over the top of the crystal to help channel your energy into the crystal.

3. Step 3

   Close your eyes and Visualize a strong cleansing light coming from your Third Eye and flowing directly into the crystal.

4. Step 4

   State your Intention to clearly define the purpose of your cleansing.

5. Step 5

   Now we begin the healing process. Settle into a deep meditative state to connect with the natural state of the crystal.

6. Step 6

   Visualize the surrounding positive energy flowing into your crystal, pushing the negative energies out and restoring your crystal.

7. Step 7

   Complete the process with a prayer thanking the Earth for allowing her positive feminine energy to cleanse your crystals.

While Visualization is one of the most convenient methods for cleansing your crystals, it can also be the most demanding on you personally.

To explain how this cleansing method works, we first have to understand how everything in the universe is connected. All things (us, our crystals, trees, the air, and even the Earth herself) are vibrating at particular frequencies.

Sometimes these frequencies are off and exude negative energy. When this happens, we must balance their energy by attempting to clear inharmonious vibrations.

Essentially, Visualization uses your own energy to help remove the negative energy. If you are truly connected with your crystals you will be able to see the impurities flushing out of them.

Be mindful that Visualization can be incredibly demanding, both physically and mentally, as well as psychically. You must use your own sense of positivity and balance to cleanse your crystals, which will be exhausting and slightly overwhelming when attempted too often or with too many crystals.

It may take too much energy to effectively cleanse and restore a crystal’s energy without proper preparation.

Where Does the Unwanted Energy Go?

Positive and negative energy, when observed from a large enough space, are always in balance. However, a particular area, object, or person can be out of balance when too much-unwanted energy moves in.

Our crystals absorb these negative energies and allow for positive healing vibes to enter the area. Upon cleansing, the unwanted bad energy releases back into the universe.

Visualization is one of the best methods for cleansing crystals as it requires virtually no setup and can be done with any crystals.

The Visualization cleansing process takes place on the spiritual plane, which all crystals and stones are connected with. Of course, smaller crystals and smaller stones are easier to cleanse with Visualization, as balancing a larger stone’s vibrations will require more energy from you.

Other Methods for Cleansing Crystals

If you find that a particular crystal or stone’s energy is too much to cleanse with Visualization, there are a number of different methods that crystals respond to.

Crystals act differently when exposed to different methods of cleansing. For example, rose quartz and amethyst geodes have different healing properties and will require different energy to charge and be cleansed properly.

Find out which methods will work best before you charge your crystals.

• moonlight

  The bright white light of a full moon is a wonderful charging and cleansing method.

• Sunlight

  Set your crystals in direct sunlight near an open window for a few hours to cleanse and recharge their positive, energetic level.

• Candles

  Allow the radiant light of a candle to absorb into your crystals, cleansing and recharging them.

• Smudging

  Burning a white sage stick near your crystals lets them absorb the healing smoke from this sacred plant.

• Sound bath

  A Tibetan singing bowl can be used to bathe your crystals in sound, restoring their frequencies. If you do not have a singing bowl, a tuning fork can work just as well.

• Rice

  Bury your crystals and stones a few inches deep in a bowl of brown rice to allow the toxic vibes to be absorbed from them.

• Saltwater

  Soak your crystals in salt water to cleanse them. If you don’t have access to a natural ocean or lake, tap water mixed with sea salt is just fine.

• Running water

  The natural running water of a stream is amazing for healing crystals and other stones.

• Deep Breaths

  Hold your crystals in your hand, take a deep breath, and breath out rapidly onto them to push negative energy out.

Conclusion

Cleansing is important for your ensuring your crystals work the way you need them to. Visualization is an amazing method, but it may not always help you achieve the results you are looking for when cleansing your stones and other crystals.

If this is the case, you may try combining several methods. Use the Visualization process while meditating in the natural light of the moon with the sacred smoke of a burning sage stick flowing in from nearby.
