✨ How to Cleanse Your Crystals ✨

At Numina, we believe that crystals are more than beautiful stones—they are vessels of energy, wisdom, and healing. Just like us, crystals absorb vibrations from the environments and people around them. Over time, these energies can become heavy or stagnant, which is why cleansing is essential to restore their natural frequency and vitality.

Why Cleanse Crystals?

Crystals hold and amplify energy. When they are used frequently for meditation, healing, or intention-setting, they can also pick up stress, negativity, or emotional residue. Cleansing your crystals allows them to release this build-up and return to their purest state—ready to support you with clarity and light.

Methods to Cleanse Your Crystals

There are many gentle and effective ways to cleanse crystals. Choose the one that resonates most with you:

🌙 Moonlight
Place your crystals under the light of the moon, especially during the Full Moon, when lunar energy is at its peak. Moonlight offers a soft, nurturing cleanse that works well for all types of stones.

☀️ Sunlight
The sun’s radiant energy can recharge and awaken crystals with vitality. Leave your stones in the morning or afternoon sun for a few hours. ⚠️ Note: Some crystals (such as amethyst or rose quartz) may fade with prolonged sunlight exposure.

💨 Smoke Cleansing
Pass your crystals through the smoke of incense, sage, or palo santo. This method is excellent for clearing away heavy or negative vibrations.

🌿 Earth Energy
Return your crystals to the embrace of the Earth by placing them in soil overnight. This method is grounding and especially powerful for stones connected to stability and protection.

🔮 Crystal Clusters
Place smaller crystals on a larger clear quartz or amethyst cluster. These powerful stones naturally cleanse and recharge other crystals.

Setting Intention

After cleansing, always reconnect with your crystal through intention. Hold it in your hands, close your eyes, and softly affirm:
“You are cleansed, recharged, and ready to serve with light and truth.”
This simple act aligns the crystal’s vibration with your personal energy and purpose.

Final Thoughts

Cleansing crystals is not only a practice of care but also an act of connection. By taking time to honor your stones, you deepen your bond with them and enhance their ability to guide, heal, and empower you.

At Numina, we encourage you to treat each cleansing as a small ritual of self-care—a moment to pause, breathe, and align with the flow of the universe.
