Crystals have been used since ancient times to assist in healing and the changing of thought patterns, which then enables healing. We are all made from energy, all matter is energy and crystals each have their own specific energy vibration which will, when in close proximity to our own energy, affect the speed at which we energetically vibrate. This is because our vibration rate will try to become the same as that of the crystal. By meditating with a crystal or by using it to focus on an area of healing, it will magnify the effect of the process. Crystals are also able to store energy, so the more often you use a particular crystal for the same thing, the more powerful it will become in assisting you. Crystals can store energy, whether it is good or bad, so periodically, it is necessary to clear your crystals of any negative energy that they have picked up from being used. Even a crystal sitting in a room full of people will pick up the energy from those around it. It will leave the people feeling good, but the crystal will have changed its energetic vibration slightly by all of the negative energy in the room. It is then necessary to ‘clear’ and ‘re-program the crystal to vibrate at its original speed in order for it to continue being beneficial in healing. Crystals come from inside the Earth, and therefore putting them back in the Earth is a good way of cleansing and reenergizing them. You can either place the directly into the soil, or you can wrap them in a small piece of cloth first and then dig a small hole in your garden and place them into it for a day. This will allow them to return to their original vibration and to dispel all the negative energies that they have picked up through use. You can also use either the light from the sun or the moon to cleanse and recharge your crystals. On the night of a full moon, place your crystals somewhere where directly in the moonlight and allow them to soak up the energy of the moon and cleanse themselves of the negative. The morning sun will have the same effect on your crystals but do not leave them in bright sunlight for too long or they will fade. No more than a couple of hours are necessary for this method to work. Crystals can be cleansed by smudging with white sage, pass them through the smoke of the sage and you will effectively have a happy crystal again. Other methods are, wash in a clear running stream, or in salt water. Use Reiki to cleanse and recharge by filling your crystal up with the Reiki energy. Also the method of intent, if you are any good at visualising and setting your intent, you can meditate with your crystal and clear it this way. There are so many crystals available; it can be mind boggling to decide which crystals you need.
