The gemstone energy medicine movement resurfaced decades ago with interest in crystals for healing and crystal clusters for uplifting the vibrations of rooms. If healing stones are properly cared for, their capabilities are extensive. When applied therapeutically, crystals help release unwanted energies from the patient's body and aura. In time, these unwanted energies collect on the crystals' surface as well as in the energy field that surrounds them. Much like the clutter on a desk can get in the way of your ability to work, the unwanted energies on a crystal get in the way of its healing powers, and the stones must be cleansed.

If you use crystal clusters in your home or office to help keep the room's atmosphere clear and uplifted, cleanse the crystals every time you dust, or about once every week or two. This will allow them to work at their best. Healing crystals should be cleansed after every treatment session in which you use them. If you do not cleanse your crystals as suggested, three consequences may occur. First, negative energies that the healing crystals pick up could be transmitted to the next person who receives the treatment. Second, you as the practitioner may unconsciously pick up these energies. Finally, the crystal may continue to absorb the unwanted energies, which will further cloud the crystal, making it less effective as a healing tool.

The good news is that crystals respond particularly well to cleansing. Start by cleansing your healing crystals with water. This will remove the dust and dirt that accumulates on the crystals' surface. Use running water from your sink only if your tap water is non-chlorinated. You will also need an old toothbrush and some mild soap or detergent. Hold your crystals under the running water, put some detergent on the toothbrush, and brush the crystal surfaces.

While the soap removes the physical dirt and dust from the crystals, the motion of the running water helps to remove unwanted energies your healing crystals may have picked up during therapeutic use, or while helping to keep the energy in a room uplifted and clear. If your tap water is treated, pour some purified water into a large measuring cup or pitcher. Cleanse the crystals with the soapy toothbrush as before, but rather than using your faucet, rinse them by pouring the purified water over them.

Once the crystals are physically cleansed, you can also clear their energy field using a gem formula energy clearing cleansing spray. This will eliminate unwanted energies that the energy field may have picked up.

While using soap and running water over your crystals is effective for removing unwanted energies, this method is not effective in clearing electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that the crystals may have picked up from a patient's body and aura during a therapy session. Crystals can also absorb EMR from environments with high electromagnetic fields. A gem formula EMR protection spray was designed to handle this situation. Spray your crystals with this formula to rid them of electromagnetic radiation.

Next, spray your crystals with a gem formula diamond healing rejuvenating spray. This will clear accumulated energy from the crystals' blueprints to bring forward information about their true purpose. You as the practitioner can intuitively decide the distance from the crystals to hold the spray, and also at what angle. The more carefully you customize the spray cleanse, the more effective it will be.

By using both soap and water to physically clean your crystals, and gem formula sprays to energetically clear them, your crystals will be able to express their maximum healing potential.
