Using the power of moon and sun cleansing has been well documented since ancient times. This is one of our favourite methods of cleansing our crystals. Moon and Sun Cleansing is completely non-harming to our beautiful earth and yet harnesses the power which Mother Earth bestows on us.
Moon Cleansing:
Placing your crystals outside on a tray on on a windowsill overnight on the nights of the Full or New Moon is the perfect way to cleanse your crystals. For completely clearing your crystal and for setting new intentions, the New Moon is perfect. If you prefer to charge your crystal with full on power, the Full Moon is for you. Many sensitive individuals can feel the power of the Full and New Moon and your crystals do the same. This is because the moon and surrounding planetary energy is much more intense and amplified at this time. This makes the crystal cleanse super powerful.
It is worth noting that if is unsafe for your crystals to be left outside overnight or you are concerned, you can place your stones internally on your windowsill or inside your car by the windscreen and this will have the same effect. Remember, intention is always the key!
Sun Cleansing:
A natural way to cleanse and charge your crystals is to place outside in the sunshine. This is a fabulous way in reviving a dull or overloaded stone and to make the crystal vibrant once again. Easily accessible (for most people) allowing your crystals time in the sunshine, will remove any negativity and will charge the crystal so it’s revitilised and like new.
Placing your crystals outside in the direct sun for around an hour or two is enough to cleanse fully. It is very important to remember that some crystals cannot be cleansed in the direct sunlight as they can fade. It’s best to avoid placing crystals like smokey quartz, rose quartz, amethyst, opal etc. Do your research before you cleanse in this way.
