Crystals have the unique ability to attract negative energy, acting as a magnet for all the lingering negativity that surrounds us. While some crystals possess the power to neutralize this negative energy on their own, most require a thorough cleansing process to rid them of these unwanted vibes. One effective method is to place the crystals outside during the full moon, but it's crucial to ensure they rest on natural ground cover rather than artificial surfaces like cement or rocks. By positioning these crystals on the earth, we can set our intention for Mother Earth to absorb and neutralize the negative energy that plagues them, while simultaneously allowing the full moon to shower its radiant light upon them, releasing all the trapped negativity. It's important to leave the crystals outside throughout the entire process of the full moon cycle, and if possible, even allow them to bask in the sunlight the following day, amplifying the power of purification and clearing within the crystals. Alternatively, an effective cleansing technique involves burying the crystals underground for an entire moon cycle. This time-honored practice of burying objects in the backyard, as the age-old saying goes, serves as a means to remove unwanted energies. By placing the crystals within the earth, marking the exact spot where they were buried, we can allow the energy of each successive full moon to work its magic over the course of a month, absorbing and clearing away all the negative energy. This burying method is also applicable to jewelry and other objects that can safely withstand exposure to the elements and be submerged in a river or body of water. So, whether you opt for the gentle caress of moonlight or the grounding power of Mother Earth, these cleansing rituals will surely restore your crystals' pristine energy, ready to serve you once again.
