I will share with you the knowledge I have attained over the years by study and actual practicalexperience.
CARE AND CLEANSING OF THE STONES
Choosing a stone is the easy part so far, but the stone must be cared for. TAKE CARE OF A ROCK??[you may be saying].My answer is, of course take care of the rocks. They have and energy and force as well that they share with us. Some of the legends say that each stone has a spirit in it. Care of the stones helps keep them free of the energies that may influence them negatively,and make it possible for them to not work properly.
People often carry, or work with stones for spiritual purposes or protection. A stone overloaded with poor vibes will weaken your aura and invite serious trouble spiritually.
What is needed to cleanse the stones? Two of the things most prevalent on the planet, water and salt. I would like to remind you that there are as many appropriate ways to clean a stone as there ARE stones! No one way is the only correct method, and each method is unique to the users ideology.
Cleansing is a ritual [not a dirty word :-)] that should always be done with new stones BEFORE you begin to use them for your own purposes. Why? Because just like you have been testing their energy, so have others, and their energy may not have been so 'healthy' from a metaphysical standpoint. It WILL affect you if not removed.
Keep in mind that with quartz, this family of stones cannot be 'poisoned' to the best of my knowledge beyond repair and use. This is so because negative energy only sits on its surface, and does not go deep into the stone, as is the case with some other gemstones/crystals.
The first thing is to wash your stone with a mild soap, all natural if possible, and rinse well. Using coarse sea salt, or kosher salt [available at most supermarkets] you can do one of the following:
1] bury the stones in a pot of salt for 24 hours
2] using, 1/2 c. sea salt to one quart of cold water, place the stone in the solution for 24hrs.
3] bury the stones in the earth for 24 hours. After 24 hours, remove the stones, and check the vibrations, if all is well then on to the next step. If not, then discard all old salt, solutions, and earth and start again for another 24 hours until the stone feels positive to you.
Another method of cleansing and resetting the stones energy is to use visualization. This is only recommended for those who already have some skill in this area. The stones dont need to wait for you to perfect a new technique before cleansing. :-)
Simply put, SEE a white pure light coming up form the earth and entering the bottom of the crystal, and exiting thru the top of the stone. It is not necessary to close your eyes, but do what makes you comfortable. :-) Alternate this with gold light, to charge and empower the stone.
The most popular method of charging the stone is to leave it in direct sun for at least eight hours. The stone will be ready for your personal use.
A regular procedure of cleansing,charging, and empowering, will help your friend from the mineral kingdom serve you better. :-]
REMEMBER THE METHODS LISTED ABOVE ARE FOR THE STONES WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING SO FAR WHICH IS QUARTZ, A VERY HARD STONE. THESE METHODS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR CERTAIN KINDS OF STONES AS SALT WATER WILL DISSOLVE THEM. AND DO NOT USE THEM ON YOUR METALS. METHODS FOR CARING FOR THESE WILL BE MENTIONED WHEN THEY ARE DISCUSSED HERE ON THE PAGE.:-) SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT.
Thank you for walking with me thus far.
