Written by Sam Stevens


Continued from page 1
The Sea Salt Method: Buryrepparttar crystal in a jar or bowl filled with sea salt and let it sit overnight. Do not userepparttar 105662 salt for cooking or ingesting or bathing in after this though. Some prefer to soakrepparttar 105663 crystal in seawater. If you live near an ocean that's great, but you can make your own 'sea water' by just adding a couple of spoonfuls of sea salt to a container of water. The best container for either procedure is glass or ceramic. Don't leave your stones or crystals in there more that 24 hours as too much salt can cause a crystal to start growing a limb or developing a seam. After 24 hours rinserepparttar 105664 crystals with water, preferably spring or distilled water. Smudging: Smudging a crystal involves passingrepparttar 105665 crystal through smoke. Usuallyrepparttar 105666 source ofrepparttar 105667 smoke is a burning bundle of cedar or sage (this can also be purchased in new age or health stores.) You can also clear crystals usingrepparttar 105668 smoke from rosemary, sage, frankincense, myrrh or Tibetan temple incense. This ritual finds its origins in both Native American and pagan traditions. Breath: Holdrepparttar 105669 crystal in your dominant hand, or if you bought a huge one, in both of your hands. Focus your thoughts onrepparttar 105670 crystal and imbue it withrepparttar 105671 intention of freeing it of all negative influences and energy. As you hold this intention in your thoughts, inhale forcefully through your nose and exhale forcefully onrepparttar 105672 stone. The idea is that your breath cleansesrepparttar 105673 rock and makes it your own. This is an Eastern as well as Nordic tradition for clearing objects. It will only work if you do feel truly connected torepparttar 105674 divine as you are doing it. If you easily attach emotions, resentments, or are in a bad mood, save this technique for another day. After you have cleansed your crystal, you need to "charge it" with your intention. There are ways of doing this and you might want to use your imagination. For some charging a crystal is a simple as holding it in your hand, meditating and pouring your intention into it. Others charge their crystal by a stream (for cleansing), at high tide at sea (for vitality and health), at low tide (for slowing down, relaxation), duringrepparttar 105675 New Moon (for new beginnings) or duringrepparttar 105676 full moon (for abundance)/ Single crystals or stones may also be charged by placing them on a cluster of crystals that have already been charged or on an altar that has been dedicated torepparttar 105677 Divine in some way. The changing of crystals is a personal matter and it is vital to use your imagination when it comes to know how and where isrepparttar 105678 right time to do it. After you are done chargingrepparttar 105679 crystal, keep it close to you, and soon you will start to notice subtle changes within yourself.
