How to Cleanse your Crystal Ball
There are many ways to cleanse a crystal ball; one of the easiest ways is to place the sphere into a bowl of distilled water, with a pinch of salt in the water. I like to use sea salt as its more natural, but in all honesty you can use any kind of salt including table salt. Pour enough water over the ball to cover it and let it sit for about 30-minutes to an hour before using. Then take it out of the water and towel dry it off, pour the water out (down the sink is fine), and your ready to go. If you want to do a deeper more complete cleansing then do the same as above but leave the ball in the water over night and allow the moonlight to touch it. Full moon is best as its most powerful, but any moonlight will work.
If you are using the ball one session right after another, say in readings for different individuals, then you will want to clean the ball each time. As the above method would be time consuming and not practical. You can do a short cleanse which is fairly simple. Light a stick incense something like, Sandalwood, Nag Champa, Goddess, Blue Roses or even Sage, and use the smoke of the crystal to cleanse the ball of any mis-aligned energies. The choice of incense is important, as it should be one that has cleansing properties. Each time your finished pick up the ball and pass it through the smoke of the incense, say:
I cleanse this ball from energies within
Pure, clean and focused to use again
Crystal ball its Truth I seek
As into possible futures I peek
So Mote It Be!
Then you're ready to use it again. Yet I must tell you this is just quick clean. At the end of the day you should cleanse the ball overnight in water, to really cleanse it of the energies that flowed through it that day.
So now you are ready to move on to actual use of the crystal ball. The steps involved are found on the other pages.
Remember it takes practice so dont be upset if it doesn't work right away. Take your time, allow the crystal and your energies to match, it will work!
Because crystals absorb energy, both positive and negative, from time to time they will all require cleansing. There is nothing mysterious in that fact. We just need to find out the best way that's all.
To cleanse my own crystals I use a mixture of Sunlight, Moonlight and a herb called Sage. Simply follow your own instinct and choose your own method.
You can start by holding your crystals under running water, shake dry and place in Sunlight for a day or Moonlight for a night. Sage is also excellent to use. I have a crystal ball stand that has room for a charcoal bloc underneath it. I light the charcoal and sprinkle dried sage on it for about a minute, as I turn the ball.. The smoke will smudge the crystal ball and clear the energy inside. Simply place under running water and allow to dry naturally and that's it.
CLEANSING YOUR CRYSTAL BALL
The most appropriate way to cleanse your crystal ball is by placing it under the full moon, I bathe mine in sea-salt water, but some rub frankincense on theirs, do what feels right for you. If it is unsuitable for you to leave your crystal ball outside, put it in either a window box, or on the window sill indoors.
A piece of black cloth is ideal for covering your crystal when not in use as they are notorious for absorbing surrounding energy & will therefore need to be constantly recharged. They will also attract the sunlight & cause a fire, so please keep them away from direct sunlight by covering it up.
