Hardworking crystals need to be cleansed regularly

Crystals used for trauma support often absorb, deflect, or transmute heavy emotional energy. These stones—like black tourmaline, lepidolite, smoky quartz, and amethyst—can become energetically "full" and less effective if not cleansed regularly.

Why cleansing matters:
Just as you might feel weighed down after an emotionally intense day, crystals also need a reset. Regular cleansing helps them stay energetically clear and ready to support you fully.

Simple ways to cleanse your crystals:

• Moonlight: Place your crystals under the full moon overnight to gently clear and recharge.
• Smudging/smoke cleansing: Pass your stones through the smoke of dried herbs like sage, palo santo, or rosemary. In need of a no flame, no smoke option for smudging? Then check out our smokeless smudging guide.
• Sound: Use a singing bowl, chime, or tuning fork to cleanse with sound vibration. Music can work too, try chanting or solfeggio.
• Selenite plate: Rest your crystals on a piece of selenite for a few hours—it’s a self-cleansing stone that clears others.
• Water: For water-safe stones like smoky quartz or amethyst, rinse under cool running water (avoid water for selenite, lepidolite, or black tourmaline).

Frequency: For trauma-support crystals, aim to cleanse them at least once a week, or more often if you're going through an emotionally intense time.

How to protect and reclaim your energy

Visualisation and Energy Shielding

The mind is a powerful tool. Visualisation can create energetic boundaries and repel unwanted influence.

Simple Energy Shield Exercise:

1. Sit quietly, breathe deeply.

2. Visualise a glowing white or golden light radiating from your heart or crown.

3. See this light expanding until it forms a strong protective bubble all the way around you.

4. Affirm: “I am protected. My energy is my own. Only love and light may enter.”

Repeat this in the morning, before entering spaces that may make you uncomfortable or trigger responses.

Cord Cutting Exercise

A cord cutting ritual helps release energetic ties to people, situations, or past experiences that no longer serve your highest good. These “cords” can keep us emotionally entangled or drained, even after physical separation.

Simple Cord Cutting Steps:

Create a calm space – light a candle, hold a grounding crystal (like Black Tourmaline, Obsidian or Hematite).

Visualise the cord – see the energetic cord between you and the person or situation.

Call in light – ask for healing and protection (you might call on your higher self, angels, or guides).

Cut the cord – visualise cutting it with light, a blade, or scissors—gently and with love.

Seal the space – send love to both sides, and visualise golden light filling your body and aura.

This is not about anger or rejection—it’s about reclaiming your energy and releasing what you’ve outgrown.

Final Thoughts

✨ Stay empowered. Stay protected. Stay in your light. ✨
