What You Need to Know About the Jewelry You Wear!

We all love getting a new piece of jewelry or beautiful crystal. We might have purchased them to accessorize, or for the healing benefits of the stones. Either way, what many people don’t know is that these new treasures can affect us negatively if they are not cleansed properly.

Let me explain further. Lets say you have your old great-great-grandmothers ruby ring, a family heirloom that has been passed down for generations. Unless that ring has been cleaned, it is carrying the psychic energy of every person who has ever touched it, going all the way back to the miners who mined it.

If you traced the ring back through its history, you could find that the ring had been worn through terrible divorces, war, sickness, and even death - all these experiences would leave negative energy in the gemstone. The gemstone would be carrying impressions of anger, fear, sadness, and loss, to name a few. I am not saying that all of the energy would be negative but you can guarantee that the ruby is caring some energies that you don’t want catching a ride around with you.

Your probably wondering how this is possible?

Crystals and gemstones are alive and store energy. Every time a person touches or handles a crystal they are transferring their energy to it, which the crystal absorbs and stores. Because of this the positive, healing benefits of the crystal are diminished from the dirty energy. Even if you are buying a brand new crystal or piece of jewelry, it is still caring unwanted energies, and the first thing you want to do is cleanse it.

The great news is that it is super easy to clean crystals and jewelry. Following are my top 3 cleansing methods:

  1. Running water - hold the bracelet under the water for 1-2 minutes (preferable using clean water from a moving stream or river, as in the photo below). Water that is clean and filtered can also be used.
  2. Smudging - burn the leaves of white sage, and let the smoke blow over the crystal for 1-4 minutes (incense can also be used).
  3. Salt - use regular table salt in a bowl, cover the crystal in the salt and leave it over night. Some people recommend using salt with water - I don’t because it can be harsh on your crystals and jewelry, dry salt is all you need.

How often should you cleanse your crystals? If you wear them regularly, I recommend daily to once a week. As you attune to your crystals energy you will also be able to tell when it needs a cleaning. Crystals and Gemstones can be energized and can be programmed with specific intentions. Stay tuned for my next blog on how to energize and program your crystals.
