3 simple methods to cleanse your Garnet
A simple cleansing routine is ideal. You want something that is easy, relaxing, and will have you showing up as your best self. You don’t want to become frustrated or overwhelmed during a cleansing. The three simple methods for cleansing your Garnet are:
- Sound
- Visualization
- Sage
Let’s explore these cleansing methods and how you can start cleansing your Garnet today.
Method 1: Cleanse your Garnet using sound
Sound energy is a popular and simple way to cleanse your Garnet. You can use whatever sound you are drawn to and brings you good feelings. If you play an instrument, that would be perfect for use during a cleansing.
You can experiment to find what suits you best; it’s your practice and the more feel-good vibes you get from the sound you will bring to the cleansing.
Singing bowls, flutes, chimes, bells, and drums are commonly used for sound energy cleansing. You can also pray, sing, chant, or repeat a mantra.
Start by setting your intentions for this cleansing session and begin the sound you have chosen. Focus on your Garnet and let the music surround your crystal while you visualize the sound breaking free stuck, toxic vibrations and carrying them away.
Maintain your focus for 10 mins on each crystal that you are cleansing.
Method 2: Cleanse your Garnet with visualization
Visualization is a wonderful way to use your own energy to cleanse your Garnet. You will cleanse and form a strong connection with your crystal at the same time.
If you plan to use visualization as your cleansing method, something to keep in mind is to be mindful of your energy levels. If you are only cleansing one or two crystals, you will be ok, but if you are working with a larger collection, you may start to feel worn out.
You want to stop and take a break when you are feeling this way. Keeping your energy fresh and positive is important.
Start by getting comfortable in a quiet spot where you won’t be disturbed. Hold your Garnet in your hand and close your eyes. State your intentions to cleanse your Garnet and begin to visualize a bright white light surrounding your crystal.
As the light gets brighter, visualize it burning up the toxic, negative energy in your Garnet and returning them to the Universe. Focus on your crystal for 30 seconds or longer until you feel a shift in its vibration.
Trust your intuition to know when your Garnet has returned to its base frequency.
Method 3: Cleanse your Garnet with sage
Burning sage is an age-old practice for cleansing spaces, people, and crystals. You will need some sage leaves either wrapped into a bundle or loose; white sage is commonly used for cleansing. You will need a bowl to catch the ashes or let the sage smolder in. A light or match and some people like to use a feather to move the smoke around. If you don’t have a feather or are not able to find one, you can use your hand.
You will want to open your windows before lighting the sage. The negative energies need to be released outside, and you don’t want to set off the fire alarms. Light your sage and let it burn for about 30 seconds before blowing it out. It will continue to smolder and release smoke. Set your intentions and start wafting the smoke around your Garnet, letting the smoke engulf your crystal. Visualize the smoke breaking apart the unwanted energies and carrying them off to be returned to the Universe. Focus on one crystal at a time and maintain that focus for at least 30 seconds. If you feel it’s necessary, you can cleanse your crystal for longer.

After you have cleansed your Garnet, you can charge it in the sunlight. Find a sunny spot outside or a windowsill, set your intentions, and leave your Garnet for four hours to bask in the charging rays of the sun.
