3 Simple methods to cleanse Chrysocolla
When it comes to cleansing Chrysocolla or any crystal for that matter, it is important to keep your routine simple. There is a certain power that simplicity brings. It is important that you are showing up to your cleansing sessions with a positive attitude. If you are dreading the performance of a long, complicated cleansing routine, you will most definitely not be showing up as the best version of yourself.
Three simple cleansing methods for Chrysocolla are:
- Brown rice
- Sage
- Sound
Let’s take a deeper look at how these cleansing methods are performed and get you started in your crystal cleansing journey today.
Method 1: Cleanse your Chrysocolla with brown rice
Brown rice is excellent to use for cleansing your Chrysocolla. It absorbs toxic energies and will rebalance the energies of the crystals, leaving them renewed.
You will need a plastic container with a lid that is large enough to hold your Chrysocolla.
Place your crystal in the container and cover with rice. The more contact, the better. After covering the Chrysocolla with rice, set your intentions and then close the lid.
Put the container somewhere it won’t be knocked over or disturbed for the next 12 hours.
After you have finished cleansing your crystals, discard the rice.
Method 2: Cleanse your Chrysocolla with sage
Sage is a powerful tool to use as a cleanser for your Chrysocolla. This unassuming herb has been used for centuries as a cleanser for homes, people, and crystals.
The thick smoke from the sage will capture and carry away any negative energies it encounters.
Begin by opening up a window or two to allow the smoke to escape during the cleansing. Then proceed to light your bundle or loose-leaf sage, let it burn for about 30 seconds, set your intentions, and then blow out.
It will continue to smoke. Fan the smoke towards your Chrysocolla using a feather or your hands and visualize the smoke breaking up the negative energies and then carrying them away.
Focus on each of your crystals for at least 30 seconds, longer if you feel it is necessary.
Method 3: Cleanse your Chrysocolla with sound
There are no rules that need to be followed when performing a sound energy cleansing. Find a sound that feels good to you.
It can be you singing, praying, or playing your favourite instrument, or you can try singing bowls, bells, chimes, or anything that resonates with you.
You want to first set your intentions for this cleansing session. Begin the sound of your choosing and visualize the notes breaking up the negative energy in your Chrysocolla and carrying it away.
Focus on each piece for about 10 minutes longer if needed, and then move on to your next crystal.
