Selenite is a popular crystal among many healers and crystal workers, and it is a great crystal for beginners as well. Selenite is a crystal that is used for protection and for mental clarity.
Selenite comes in many different colors and finishes and is one of the only self-cleansing crystals you can find.
It can be used for healing different Chakras, and certain colors will be better for certain Chakras.
While reading this article, you will find out more about Selenite, and how you can activate it and incorporate it into your daily routines!
How to activate Selenite Crystal: Step-by-step
While Selenite is known to have a high vibration frequency and be self-cleansing, it is a good idea to still activate and cleanse your crystal from time to time. It is self-cleansing, so because it can take on energy from other crystals and clear them, it is also good practice to clear your Selenite as well.
There are several ways you can cleanse and activate your Selenite. Cleansing and activating your Selenite are both important and both should be done from time to time.
Here are some easy steps you can follow for activating your Selenite:
Step one: Cleanse your stone
As a first step, you can actually cleanse your stone so that you are essentially starting fresh. While some people don’t believe you need to cleanse Selenite, it’s good practice to do it once at the beginning at least so that you can set the right intention.
Step Two: Hold your stone or place it on the Chakra you want to use it with
You will want to physically hold your stone. While doing this, imagine positive energy flowing towards the stone, and through you, while negative energy is cast away from you. This should be a fluid motion – positive energy in and negative energy out.
Step Three: Don’t forget to breath
The power of your breath is greater than you think. It is the main focus of all meditations, yoga practices, and many other situations.
Try inhaling for 4 seconds, holding your breath for 4 seconds, exhaling for 4 seconds, holding for 4 seconds. This is called a box breath exercise, and while it can be considered a beginner breathing exercise – it is still powerful!
Step Four: Focus your energy
Once you are breathing and imagining the positive energy flowing into you – it is time to set an intention. If you are wanting to use this stone with your Crown Chakra for mental clarity, you can say this intention out loud or think it. If you want to use it for protection, you can say that out loud as well, or just think it to yourself.
Whatever your intentions may be, focus on them and in turn send that energy into the crystal. This will set its intention and it can then start to work in your favor.
Selenite Healing properties
Selenite magical properties can vary depending on the type of stone you get. Selenite can come in different colors and finishes. For example, regular Selenite is a clear stone and is mostly used for protection and peace. Peach Selenite can range from orange, peach, to red and is also used for protection and peace, but is also often used for the Sacral Chakra, promoting healthy relationships and pleasure.
No matter the color or finish, selenite magical properties will be apparent in every Selenite stone you get.
These benefits include but are not limited to:
- Protecting your space and yourself.
- Promoting calmness and peacefulness.
- Healing your self-confidence.
- Eliminating negative energy
- Healing your self-image and promoting stronger relationships.
How to tell if Selenite is real?
Selenite can come in a variety of colors and finishes, so sometimes it can be hard to tell if a stone is genuine or not. Selenite will be a clear stone with no prismatic characteristics. Real Selenite is actually quite rare, so it is usually a bit more expensive.
More commonly, you see Satin Spar in storefronts being sold as genuine Selenite. You can ask the store owner about where their stones come from to get some clarity.
How to use selenite to cleanse crystals?
One of the best benefits of Selenite and all its variations is that it is a self-cleansing and stone cleansing crystal. This means that not only does it cleanse itself, but it also cleanses the crystals around it.
There are a couple of ways you can do this, and we will go over those now.
Step One: Cleanse your Selenite crystal first
If you are using your Selenite crystal for the purpose of cleansing your other crystals, it is always a good idea to cleanse that crystal first. Even though these crystals are self-cleansing, this will just be an added bonus to ensure there are no negative energies and that your crystal can clear the energy of your other crystals.
Our favorite way to do this is by moonlight. Pick a night when the moon is close to or at its fullest and leave your Selenite on your window ledge. The Selenite will soak up the moonlight, recharging itself.
Step Two: Place your Crystal around your other crystals
The great thing about Selenite and cleansing other stones is that it is very easy! You can simply place your Selenite close to your other crystals. Being in close proximity to this high-frequency stone will cleanse your other crystals.
Step Three: For an extra boost, place your other crystals on top of your Selenite
If you want to ensure your stones are fully ridden of any negative energy – or if you have a modest stone collection, you can actually place the stone on top of your Selenite. If you have a large stone collection this can be extremely time-consuming, but if you only have a few, this is a great extra step.
Some people even buy Selenite bowls so that the cleansing process becomes even easier.
