Other Crystal Cleansing Instructions
 
CLEANSING AND PROGRAMMING CRYSTALS AT OUR BOUTIQUE & SHOW ROOM:
Customers in our showroom/physical store have witnessed this before their eyes: We have our signature three-way cleansing method that clears the residual negative energy in the crystals, imbues it with the graces of the 8 auspicious symbols, and programs it to receive instructions from its owner.
 
CLEANSING AND PROGRAMMING CRYSTALS THAT YOU RECEIVE VIA SHIPMENT:
We do the process mentioned above before packing the crystals for shipment.  Once the package arrives, open the pouch, hold the crystal product (mala, bracelet, pendant, tumbled stone, etc.) using your left hand, focus on the crystal, and tell the crystal what to do.  It is now ready for use.
 
 
 
How to Make Your Own CRYSTAL CLEANSING STATION at home or at the office?
You may re-use ziplock pouches it and put rock/himalayan salt or sea salt inside, just enough so the whole surface of the pouch is full and can be laid down to form an almost flat surface. Close the pouch.  No actual contact between the salt and crystal necessary.  You can leave your crystal mala, bracelet, or pendant there for a couple of hours so that the rock salt can absorb the negativity that the crystals have absorbed through use.  You, the owner, will feel if the crystal is ready to be used gain.  Just  hold the crystal product (mala, bracelet, pendant, tumbled stone, etc.) using your left hand, focus on the crystal, and tell the crystal what to do.  It is now ready for use again.
When to cleanse your crystal again?  Your intuition will tell you when it's time.
You may change the rock/sea salt after a couple of months.  You may use any pouch or platic to replace the old one.
In programming crystals, always remember that the most important things are FOCUS, INTENTION, and POSITIVITY.
