The Moon, like the sun, is a very powerful element that you can benefit from throughout your spiritual journey.
In this particular case, the moon’s energies are extremely powerful, especially when cleaning crystals and especially during the full moon phase.

3) Sound bath
We know that everything we hear, we hear because a certain vibration occurs.
What you may not know is that the vibrations of instruments such as the singing bowl, the tune fork or even your voice, release vibrations that are useful for deactivating and cleaning stagnant energies that are contaminating your crystal bracelet.
Therefore, for this method, simply sing or play one of the two instruments mentioned above around the crystal.
4) Smudging ritual
Smudging is the act of burning a plant or a set of medicinal plants collected and offered by our planet Earth.
Some people may confuse this ritual with burning incense but know that it is not the same, since the ritual smudging ends up involving only natural elements, it becomes more efficient.
This method consists of passing your crystal bracelet through the smoke of herbs that you have decided to burn, which can be sage or palo santo.
Smoke of this nature will restore and purify the energies of your crystals.

Very similar to the lunar bath, but with some care to be taken, as the sun can be very harmful to crystals.
Here you will allow your bracelet to be bathed in the Sun’s rays for a few minutes and preferably in the morning or late afternoon.
The energy of the sun helps your crystals, in this case your bracelet, to rejuvenate their vibrational properties.
6) Salt water soak
The name of this method tells you exactly what it consists of.
That being said, in this cleaning, you will soak your crystal bracelet in a container with water at room temperature and diluted salt, the latter of which may be Himalayan salt.
You will leave your crystal in the water for a few minutes and after the time that suits you best, you will wash any remaining salt residue under running water and you are done.
7) Selenite
In general, this is a method used by people who are most experienced in this spiritual journey and for those who have larger pieces of Selenite.
As in this particular method, we will place the crystal bracelet close to or above the Selenite piece.
Since this stone is famous for its cleansing properties and its ability to ward off negative energies, this is precisely what it will do with your other crystals.
