Paano linisin at i-charge ang isang kristal

  • Smoke: pass it through rosemary, sage or incense smoke.
  • Moonlight: leave it on a windowsill overnight, especially at the full moon.
  • Earth: bury it in a pot of soil for a day.
  • Sound: ring a bell or singing bowl near it.
  • Water: rinse briefly in running water. Avoid this for selenite, which dissolves, and for soft or porous stones.
