Like other crystals, cleansing Epidote is essential to remove any negative energies and restore its vibrational purity. There are several methods you can use to cleanse Epidote:
Running Water
Hold your Epidote under a gentle stream of cool, running water for a few minutes. Visualise the water washing away any negative energies and impurities. Ensure the water is not too forceful, as some Epidote specimens can be relatively soft and damaged by strong currents.
Salt Water Soak
You can create a mild saltwater solution by mixing a tablespoon of sea salt or Himalayan salt with a water bowl. Immerse your Epidote in this solution for a few hours. Rinse it thoroughly under running water afterwards to remove any salt residue, as some crystals may be sensitive to salt.
Selenite Charging
Place your Epidote on a selenite charging plate or next to a piece of selenite overnight. Selenite has cleansing and purifying properties and can help recharge your crystal.
Sunlight
You can cleanse Epidote by placing it in direct sunlight for a few hours. Be mindful not to expose it to direct sunlight for an extended period, as prolonged exposure may cause the green colour to fade.
Moonlight
Charging your Epidote under the light of a full moon is another gentle and effective method. Leave it outside or by a windowsill during a full moon night to absorb the moon's cleansing energy.
Smudging
Pass your Epidote through the smoke of white sage, palo santo, or other cleansing herbs. Allow the smoke to surround the crystal and visualise releasing negative energies.
Sound Cleansing
You can use sound vibrations from singing bowls, bells, or even a tuning fork to cleanse your Epidote. Simply sound the instrument near the crystal; the vibrations will clear away any impurities.
Visualisation
Hold your Epidote in your hands and focus on cleansing and purifying it. Visualise a bright, white light surrounding the crystal, clearing away any negativity and restoring its energy.
Choose the cleansing method that resonates with you and feels most appropriate for your Epidote. It's a good practice to cleanse your crystal regularly, especially if you've been using it for healing or energy work, to ensure it continues to work at its best and maintains its positive energy.
