Cleansing Phantom Quartz, like other crystals, is essential to clear away any negative energies or impurities that the crystal may have absorbed over time. Here are several methods you can use to cleanse your Phantom Quartz:
Water Cleansing
You can hold your crystal under running cool, clear water, visualising the water washing away any negative energy. Be sure to dry it thoroughly after this method.
Selenite Cleansing
Selenite is a self-cleansing crystal and can be used to cleanse other crystals, including Phantom Quartz. Simply place your Phantom Quartz on a Selenite charging plate or next to a Selenite wand for several hours or overnight. Selenite's pure energy will help cleanse and recharge your crystal.
Sunlight
You can place your Phantom Quartz in direct sunlight for a few hours to cleanse and recharge it. However, be cautious with this method, especially if your crystal has vibrant colours, as prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause fading. Morning sunlight is generally considered gentler than intense afternoon sun.
Moonlight
Charging your Phantom Quartz under the full moon's light is a gentle and effective cleansing method. Place your crystal outside or on a windowsill where it can absorb the moon's energy overnight.
Smudging
Smudging with sage, palo santo, or other cleansing herbs is another effective method. Pass your Phantom Quartz through the smoke while setting your intention to release any negative energy.
Sound Cleansing
You can use sound vibrations to cleanse your Phantom Quartz. Place it near or on a singing bowl, tuning fork, or bell and create sound vibrations. The harmonious sound will help clear away any stagnant energy.
Visualisation
Hold your Phantom Quartz in your hand, close your eyes, and visualise it surrounded by a bright, cleansing light. Imagine this light purifying the crystal, removing any negativity or impurities.
Choosing a cleansing method that resonates with you and aligns with your intentions for the crystal is essential. You can cleanse your Phantom Quartz regularly or whenever you feel its energy needs refreshing.
