Cleansing Watermelon Tourmaline, like any other crystal, is essential to clear it of any negative energies. There are several methods you can use to cleanse Watermelon Tourmaline:
Running Water
Hold your Watermelon Tourmaline under gently flowing, lukewarm water. As the water flows over the crystal, visualise any negative energies being washed away and replaced with pure, revitalising energy. You can also use natural running water, like a river or stream, for this purpose if it's accessible.
Moonlight
Place your Watermelon Tourmaline under the light of the full moon overnight. The moon's energy is gentle and purifying, and it can help cleanse and recharge your crystal.
Sunlight
Although some tourmalines can fade in prolonged direct sunlight, Watermelon Tourmaline is generally safe to place in sunlight for a short time. The sun's energy can help energise and cleanse the crystal. However, avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods.
Selenite Charging
Selenite is a self-cleansing crystal that can cleanse other crystals. Place your Watermelon Tourmaline on a piece of selenite for several hours or overnight. Selenite's purifying energy will help clear the negative energies from your tourmaline.
Salt Bath
Fill a bowl with sea salt or Himalayan salt and bury your Watermelon Tourmaline in the salt. Leave it for several hours or overnight. The salt will absorb negative energies from the crystal. Afterwards, rinse the crystal under running water to remove any salt residue.
Smudging
Pass your Watermelon Tourmaline through the smoke of cleansing herbs like sage, palo santo, or cedar. The smoke will purify and cleanse the crystal. Be sure to set a positive intention while smudging.
Sound Cleansing
Use sound vibrations from singing bowls, bells, or tuning forks to cleanse your crystal. Simply hold your Watermelon Tourmaline and sound the instrument near it, allowing the vibrations to clear away negative energies.
Visualisation
Hold the crystal in your hands and visualise bright, pure light surrounding and penetrating it. Imagine this light clearing away any impurities or negative energies.
Remember to use the cleansing method that resonates with you and feels right for your Watermelon Tourmaline. It's also a good practice to cleanse your crystals regularly, especially if you use them for healing or energy work, to keep them energetically vibrant and aligned with your intentions.
