Using Ultra Sonic Cleaner to Clean and Clear Crystals??

[Aion]

Water OR salt, not both together. A salt-water solution could definitely deterioriate some crystals due to abrasiveness. (Obviously you don't want to use water with something like Selenite which will melt.)

You can also just leave stones in sunlight or moonlight to charge (some stones will discolour in sunlight though) or you can also bury them in the earth. Essentially all of these ways are methods to 'refresh' the energy which is in the stone and which is maybe heavily distorted by emotions and such. This is done by exposing the crystals to natural elementals and it is by the mechanism of 'displacements'. That is to say that an object with heavy distortion brought in to contact with an element of low distortion there is an 'equilization' effect that takes place whereby the distortion smooths itself over the energies.

The best example or visualization of this I have found is heat. If you have a hot object and place it in cold water, the heat spreads throughout the water until the object and the water are the same temperature. This is also how it happens with 'vibration'. An object with heavy distortion brought in to a contact with low distortion you will have the distortion 'spread' out across the objects until both equalize. This is also why you have to be careful because distortion can actually spread between objects and if you don't have an element with low distortion (pure running water, pure salt, pure earth or a balanced energy field, etc) then that distortion can actually just spread and not dissipate. This is also why people with imbalanced energy fields can be so affected by heavily distorted fields or objects, because they just take on more distortion.

Thus, to my own technique, I just use the power of Light and thought. I use Reiki as my 'cold water' which acts as the 'low distortion' field which heavy distortion can equalize in to. I will sometimes combine that with water or earth if I really need an intense cleanse.

Charging is a little different from cleansing. You can cleanse the energy of a stone without charging it. Some methods will both cleanse and charge your stone, but others will only cleanse or charge. For example the sun can both cleanse and charge the stone but the moon is only good for charging (except maybe if you want to clear a stone of major solar energy). Another example is that salt is good for cleansing but won't charge, whereas burying in the earth with both cleanse and charge. You can also charge a stone with your own energy or the energy of another person, but that doesn't necessarily cleanse it. Just like if you cleanse it doesn't mean it will be charged afterwards.

Anyways, those are my ramblin's.
