Tools for Aura Cleansing

Cleansing is one of the most important topics when it comes to the metaphysical world. This is because throughout our day we come across all sorts of energies. They latch onto us like a moth to a flame, which is why it’s extremely important to cleanse ourselves on a relatively consistent basis.

While there are many different means of cleansing the self, one way is by using crystals. One of the most used crystals when it comes to cleansing is Selenite. This crystal is good at cleansing the aura and the things around it. This could be plants, people, or other crystals. Despite all of the stone's positive qualities, it does have its flaws. The major one being that it is a super soft stone so it can scratch and break easily. It's also one of the stones that is sensitive to water and if it were to come into contact with it enough, would eventually dissolve. Now this next part can vary depending on the person, but because it is such an active stone it can cause issues while meditating, some people may find it too energizing. That being said, some people can meditate with Selenite just fine. Selenite can be used in meditations when one is trying to clear their crown chakra, because it helps to clear the mind. This is a stone that has many different shapes and sizes, it can be a wand, a tower, a sphere, a plate, a tumble, a palm stone, or in its natural cluster formation. To cleanse Selenite you could use sound vibrations, sage, or moonlight. Luckily it shouldn’t need to be cleansed a ton because it is mostly self cleansing, but it wouldn’t hurt every once in a while.

There is also another crystal that works wonders for cleansing, Clear Quartz. The special thing about this stone is in order for it to work at its fullest potential it needs to be programmed. This is because it works as an energy amplifier so the cleanser has to put some of their own energy and purpose into it. One way to program Clear Quartz is to look deep into the crystal and use your hands to feel it and become familiar with it. To program it to cleanse your aura, you can close your eyes and imagine it growing and surrounding you. For some it will take more time than others, but you will feel when it is programmed. Clear Quartz is a much more durable crystal than Selenite, and it can be cleansed with water, sound vibrations, and also moonlight. Clear Quartz is also a crystal that is found in many different shapes and sizes like towers, spheres, geodes, tumbles, on wands, and clusters.

There are all sorts of methods that one can use to cleanse their aura. You can take a Selenite wand or a piece of Clear Quartz and start from the head and move downwards. By making sweeping motions to remove the energy, you are essentially treating the crystals as a negativity brush and with every stroke it removes the negative energy from your being. One should continue to do this until they feel a change and as if a weight has been lifted off of their shoulders.

You can also try meditation to remove negativity. You can do this by laying down and placing your Selenite or Clear Quartz in the Chakra areas or anywhere you feel needs to be cleansed. Breathe deeply and bathe in the positive energy.

This last example is more directed towards cleansing your space, but as usual they can be used for anything! You can do this by making a crystal grid. For the base of your grid you could use wood, cloth, or a printed grid layout from online. You will then place one main crystal in the center and surround it with a bunch of other, usually smaller crystals. As you are placing the crystals imagine that you are connecting them with energy as you go. To activate the grid you must focus your energy onto it and give it an intention, in this case it would be to cleanse.

Of course crystals aren’t the only way to cleanse your aura. You can use herbs by burning them to cleanse your aura and space. Some common herbs used for this are cedar, palo santo, and sage.

Another relaxing way to cleanse the aura is by bathing in epsom salts. While you are submerged in the warm water, imagine the water absorbing all of the negativity. Once you feel as if all the negativity has left your aura you can proceed to drain the water and resume your day.

Sound vibrations can also be an excellent way to expel the negative energy. You can achieve this by using tuning forks, chimes, and singing bowls. If you don’t have any of these materials, a convenient way to gain similar results would be to go onto an online platform like Youtube and search for sound therapy videos.

For the next method of aura cleansing, Reiki, it is ideal to go see a professional Reiki Practitioner. This is where the practitioner will use their hands to bring healing energy to the body.

Something that we mentioned earlier in the article was about utilizing crystals and visualizing their healing energy. While still a great way of cleansing, you don’t necessarily need anything in order to cleanse effectively. All you have to do is imagine a powerful white light enveloping you and expelling any negativity attached to your aura.

There are so many incredible ways of cleansing an aura, so it is up to you as the healer to find what fits your needs the best!
