Sound

Known as giving your stones a sound bath, sound can be used to cleanse and recharge your crystals. In order to use sound to cleanse and recharge your crystal you can use a singing bowl or tuning forks to bring the crystal into the same vibration as the tone, you can even do it using a nice bell or chanting. The key to using this method is ensuring that the sound emitted is loud enough for the vibration to fully encompass the stone for approximately 5-10 minutes. It is believed that the vibrations created with sound helps to dissolve and break up any negative energy being held in the crystal, returning it to its natural frequency and restoring the harmony of the crystal. Please note that the key or frequency which you use is unimportant to the method.

Using a Singing Bowl

​

Singing bowls are designed to create long lasting, powerful vibrations and have been used in healing since ancient times (and are still used today) in sound therapy. Not only can singing bowls help to charge and cleanse your crystals but also to purity your space and raise consciousness and promote healing within yourself.

​

Make sure that you do not place the crystals inside the bowl as the high vibrations could damage them. Using the singing bowl can take a little practice so do not fear if it doesn’t go smoothly the first time around.

Method One

  1. find a flat surface or table clean and clear of clutter and spread a clean cloth on it.

  2. place your singing bowl in the middle of the cloth with your crystals placed on the cloth surrounding the bowl.

  3. Start playing your singing bow. To do this, strike the singing bowl with your mallet gently to let it produce a ringing sound.

  4. Move the mallet in a clockwise direction around the outside rim of the bowl causing it to “Sing”.

  5. Continue to circulate the mallet around the rim for 5-10 minutes or until you sense the cleansing process is complete.

Method Two

An alternative method which may be more useful for cleansing a larger collection of crystals

 

  1. Place your crystals on a flat surface and stand beside them

  2. Put the singing bowl in your non-dominant hand and take the mallet in your other hand.

  3. Strike the bowl to emit a singing sound

  4. Move the mallet in a clockwise direction around the outside rim of the bowl causing it to “Sing”.

  5. Continue to circulate the mallet around the rim for 5-10 minutes or until you sense the cleansing process is complete.

Using a Tuning Fork

Similarly to the singing bowl tuning forks can also be used to help clear your space and even yourself. It does not matter what frequency of tuning fork you use. 

 

  1. Hold the crystal in one hand and the tuning fork in the other

  2. Active your tuning fork - to do this hold it as close as possible to the end of the hand and gently strike it against a hard surface to set it ringing

  3. Move the fork around the crystal you are cleaning in an anti-clockwise direction for approximately 3 rounds - if it stops ringing you will need to reactivate it

  4. Repeat up to 3 times 

  5. You can also meditate on the sound and intention while doing this
