A handy kitchen staple, rice can also be used to cleanse your crystal. Rice is said to be a good balancing material as it is associated with the energies of both the earth and the sun, meaning that is has both feminine and masculine energies (or yin and yang). It is good for balancing your crystal and returning it to its natural state. As the majority of us know rice is very absorbent, I am sure more than a few of us have found themselves burying their water-logged phones in rice and hoping for the best. Just as it absorbed the water from your phone so too does it absorb not only the negative energies from your crystal but any excess energies which may be throwing your crystal out of balance.   

 

There are two methods you can use to cleanse your crystal with rice:

 

1 – put it on a bed of rice

 

Not just used in the culinary field a bed of rice is the most common way used to cleanse crystals with rice. Simply fill a bowl with rice and place your crystal on top. 

 

            2 – bury it in rice.                       

 

Following the same initial steps as the first method fill a bowl deep enough to cover your crystals with rice. Once the bowl is full bury your crystals in the rice ensuring that they are fully submerged.  

 

For both rice methods leave your crystals charging for around 8-12 hours or overnight. You can even pop the bowl in the moonlight for a double whammy.
