Smoke cleansing can be used to help cleanse not only your crystals but also your home or a given space. It is important to note that this is not smudging and should not be done using white sage as both are closed practices. Smoke cleansing can be done with any dried herb without appropriating indigenous or Native American culture – as such we do not sell white sage in our cleansing bundles. You can even use steam in place of smoke (handy for those who struggle with respiratory issues) by placing loose herbs in boiling water. Popular herbs used which are easily accessible include cedar, rosemary, bay and other varieties of sage such as garden sage. You can even mis and match herbs to create your own personal blend or incense bundle (remember these are not smudging sticks). 

 

In order to use smoke cleansing to clear/charge your crystal light your incense bundle and put it in a safe, non-flammable burner (if you don’t have a burner you could use a bowl or plate). Hold the crystal in the smoke of the bundle and allow it to immerse the crystal for a moment, after this you can then place your crystal next to the burning incense and leave it there till the smoke stops. This is often used in conjunction with meditation/visualisation.
