How to Cleanse Stone and Pendulum Energies
Regularly cleansing the energy of your pendulum, divination, and/or healing stone will make them more responsive and help bring out their full potential.
Did you ever try to use a pendulum but it became sluggish? Maybe it needs some energy cleansing.
Many pendulums can be made with natural gemstones, crystals, or stones. They absorb any energy and can keep it on for a long period of time. Your pendulum will produce the best results if it only has your energy. It is a good idea for you to cleanse it before each use, and then as often as necessary thereafter.
Natural stones and crystals accumulate and store energy over time. The energy stored in your pendulum can be very beneficial in most cases. However, if you have negative energy or an old energy buildup, it can affect its effectiveness. You should cleanse your pendulums and all your crystals and healing stones regularly.
There are many ways to cleanse stone energies. However, I have limited my recommendations to those safe for all stones as well as safe for sterling silver. You’re likely to have come across energy cleansing methods that involve liquids or sea salts. These methods are effective in cleansing energies but can cause damage to certain types of natural stone and corrode sterling. (See note at bottom of page). These risks are not present in other reliable, simple, and effective methods.
There are nine ways to purify the energy from your pendulum
1. Gentle Energy Cleansing Kit
Energy cleansing made simple – This system from AYP uses natural energy cleansing methods – Citrine and written intention.
2. Smudging
You can light a smudge stick (it can be dried white Sage and/or other herbs or cedar) or your favorite incense. Light the flame, then slowly pass the crystal or pendulum through the fragrant smoke – at most four times.
3. Cleansing crystals
Citrine can be used to cleanse other stones. Leave the crystal or pendulum in a container or pouch containing Citrine for 24 hours. Carnelian, Amethyst, and Selenite can be used to clean other stones. Place the pendulum or other object that you wish to cleanse in a pouch/container with cleansed Carnelian or Amethyst, or Selenite, and let it sit for 24 hours.
4. Crystal Cluster “Baskets”
Placing crystals or pendulums on a crystal cluster or “basket” that has been cleaned is a good idea. It should be left there for several hours.
5. Brown Rice
A small bowl or can of dry brown rice should be filled. Long grain is better than a round grain. Place your stone or pendulum under the water. Allow resting for 24 hours. After cleansing, take out the rice.
6. Sunlight
For up to four hours, place the crystal or pendulum in direct sunlight. Morning or late sun works best. Avoid noonday if it’s too bright or hot. Some crystals will fade quickly when exposed to direct sunlight. This method will cause amethyst and fluorite to lose their colors.
7. Moonlight
Moonlight, unlike sunlight, is safe for all stone types. Let the crystal or pendulum rest on a windowsill at night during a full moon.
8. Ho’oponopono
This is my favorite because it’s a tribute to Hawaii and the healing, soothing energy that I have experienced there. Here’s how to bring the healing and cleansing energy of Hawaii home wherever you may be.
“Ho’oponopono,” an ancient Hawaiian healing art, literally means “make it right”. It can be used to restore balance, cleanse the body and give you a sense of calm and relaxation. It is traditionally used to restore relationships and build family harmony. However, Ho’oponopono written or spoken can be used for any type of healing or cleansing. Also, it is great for blessing crystals and pendulums.
How to do Ho’oponopono. Hold your crystal or pendulum in your hands and close your eyes. Say the following sentences: “I love you.” I am sorry. I beg your forgiveness. We are grateful. Keep repeating these words until you feel an energy shift.
9. Imagine a Cleansing Light
Place your crystal or pendulum in your hands, or on a table. Visualize a beautiful, cleansing, healing, golden light surrounding your stone, and wash it through, making it new and clean.
Cleanse your body and then recharge with positive energy.
You need to “recharge,” your crystal or pendulum after it has been cleaned. The stones will receive positive energy and benefits from being recharged. You can recharge your stones with therapeutic sound, light, and blessings, or even your own personal touch. Reiki can be used to recharge crystals and pendulums by using Reiki energy or symbols. This will make them responsive and nimble.
