Cleanse.
walk through a dense wooded area with as little clothing as possible. if you need to wear clothes this is fine too. as the plants and twigs brush across your skin know that they are pulling any negative energy that has taken root inside of your energetic field. walk until you feel that the work has been finished. to enhance this practice you can incorporate the following breathing with the trees exercise.
Breathe.
Find a wooded area to take a walk - this could be a park or the actual forest - anywhere with trees will do. Take a moment to tap into your breath. As you breathe in, feel the trees exhale. As you exhale, feel the trees inhale. continue this experience as you walk. This is the silent and sacred dance between nature and ourselves. When you are finished with your walk, place your hands upon a tree and leave your gratitude as thanks.
Bury.
So - you have done some serious work with that crystal of yours and feel called to cleanse it...but there is still 2 weeks until the full moon, you are allergic to smoke and this particular crystal does not like water. What ever will you do?! Well witches - dirt is your friend! Take that little rock ally of yours, dig a hole, and bury it. If for some reason you are unable to bury it outside, you can just as effectively fill a bowl with dirt and bury it in there. Hold your hand above the place where it is buried and ask if it is ready. When it is ready you will feel a slight buzz of energy tickle your hand. A pendulum is an awesome tool to use if you are not sensitive to the subtle vibrations of stones.
