Cleansing Crystals Under the Full Moon So many of my clients ask about how to cleanse their crystals under the full moon. It is a powerful spiritual practice that aligns your crystals with the lunar energy, purifying and recharging them. The full moon's energy is believed to be at its peak, making it an ideal time to cleanse and rejuvenate your crystals - however most of you know I prefer to use the sun for cleansing. If you love to work with Full Moon energies, here are five different ways to cleanse your crystals. 1. Moonlight Bath The most straightforward method is to leave your crystals out under the full moonlight. The moon's energy will naturally cleanse and recharge them. Simply place your crystals on a windowsill, balcony, or directly on the ground where the moonlight can reach them. Leave them overnight and collect them in the morning. Remember the full moon's energies can be experienced during its shadow period, a couple of days prior and a couple of days after the full moon. 2. Water Purification Water is a powerful cleansing element. You can use natural water sources like a river, stream, or even rainwater to cleanse your crystals. If these aren't accessible, a bowl of purified water with a pinch of sea salt will work. Some crystals don't like water or salt water, so ensure your crystals are water-safe before using this method, as some can be damaged by water. Once you know they are safe, immerse the crystals in water and leave them under the moonlight overnight (or during the shadow period). Ensure your crystals are water-safe before using this method, as some can be damaged by water. 3. Earth Burial Our crystals came from the Earth, so burying your crystals in the earth allows them to reconnect with the grounding energy of which they were created. Find a safe spot in your garden or a pot of soil, bury the crystals, and leave them for the night or a couple of days if you are able to do so. The Earth's natural vibrations will cleanse and recharge them. |

4. Sound Healing Sound vibrations can cleanse crystals by breaking up any negative energy trapped within them. Use a crystal or Tibetan singing bowl, tuning fork, or even chanting to create sound vibrations. You may play Koshi chimes or tingsha bells. Hold the crystals near the sound source or place them inside a singing bowl and gently play it, allowing the sound waves to cleanse them. 5. Smudging Smudging with sacred herbs like sage, palo santo, lavender or cedar is an ancient cleansing method. Crumble some of your chosen herbs into a fire-proof bowl. Light the herbs and gently blow into the bowl to ignite the herbs. Use your hand or a feather to direct the smoke over the crystals. If you have a lot of crystals, place them into a wicker basket with space between the wicker to allow the smoke to billow through the basket and around the crystals. Allow the smoke to envelop your crystals, purifying them. This method is excellent for removing any negative energy and enhancing the crystals' natural vibrations. |

Heart opening yoga poses, often referred to as chest openers, are a wonderful way to enhance both physical flexibility and emotional well-being. These poses are designed to open up the chest, ribcage, and upper back, creating a sense of expansiveness and freedom. They encourage a deeper connection to the heart centre, promoting feelings of love, compassion, and joy. |

Camel Pose (Ustrasana) HOW TO To perform Camel Pose, kneel on your mat with knees hip-width apart. Place your hands on your lower back for support. As you inhale, lift your chest and gently arch your back. Reach for your heels with your hands if possible or keep them on your lower back. Push your hips forward and continue lifting through your chest, allowing your head to drop back if comfortable, opening your chest. Hold for 5-10 breaths, then slowly return to a kneeling position. Follow with Child's Pose (Balasana) to neutralise your spine. Move slowly and mindfully, using props if needed. BENEFITS Heart Opening Expands the chest and shoulders, promoting a sense of emotional openness and enhancing feelings of compassion and joy.

For Cow Pose, inhale as you drop your belly towards the mat, lift and open your chest, and arch your back, gazing slightly upward. Draw your shoulder blades together and move your tailbone up. Transition to Cat Pose by exhaling and rounding your spine towards the ceiling, tucking your chin to your chest and drawing your belly button in. Continue to flow smoothly between these two positions with each breath.
