Let's cover the practice of cleansing first, because ideally, it is done first.
Let's say you've come across or purchased an object such as a crystal or a new tarot deck, or even your gifted jewelry.
regardless of what the object is.
On a metaphysical level, that object is bringing unknown energy with it that it's picked up along the way.
Take a crystal, for example.
What was the environment of the store it came from? Was some random person in a really bad mood when they packed it into a box and shipped it to you? Had it sat neglected on a shelf collecting dust next to a space used for anger management classes.
And this crystal is supposed to help you sleep? Cleansing unhooks items from their past vibrations.
It's a nice little psychic reset for when you're working with something on a spiritual level.
Happily, there are plenty of simple cleansing methods to remove counterproductive energies and spicy misplaced vibes.
You can burn a cleansing incense such as benazin or sandalwood and run the object that you're wishing to cleanse through its smoke.
You can also bury the object you wish to cleanse in the earth for a while.
Our earth is a wonderful resource that loves to absorb and reset energy.
Just don't forget where you buried your object.
You can also hold the object under running water, visualize the energy being literally cleansed off of it.
If possible, you can wave an object over a candle flame for cleansing, or even, if possible, placing it inside a fire.
Obviously, use caution and only do this with an object that it makes sense to do so with.
Which is a point worth making again.
Choose a cleansing method that works with the object you're cleansing.
Don't put metal in a saltwater soak.
Don't throw your new tarot deck into a swift river current or bonfire.
That sort of thing.
As long as it isn't destructive to the object you're cleansing, feel free to pick the method that works for you.
Think of working with an element, earth, air, fire, water.
