Cleaning Crystals with Intention via Smudging

There are various methods for cleaning crystals, for this batch, I decided to do a trifecta!
: I placed the stones in a bowl outside and let them collect rainwater for ~30min
: I drained the water, and mixed in some lavender (
you can also smudge with lavender)
: Smudging with Sage locally sourced from my colleagues garden
Afterwards, I cleared my mind and space to focusing on programming them with the intention of maximizing it’s inherent properties and emphases healing. While the rainwater also energized my crystals, a quick pop in the works too!
Let’s : Do you use crystals? If so, how frequently do you clean yours? which method do you utilize?
