Clearing A Crystal With Your Breath
Hold the crystal in your dominant hand, or if you bought a really large crystale, in both of your hands. Focus your intention on freeing the crystal it of all negative influences, attachments and energy. As you hold this intention in your thoughts, inhale forcefully through your nose and exhale forcefully on the stone.
The idea is that your breath cleanses the rock and makes it your own. This is an Eastern as well as Nordic tradition for clearing objects. It will only work if you do feel truly connected to the divine as you are doing it. If you are in a bad mood, save this technique for another day.
