Cleaning methods

Stones are naturally both emitters and receivers. So when you touch them, an exchange takes place on both the physical and vibrational levels. The stone thus absorbs your energies. Cleansing your stone regularly allows it to accompany you throughout your life.

Once the stone is saturated with your energy, it no longer emits its own energy as strongly. That is why it is important to cleanse your stones after each use.

Stones are naturally both emitters and receivers. So when you touch them, an exchange takes place on both the physical and vibrational levels. The stone thus absorbs your energies.

Cleaning your stone regularly ensures it will be with you for a lifetime. When a stone becomes saturated with your energy, it no longer emits its own energy as powerfully. That’s why it’s important to clean your stones after each use.

There are two basic cleaning methods, depending on the type of stone: cleaning by immersing it in water and cleaning by burning incense.

CLEANING BY IMMERSION IN WATER

Most stones love water. When immersed, they release the energy they have stored through contact with you. 

So, after each use of your stone, you can fill a container of your choice with water. Then, rinse your stone under running water for a few seconds before placing it in the container.

Laissez la pierre tremper ainsi entre 4 heures et 24h selon votre organisation. À la fin du trempage, vous pouvez retirer la pierre du contenant, la rincer à nouveau sous l’eau courante et l’essuyer avec une serviette propre. Votre pierre est maintenant régénérée grâce à l’action de purification par l’eau.

Your stone is now ready to be used whenever you're ready.

CLEANSING WITH INCENSE

Some stones deteriorate when exposed to water. In such cases, they are cleansed by fumigation using resins or natural incense sticks. Benzoin and olibanum are the most effective.

To do this, place a few grains of benzoin or frankincense resin on a glowing charcoal, or light a stick of natural incense. With either method, you can hold your stone in the smoke for a few moments.

Your stone is now ready for its next use, whenever you need it.

CLEANING FREQUENCY

How often you need to clean it depends on the weight of your stone: the heavier it is, the more powerful it is, and therefore the less often it needs to be cleaned.

  • For stones weighing less than 150 grams: they must be cleaned after every use, even if it lasts only a few minutes.
  • For stones weighing between 150 and 250 grams: they should be cleaned after each period of contact lasting more than 30 minutes.
  • For stones weighing between 250 and 500 grams: they should be cleaned after each extended use.
  • For stones weighing between 500 grams and 1.5 kg: cleaning should be done once every two extended uses.
  • For stones weighing between 1.5 kg and 3 kg: cleaning should be done once every three extended uses.
  • For stones weighing between 3 kg and 6 kg: cleaning should be done once every five extended uses.
  • For stones weighing more than 6 kg: no cleaning is necessary, unless otherwise recommended by your expert advisor. However, you may choose to purify the stone by smudging it with incense, if you feel it is appropriate.
