Help a crystal newbee

[Jon_88]

im clearing half my crystals now with 1 crystal in a glass of water with 1/6 full of sundried seasalt(stirred with a bed of seasalt on the bottom) .
I also put the intention to clear them with this action ,on the crystals (well to the best of my abilitys off course).

Anyone know how long they need to stay to be cleared?
If no one knows i guess ill let them stay til tommorrow.

I've been using crystals for a while, and can tell you with confidence that a salt bath is NOT a good idea.

Why not? Well, some crystals, such as calcite, can disintegrate in water, giving it a scratched appearance. If you submerge it in RUNNING water, such as a stream, the crystals might not be there next you go check! Also, salt or sea salt can scratch the surface of crystals. Tumbled crystals are less susceptible to this, but it's still a risk.

Lastly... The crystals just don't like it. Back when I used to use that method some of the time, the crystal wouldn't become "clear"... It's odd. There was a slight negativity, never persisting but always present for a time after the bath.

In order to clear them, I suggest holding them in a manner that would be conducive to transferring energies INTO them... Imagine the energies inside the crystal, see them swirling... And simply... Releasing as white light, leaving the crystals ready to be imprinted upon.

Leaving your crystals together is actually a good idea, as they each help each other cycle out unwanted energies, as it were... I heard that somewhere, and in practice have not found it to be false. I don't know that you should carry them all together... If they're all tumbled to a smooth finish, it's probably not a bad thing, but if any are rough, they can scratch the others.

I'm currently doing research into magnetics and metaphysics, seeing if it's possible to affect magnetics from the astral or ethereal plane, but I don't think magnets would "recharge" a crystal. How about some more info on what you're using these crystals for? Are you programming them, or simply letting them do their thing?

I think it's also important to know that experimentation will very rarely turn out badly. The good part about crystals is that nothing is "written in stone" (sorry, bad pun ) as it were... You can always clear a crystal and reprogram it.

ok out of the salt bath they go , and imagine white light in them instead. Dang why do so many sites say salt bath?

ohh well , im trying to use them to enhance intuition , guess i gotta read on the programming thingy , also it would be nice if they could heal my body to =P

Where do i find info on programming ? and how do you recharge the crystals ? and do they work well without programming?

I found nothing espessially usefull in the crystal tread and searhing yeilds so many treads not related to crystal.

Just aquired me a few crystals to see if the aclaimed mombo jumbo is true =P
I suspect it might as i get very good/bad respons from my  magnets.

First how do you clear/initiate the stones , is it enough to use saltwater(must it be seasalt ?) ?  for how many hours ? can i have all in the same bath ?
Is clearing and initiation the same prosedure or is it 2 ?

i got a clear Hillcrystal(clear crystal) , a amethyst , a tigereye ,a Sodalitt , a malakitt and 2 rosequarts.

i got the basics in how the crystals work . But if you know a good combo(for anything) using thise crystals plz share .
Ohh and can i store them all togheater in a cloth or pouch ? or should they stay separate?

Anyone know if it would be possible to recharge the crystals with magnets ? if not how should it be done?

Is there anything else a newbee should know before experimenting?

I put them in just over night.

You mean he's been waiting for an answer for over 5 years and it's only over 1 night? He could have done about 1800 of them by now.
