Just like us, crystals carry energy — so it’s important to cleanse them from time to time to clear anything they may have picked up. And don’t worry, we like to keep things simple here. Let’s walk through how to cleanse your crystals using incense.
What is smoke cleansing?
Smoke cleansing is a gentle spiritual practice where the smoke from burning herbs or incense is used to clear away unwanted or heavy energy.
It helps refresh your crystals and creates space for calm, positive energy to flow in.
How to cleanse your crystals with incense
Step-by-step
1. Prepare your space
Open a window and place your incense in a safe incense holder.
2. Light the incense
Light the tip, let it burn for a moment, then gently blow it out so it releases a steady stream of smoke.
3. Set your intention
As the smoke rises, focus on what you’d like to clear or welcome in. Keep it simple and honest — that’s all you need.
Affirmation inspiration
“I cleanse my energy and welcome peace.”
“I am open to fresh, positive energy.”
“I release the old and make space for the new.”
4. Cleanse your crystal
Slowly move your crystal through the smoke, turning it so all sides are covered. Trust your intuition — you’ll know when it feels done.
5. Finish up
Place your crystal down somewhere safe and let the incense burn out naturally.
A little tip from us
If you feel your crystal is holding a lot of heavy energy, try visualising that energy lifting and dissolving as the smoke passes over it.
There are no strict rules — just follow what feels right.
We like to do this whenever the energy feels a bit off, or when we’re inviting in something new and positive.
