Sometimes you may feel so overwhelmed by what you have eto d within a day that you feel stressed - physically and emotionally drained. You crave sleep, but sleep may be ellusive - and you don't feel at all rested when you get up the next morning. When you get into this state, try quietly holding the chosen crystal in your hand and begin to let yourself relax by becoming more aware of your breathing. Picture it raining outside. Gradually allow time to slow down. Feel yourself becoming more calm and centered inside. Imagine the rain stopping and the sun coming out. Imagine a beautiful rainbow appearing in the sky.
You can practice this effective visualization whenever you feel the need, for a few minutes each day or longer, if you can make more time for yourself.

Choose from any of the following crystals:-
-amazonite
-aragonite
-bloodstone
-calcite
-celestite
-chalcedony
-chrysocolla
-chrysoprase
-flourite
-green moss agate
-hematite
-herkimer diamond
-howlite
-labradorite
-peridot
-petrified wood
-Picasso marble
-quartz
-rainbow Obsidian
-rhodochrosite
-rose quartz
-staurolite
-sunstone
-topaz

The crystal should be a comfortable size in your hand - not too small, nor too large - so it fits naturally in your palm and feels good to touch.
Keep your crystal close by, either in your pocket or bag, so that you can hold them and begin to feel more calm whenever the need arises.

Sea Salt: Crystals can be placed in coarse sea salt for up to 24 hours to clear them

Sunlight or Moonlight: The rays of the sun and moon are energetically very clearing and cleansing, as well as energizing. Placing your stones outside where they can soak up the sunlight or moonlight for a day/night to a week is very beneficial. Do be careful though, as some the colors of some stones may fade in the sun. A few of the stones that will fade in the sun are amethyst, celestite, opal, and turquoise. If you have any doubts at all, be sure to use only moonlight cleansing.

Smudging: Smudging is one of my favorite methods of clearing crystals and stones of unwanted energy. It's also a much quicker way to clear crystals than any of the above methods. To smudge them, pass you stone several times through the smoke of burning cedar, sage, sweetgrass, or incense.

Flower Water: You can also clear crystals and stones in flower water. Soak the stone or crystal in water with the petals of rose, honey suckle, orange blossoms, jasmine or others for 24 hours.
