Cleansing

I rise from my day rest with visions from my latest astral visitation. My guardian has visited during my down time and offered me instructions on what must be done. Following her advice, I leave my bed to gather the tools I'll need.

• Sage
• Abalone shell 
• Eagle's Feather
• Crystals
• Pendulum
• Singing bowl
• Water 

I relocate to the kitchen where I go about pouring the water into my crystal singing bowl. I must charge the crystals to allow them to do their task. I first dip in my wrist crystal and use the felt mallet to rub around the rim of the bowl. I allow the vibrations created by the bowl to amplify the crystal's energy and channel it into my bracelet. Feeling the vibrations increase, I slow the mallet and remove my crystal from the bowl.

As I place it on my wrist I feel the power move through me in waves. Ripples begin in my vision and I know that my guardian has arrived. Taking an unnecessary breath, I gather the other crystals, four large tourmaline crystal clusters, and place them into the bowl. I repeat the process again, charging the crystals until they hum loudly with the energy directed into them.

•  Black tourmaline, also known as schorl, is associated with the root or base chakra, and is excellent for grouding excess energy. It is a well known as a purifying stone that deflects and transforms negative energy, and thus is very protective. It can transform and remove negativity from an individual or an environment. It is often used as an aura cleanser, and can help one attain higher levels of awareness. Emotionally, black tourmaline is excellent for dispelling fears, obsessions, and neuroses, bringing emotional stability.

I remove the crystals from the bowl and set them aside to dry. With the first part complete I reach for the sage. Placing it in my small abalone shell, I say a prayer over it to call upon Archangel Michael for protection. I finish my prayer, and thank Michael for his assistance in this cleansing.

I move onto the next phase in the cleansing. Placing the crystals in a small pouch, I sling the handle across my chest, and grab the shell with the sage stick. I pause for a second to light the sage and begin the process of fanning the feather over it to move the smoke around the house. While I am walking around I chant and pray to help lift the negativity in our home. As I reach a corner of the house I place a crystal in it and ask it to protect us from negative energies aimed at us before moving on. I wander through the house, still waving the feather, spreading the smoke, and placing the crystals in the four corners. As I do this I begin to feel like the air is lifting. The environment seems lighter, almost breathable again. I sigh in relief and place the last crystal down.

I stub out the sage and return to the center of the house. Removing the pouch, I fall into my meditative posture and ground the energy back into the earth. I thank my guardian and Archangel Michael then begin to close down the cleansing. As I pull back my energy into me and hope that I've succeeded in lifting some of the negativity that is surrounding us.
