Saltwater is a powerful cleansing method because it combines the energy of water and earth (salt). To avoid water damage and absorb pure earth energy, place your stones in a bowl full of coarse salt. If possible, place your bowl outdoors for 24 hours.

If you don’t have actual sage, use palo santo, a sage stick, a candle, or incense as a substitute. Perform this ritual outdoors, or near an open window if you have to do it inside.
