Selenite chakra wand

1. Place it Under Your Pillow

Hoping to connect with your spirit guides or ancestors? Selenite, which opens the crown chakra, can help to encourage dream messages, in which benevolent spirits speak to you while you’re asleep. Simply place a selenite wand under your pillow, setting an intention to receive guidance from the spirit world before you go to sleep.

2. Carry it in Your Pocket/Bag/Purse

If you’re an empath or highly sensitive person, and you easily pick up others’ emotions as you go about your day, a selenite crystal can help.

Selenite is one of the most powerful energetic clearing and protecting crystals you can get your hands on; thus, keeping one with you as you go about your day can keep your energy feeling light, unburdened, and grounded.

To use selenite for this purpose, keep one in your pocket, bag, or purse wherever you go. Remember to take it out of your pocket before washing your clothes! In addition, when keeping selenite in a bag, treat the crystal with reverence by keeping it in a separate compartment or in a small drawstring pouch.

3. Use it For Cleansing Other Crystals

Selenite, similar to clear quartz, is a cleansing crystal; this means that you can use it to energetically purify other crystals, in the same way you’d use sage or sea salt baths.

To cleanse your crystals with selenite, first, get a piece of selenite which is larger than the crystal you want to cleanse. Simply place the crystal that needs cleansing on top of the selenite and leave it there for a few hours– I usually let my crystals rest overnight.

(Tip: don’t do this outside, as the selenite may get wet. 

4. Use it For Cleansing Yourself

There are two methods for cleansing yourself with a selenite wand. The first method: purifying each chakra, one at a time, or simply cleansing the chakra(s) which need a tune-up.

To cleanse your chakras, first, grab your selenite wand and move to a quiet, comfortable space (if possible). Then, simply hold the selenite wand over the chakra which needs purifying. Move the wand to the next chakra when you feel open, refreshed, and/or easeful in the chakra which you’re currently cleansing.

The second method is a quick, full-body cleanse using your selenite wand. To do this, hold the selenite wand over the top of your head, and move the wand towards your heart in broad strokes. Then, once your upper body begins to feel open and refreshed, begin moving the wand in broad strokes from your heart towards your feet.

5. Use it For Purifying and Protecting Your Space

You can place selenite crystals in your home, too, in order to keep your space energetically clean and free of negative energy and spirits. Keeping a selenite stick in every windowsill of your home prevents earthbound spirits (departed souls who haven’t yet ascended to the spirit world) out of your space. This practice also expels negative energy that you or other people may carry into your house.

Tips for Taking Care of Your Selenite Wand

1. Selenite Never Needs Cleansing

Selenite is a self-cleansing crystal. No matter how hard it works for you, you’ll never need to smudge your selenite with sage or use any other kind of cleansing method.
