Why does this piece feel “heavy”?

Because each Sanctuary’s Blessings piece is already imbued with protective and grounding aspects, they will gather “negative/unwanted” energies, in tandem with whatever personal method you may already be using to help keep said energies from entering your energetic space.

That said, at times, a cleansing is required. How will you know when it’s time? You can trust your own intuition and “just know” that the piece feels “full”, or at times, you may actually physically feel that it’s heavier.

While there are many methods and techniques available for cleansing any residual, “not so nice” or “negative/unwanted” energies, water being one, I highly recommend NOT using water for cleansing your creations from Sanctuary’s Blessings.

I prefer to use smoke from incense, allowing it to penetrate every space of the piece. If you have any Selenite crystal available, setting the piece on or near, is absolutely perfect. Setting the piece in moonlight will also do the trick, and does not have to be in direct moonlight. The act of you intentionally wanting it to be cleansed by moonlight, will make it so. Some also utilize the sun’s brilliant rays to cleanse items, however, the power of the sun, may affect the colors of some crystals, possibly fading, so personally, I do not recommend this method, for my creations.

The cleansing process will only rid the piece of any “negative/unwanted” energies, NOT any of its “in-born” energies, so have no fear, cleansing Sanctuary’s Blessings creations WILL NOT “erase” their “programming”!! Original intent is kept intact.
