hahaha aaahh DoeZ!!!
Okay back up a second.
Stop.
Breathe in breath out! heehee
Now lets look at all this...
First: Reread what everyone has mentioned to you.
Breathe and absorb it all.
Okay first of all - rose quartz does not need to be cleansed.
You are doing this only because you feel like it.
There are MANY ways of cleaning a crystal or anything for that matter.
All the different options are all extras. They are bells and whistles.
You do not need them.
The only thing you need is Intention.
Thats It!
Thats ALL you need! The power of the thought is HUGE and vast!!
Reiki is just another one of the options. You also need to be attuned to be able to do reiki.
Some are naturals but for simplistic reasons lets keep it simple.
With the sea salt:
http://www.crystaltiger.com/sa02005.html
"Do what you feel comfortable with and what makes sense to you. Experiment and see what works for you."
"You don't really need to soak your crystals very long in salt water. A minimum of 7 hours is usually all that is needed"
"If very 'toxic' I will soak the crystals is heavily saturated salt water for 3-4 days"
I do not agree with them about the transfer from the water.

They have some nice extras - i like the freezer one.
http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/clear ... tones.html
"Crystals can be placed in coarse sea salt for up to 24 hours to clear them."
"You can also simply ask the crystal to clear itself."
"Trust your intuition and higher self to lead you to the best methods and lengths of time for you and the stone."
http://reviews.ebay.com.au/How-to-Clean ... 0001245548
"Placing your crystals in dry sea salt will negate the crystals of all energies. It is a powerful way of cleansing your crystals. Place some dry fine sea salt into a glass or crystal bowl and cover your crystals completely, taking care not to have them touching each other. "
http://healing.about.com/od/crystalther ... stones.htm
"To use dry salt, place the sea salt in a glass or non-plastic container and bury the crystals with the points facing downward into the salt. Again, leave overnight. Sometimes a stone may take longer to clear, especially if it has been used in a deep, intense healing. If this is the case, leave another day or two in the sea salt."
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art34870.asp
"It has absorbent properties both physically and on an energy level."
"Place crystals in a bowl of sea salt. Use your intuition or dowsing to guide you to the length of time to leave them. Be aware though that salt can damage some crystals."
"Fortunately you can use the power of intention to cleanse crystals. Hold the crystal in your palms and visualise it being cleansed by a stream of white light."
http://www.moongoddessjewelry.com/Clean ... stals.html
"he crystal should remain in the salt for at least several hours. You can let them remain in the salt overnight or for several days. You should then thoroughly rinse your crystal under cool running water to remove the remaining salt. Be sure to discard the remaining salt as it should never be reused. "
"Visualization or "thought energy" is another safe way to cleanse your crystals. Hold the crystal, focus on it, and visualize a bright white light surrounding the crystal. Now visualize a beam of white light coming down through the crystal, passing all the way through and exiting from the bottom of the stone carrying with it all the unwanted energies from the crystal. Continue transmitting your thought energy to the crystal until you feel comfortable that the white light has done its job."
http://www.crystalgems.co.uk/cleansing.html
"Either bury them into the dry salt or leave them on the surface. They should be left in the salt for several hours, overnight or for several days. Your crystals should then be rinsed thoroughly under cool running water to remove any remaining salt. After use, the salt must be thrown away and never re-used because it will have absorbed negative and unwanted energies."
"You can also use visualisation or 'thought energy' to cleanse crystals."
http://www.enchantedcrystals.com/cleansingcrystals.html
"Dry sea salt is wonderful for removing negative energies, and since it is itself a crystal, it resonates well with crystal items. Simply fill a bowl with sea salt and bury your crystal in it for 24 hours. After 24 hours, remove your crystal and wipe clean. Disgard the salt, as it now carries the imbalanced energies."
"Our intention is to purify the crystal to remove any energies or imbalances it may have picked up in handling by others on its way to you. Of course, crystals will also rebalance and cleanse themselves over time if left unused and not handled."
You see!
If you go to all those sites - They all say use your intuition and Intention.
Just ask!
And with regards to the sea salt- they all had different ways of doing it and it all worked for THEM.
So find what works for you. Whatever you chose to do will be correct for YOU.
And only 3 of the sites said anything about throwing away the salt.
So do what you feel is right! You can even cleanse the salt with your intention if you are worried about it.
I hope this helps for now.
Let us know how it goes!
P.S) keep in mind what they all say about salt sometimes damaging your crystal- make sure you rinse it.
Hello everyone...I am new here and in need of help. I'm hoping I'm on the right board. A very long time ago...could be more than 10 yrs...I went to a pyschic gathering...I had a reading and I also purchased a Rose Quartz cut & polished point pendant. I put it away for sometime but recently in the past few years I have been having a very tough time. I feel as though I have lost myself somewhere and I have been in a depression since. Well I pulled my crystal pendant out and have been reading alot and so glad I found this board...but I reall am confused on how to cleanse my crystal and also charge my crystal. I am so desperately wanting to wear this with my cross and gold nugget as well in hopes of finding myself. Can anyone help me here or direct me in the right direction please. Thank You so very much. 
I'm so very sorry if I seem to be repeating myself here...but I'm getting different feed back from others on how to cleanse my crystal and that I don't need to because its a rose quartz which is Love...but...I recently got very ill...some major flu like bug hit me hard...I mean hard...chest was full...nose was full...it was horrible...in the midst of all this I took my necklace off...which consists of my cross~gold nugget (from father)~rose crytsal...I was just afraid I was gonna harm it or something because I was really sick. But anyways...I need to cleanse it again to make sure no virus got on it sotospeak...what I'm confused about is that I've been told I don't have to cleanse it...or...just use plain water...when I purchased it I was told to cleanse it in "Sea Salt" of which I have...but I did not have to mix it with a water...then I was told to cleanse my other items on my chain as well as my chain. I really need to figure out whats the right way...make sure it works for me(charged) and because it is a Rose Quartz and others have said I don't need to cleanse it...what am I to do...lol I am so sorry to be repeating myself and wish that someone was closer to me and could help me I just don't know where to turn. Thank You for any help.
