Cleansing & Charging
Your Crystals
Cleansing and Charging are both important parts of using and caring for your crystals and stones.
Be sure to cleanse any crystal that is new to you.
Cleansing:
It is important to always set your intention on releasing unwanted energies before you begin the process that feels right and works best for you. There are several methods you can choose from when cleaning both physical and energetic debris from your crystals/stones. -Built up dust can be removed from the surface and crevices using a soft brush (toothbrush, pipe cleaners, paintbrushes) -Hold your crystals/stones under running water and dry with a clean cloth.* *Caution: Some crystals/stones are water-soluble and should NOT get wet. -Place them out in the light of the full moon. -Smudge them with the smoke from Frankincense, Sandalwood, and/or Sage. -Cover the bottom of a bowl or tray with Sea Salt and place crystals/stones on the salt for 24 hours -Focus your breath over your crystal and blow steadily while you visualize white or violet light cleansing your crystal. Charging:
Once your crystals/stones have been cleansed, you can begin empowering them. So, in addition to the innate healing properties of the stones themselves, you can also infuse the crystal(s) with your own personal intention. Some examples are: Abundance, Healing, Love, Protection, Strength, etc. The more you interact with and use your crystals, the more responsive and beneficial they will become. Find a quiet space, free from distractions, where you can focus for a few minutes. Once you are in that space, you may then choose the empowerment process(es) that feel right and work best for you. -Hold the crystal in your dominant hand while speaking your intention either in your mind or aloud -Use your mind's/3rd eye to visualize your desired outcome as though it is already a reality -Energize your crystals/stones in the sunlight* -Wear or carry the stone with you to enjoy its benefits throughout the day ~Always complete the cleansing/charging process by extending gratitude and thanking the crystal for its support *Caution: Some Stones are sensitive to direct heat/light.
Prolonged exposure could result in discoloration, brittleness, etc. |
