You may find that after you have worked with a crystal for a while the energies seem
“weaker” or different somehow. This is often an indication that the crystal needs to be
cleansed and/ or charged.
Below are some ways to go about caring for your crystals.
Working with cleansed crystals is very important. You want to make sure that you are working with the crystal's highest energy and not any additional energies that have attached itself to the stone.
These energies may not be for your highest good. There are many ways in which you can cleanse your Crystals
Here's a few tips...
You can hold the stones in a flowing river or under the tap. Ask and envision the water washing away any stagnant or unwanted energies from the crystals.
Note: Some crystals will dissolve in water so you will want to verify this prior to using
this method. You will want to be very careful not to let go of any crystals as they could be lost to you.
You can use a flower essence spray designed to cleanse energetic debris. Note: Some crystals will dissolve in water so spraying them with a water based mixture can result in discoloration and roughness
You can place them in a bed (bowl) of salt for 12 hours or more
You can bury the crystals in the ground for two weeks. Note: put the crystals in a terra-cotta pot with lid first and make sure to clearly mark where you buried it.
Crystals are known for moving around in the Earth.
You can smudge the crystals using a sage stick Envisioning the smoke clearing away any stagnant or unwanted energies from the crystals.
Sometimes crystals need a boost just like we do. There are many ways to do this but here are a few popular ways.
Set them in direct sunlight and/or moonlight for a few hours to a day.
Note: some crystals will fade in direct sunlight, like quartz, so indirect light would be suggested.
Placing them on the Earth for a few hours to a day. This allows the crystal to recharge and realign its energies directly from Mother Earth.
Place the crystals on a charging plate, like a selenite slab or amethyst cluster.
All of these methods of clearing and charging work well, however as with
working with crystals it is the intention that counts. Keep the intention of
clearing and/or charging the stones energy in your mind throughout the
cleansing. An example of an intention would be...
"I bless this stone with pure love and light. Let the (sun/ smoke/ water/ etc...)
clear away any unwanted energy so that it may vibrate at it's purest, highest
frequency so that it may work in harmony with me to ..."
Note: This is not a complete list of methods used to clear or charge crystals
but a brief description of some popular methods.
