How to Cleanse and Charge Your Crystals
Share
Crystals are not only beautiful — they’re energetic tools that hold vibrations, intentions, and even the energy of those who handle them. To keep your crystals aligned and working at their highest frequency, regular cleansing and charging is essential. Here’s how to do it the mystical way.
🌑 Why Cleanse Your Crystals?
Over time, crystals can absorb heavy or stagnant energy from their environment or the people around them. Cleansing helps reset their energy and clears any residual negativity.
🕯️ How to Cleanse Your Crystals
Choose a method that feels aligned with your vibe:
-
Moonlight: Lay your crystals under the full moon overnight. A window sill works if you can’t leave them outdoors.
-
Incense or Smoke: Use sage, palo santo, or incense to gently wave smoke around the crystal.
-
Sound: Use a singing bowl, chime, or even clapping to clear energy through vibration.
-
Selenite: Place your crystals on or near a selenite charging plate — it naturally clears energy.
☀️ How to Charge Your Crystals
Charging fills your crystals with fresh energy:
-
Sunlight: Leave crystals in morning sunlight for 1–2 hours (avoid this for delicate stones like amethyst).
-
Moonlight: Moonlight also charges as well as cleanses — double the power!
-
Visualization: Hold your crystal and imagine white light filling it with love, clarity, and purpose.
-
Intention Setting: After cleansing, hold your crystal and speak or think your intention into it: “I charge this rose quartz with the energy of self-love.”
🔮 How Often Should You Cleanse?
-
After using your crystals in ritual or meditation
-
After being handled by others
-
Once a month during the full moon (great habit!)
✨ Final Tips:
Keep a small altar space or charging dish where your crystals live between uses. Treat them like sacred companions. They'll return the love.
