How to Cleanse and Charge Your Crystals
When you use crystals for spiritual practices, healing, and divination, they need to be cleansed and charged regularly. Crystals can hold all types of positive and negative energy, which might affect their uses. Here are some tips for charging your crystals.
Why Do You Need to Charge Your Crystals?
The reason you cleanse and charge crystals is to remove their current energy and add your own. Crystals hold onto all different forms of energy, not just by you, but also by other people who touch them or go near them, or energy in the space. So, if you are using a crystal to help with emotional trauma, all that negative energy is in the crystal. Before you use it for something else, you need to recharge it.
This is a common mistake people make when they start using crystals for spiritual practices: suddenly, it feels different. This is because you are not cleansing and charging it often enough.
Charge Under the New or Full Moon
The best way to charge your crystals is using the moon. Many people like using the full moon, but the new moon also offers unique benefits.
To start with, the full moon helps cleanse your crystals of negative energy. It is perfect when you first get a new crystal or when you have been using it for a while, and it needs to be charged to accept new energy. Place your crystals outside under the full moon and leave them overnight.
You can also charge crystals with the new moon, though this works better for setting intentions. If the crystals have already been cleansed, you can then program them under a new moon for things like manifestations using those crystals.
Other Methods of Charging Crystals
If you don’t want to use the moon or can’t wait for the next full moon, there are a few more options for charging your crystals.
First of all, you can charge crystals with selenite, which, on its own, can be a charging crystal. This does need to be cleansed during every full moon, though.
Another option is to make moon water by placing a clear water container outside under a full moon, then saving it to cleanse different crystals.
If you have sage to burn in your home for cleansing spaces, you can cleanse crystals with this as well.
Other methods I have used include placing them in a glass container and soaking them in water energized by either placing them on an Energy Card with the specific frequencies to replenish the stones or crystals.
Using a Terahertz, Tesla healing wand to directly shine the light on the crystals so they may receive the energy and frequencies needed to rejuvenate them. This method can also be used to energize water, and the crystals can be soaked directly in the water for 1 to 2 hours. This not only cleanses the crystals by removing the harmful frequencies that have accumulated, but also helps them release their stored energy.
