Let's Get Crystal Clear : Cleansing & Charging
Just like people, crystals love a good cleanse and reset. It’s with a new day, month or year that most goals are set and we turn the page of a new chapter. So, it makes sense that your crystals transitions through these times with you. Cleansing your crystals is not done with soapy water, and charging isn’t done with a power point. Crystals are cleansed and charged by the natural elements of Mother Nature.
1. CLEANSING: Reset the frequency of your crystal, back to neutral.
Since crystals absorb the negative energy around you, it's important to reset their frequency, ridding them of the negative vibrations they have taken for you. And, by 'reset' it's simply a case of bringing the crystal back to it's natural energetic state. Cleansing is something you can do anytime, as frequently as you wish. It's an act of self love to cleanse yourself if you're feeling energetically vulnerable, perhaps you've had a bad day or you want to come back to your most authentic self.
Here are a few different ways you can cleanse your crystals and yourself :- Using your
Sage Smudge smoke
- Keeping
Selenite crystal nearby
- In the sunlight
- Under the ocean water
- Using cleansing spray
- By candlelight
- In the soil of the earth
- The vibrations of sound / music
2. CHARGING: Replenishing the energy of your crystal.
One of the best times to charge your crystals is on a Full Moon. When the moon is full it sits on either side of the earth as the sun which creates a kind of friction. This emits a huge vibrational force and when your crystals are sitting outside, or in a window of a full moon they are exposed to that wonderful frequency.
This natural force penetrates your crystals and just like electricity powers electronic equipment, your crystals will be replenished with the high frequency from the Full Moon. The monthly cycle of charging on a Full Moon offers you a regular ritual to ensure you are realigning your crystals and taking some time to review your own energy and intentions. You can however charge your crystals at any time you feel you need to and you can use the powerful energy of the sunlight Allow your intuition to guide you on when you need to charge up your crystals.
3. PROGRAMMING: The third part of owning crystals is programming them. Once again, let your intuition guide you on when you wish to set your intentions and program you crystals, but if your unsure where to start, a New Moon offers the perfect energetic time to create new intentions and manifestations. Crystals love to be given a job to do, an intention for them to direct their energy towards with you, so by holding them against your skin as you manifest is enough to transfer and intertwine your energy with theirs.
