How to Charge and Cleanse Your Crystals
Do you use healing Focus Crystals to invite peace into your home? Perhaps you wear a crystal bracelet for protection or keep a crystal bonsai tree on your office desk for enhanced concentration and to attract prosperity. These powerful tools work wonders, but to keep their energy pure and potent, they require regular care. Just like you recharge your own spirit, your crystals need cleansing and charging to function at their best.
Cleansing purifies your crystal, wiping away any accumulated negative energies, while charging amplifies its natural vibrational power. Under the guidance of Aakriti Sonawala, our resident crystal healing expert, we at Tatsat have crafted this essential guide for beginners on how to charge crystals and cleanse them effectively. Whether you're learning how to charge crystals for beginners or are a seasoned practitioner, these methods will help you maintain the highest vibrational energy in your collection.
How to cleanse your crystals
Cleansing is the first and most crucial step. It resets your crystal’s energy, making it ready for programming and use. Here are 5 effective methods to cleanse your crystals.
1. Running Water
Holding your crystal under natural, running water for about a minute is a simple and powerful way to wash away stagnant energy. As the water flows over it, visualize all impurities being neutralized and carried away. This method is perfect for hard stones like Quartz but avoid using it for soft or porous stones like Selenite or Malachite.
2. Sage
The ancient practice of smudging with a sage bundle is a timeless method for spiritual clearing. Light your sage stick, let it catch flame, and then gently blow it out so it produces smoke. Carefully pass your crystal or crystal bracelet through this smoke for 30-60 seconds. As you do this, hold a clear intention of purification, asking the smoke to release any inharmonious energies attached to the stone.
3. Salt Water
Salt has powerful purifying properties. Submerging your crystals in a bowl of lukewarm salt water (using sea salt or Himalayan salt) can effectively draw out negativity. Let them soak for a few hours to overnight. Important Note: Avoid this method for stones like Selenite, Malachite, Pyrite, and Angelite, as salt water can damage their surface or structure.
4. Palo Santo
Known as "Holy Wood," Palo Santo is revered for raising vibrations and cleansing spaces. Light a Palo Santo stick and extinguish it to create a fragrant smoke. Set your intention (e.g., "Cleanse this crystal of all negative energy") and gently wave your crystal through the smoke. The sacred scent not only cleanses the crystal but also brings a sense of deep calm to your environment.
5. Selenite Tower
Selenite is a self-cleansing stone that also cleanses others. Placing your crystals on or next to a Selenite tower or plate is one of the easiest "set it and forget it" methods. Leave them in contact for several hours or overnight. The Selenite will continuously work to purify their energy, making it an ideal tool for maintaining a large crystal collection.
How to charge your crystals
Once your crystals are cleansed, they are like a blank slate, ready to be charged with specific intent. Charging empowers your crystal, amplifying its natural properties—whether you're seeking the best crystals to attract money like Citrine or Pyrite, or want to enhance the protective energy of Black Tourmaline.
1. Natural Light
The sun and moon are profound natural sources of energy. Placing your cleansed crystals in direct moonlight (especially during a Full Moon) is a gentle and powerful way to charge them. Sunlight is also effective but can be too intense and may fade certain stones like Amethyst or Rose Quartz. Always research your specific crystal. For a safe charge, place them on a windowsill where they can bask in the light without risk.
2. Selenite Plate
A Selenite plate acts as a perpetual charging station. Simply place your cleansed crystals on the plate. The high vibrational energy of Selenite will not only cleanse but also continuously charge them, keeping their energy strong and active. This is perfect for your everyday jewelry like crystal bracelets or pocket stones.
3. Sound & Tibetan Singing Bowl
Sound vibrations are a profound way to charge and harmonize your crystals. The pure, resonant frequency from a Tibetan singing bowl can effectively envelop your stones in healing energy. You can also use chanting, bells, or even soothing music. Place your crystals nearby as you play the sound, visualizing the vibrations filling them with light and power.
