How to Take Care of Your Crystals: Cleansing, Charging & Storing

1. Cleansing Your Crystals

Crystals absorb energy from their surroundings, and over time, they can become heavy or dull. Regular cleansing helps reset their vibrations and removes any accumulated negative energy.

Best Methods to Cleanse Crystals:

🔮 Smoke Cleansing (Smudging): Pass your crystals through the smoke of burning sage, palo santo, or incense to clear stagnant energy.
💧 Water Cleansing: Rinse your crystals under running water (natural spring water is best). However, avoid water for soft or porous stones like selenite, malachite, or pyrite.
🌕 Moonlight Bath: Place your crystals under the full moon overnight to naturally cleanse and recharge them.
🌞 Sunlight Cleansing: Some crystals, like citrine and carnelian, love sunlight! However, others (like amethyst and rose quartz) can fade in direct sun.
🌍 Earth Burial: Bury your crystal in the soil for 24 hours to ground and reset its energy.
🎶 Sound Healing: Use singing bowls, bells, or tuning forks to cleanse crystals with vibrational frequency.

Tip: Always check if your crystal is safe for water or sunlight before using these methods.

2. Charging Your Crystals

Once cleansed, your crystals are like a blank slate—ready to be infused with energy and intention.

Ways to Charge Crystals:

🔋 Moonlight & Sunlight: Also works for charging! The full moon is especially powerful for amplifying a crystal’s energy.
💎 Selenite or Clear Quartz: These high-vibration crystals naturally charge other stones when placed together.
👐 Energy & Intention: Hold your crystal in your hands, close your eyes, and set a clear intention for its purpose.
🔮 Crystal Grids: Arranging your crystals in a sacred geometric pattern enhances their energy.

3. Storing Your Crystals

Proper storage helps protect your crystals from damage and keeps their energy pure.

Crystal Storage Tips:

📦 Keep Them Separate: Store each crystal individually in a soft pouch or cloth to prevent scratches.
📍 Use a Dedicated Space: A crystal altar, wooden box, or velvet-lined drawer works well.
🛡️ Avoid Cluttered Energy: Keep your crystals in a clean and peaceful environment, away from electronic devices that emit EMF (like Wi-Fi routers and cell phones).
🔆 Regularly Cleanse & Rotate: Even stored crystals can absorb surrounding energy, so cleanse them periodically.
