The Importance of Personal Crystal Cleansing and Charging
Share
When it comes to crystals, their ability to absorb and hold energy is what makes them special. However, it is this very quality that necessitates regular cleansing and charging, especially after they've been handled or transported. While some sellers may claim to have cleansed and charged crystals before shipping, it is my personal belief that every crystal owner should take the time to cleanse and charge their crystals upon receiving them, ensuring the energy is aligned with their intentions.
Why Personal Cleansing Matters
- Transit Energy Absorption: Crystals in transit are likely exposed to various energies from the people and environments they pass through. While they may be securely wrapped, their vibrational nature allows them to absorb subtle energies.
- Alignment with Your Energy: Cleansing and charging crystals upon receipt allows you to infuse them with your personal intentions and energy, making them uniquely attuned to your needs.
- In-Person Purchases: If buying crystals in person, where a seller has cleansed and charged them, the process might differ. However, even in such cases, a personal cleansing work can strengthen your connection with the crystal.
Cleansing Methods Using the Four Elements
-
Water and Salt Cleansing:
- Fill a glass or ceramic bowl with sea salt and water.
- Submerge crystals (avoid those in elastic or wire jewelry) and leave them under moonlight overnight.
- For jewelry or water-sensitive stones, limit submersion to five minutes.
- The next day, rinse the crystals with saltwater, avoiding direct sunlight exposure.
-
Incense and Flame Cleansing:
- Pass crystals through the smoke of incense to clear their energy.
- Gently wave them over a flame, keeping a safe distance, to purify their vibrations.
-
Salt Bowl Cleansing:
- Fill a bowl with sea salt, Himalayan salt, or rock salt.
- Place the crystals in the bowl for a few hours. Optionally, add a Selenite piece for enhanced cleansing.
-
Earth Cleansing:
- Use the energy of plants or soil for grounding and cleansing.
- Place the crystals on the soil of a house plant or under a large tree, leaving them overnight under the moonlight.
-
Selenite Cleansing:
- Place your crystals in a Selenite bowl, plate, or tile for a few hours.
- Selenite’s natural cleansing properties make it an easy and efficient method for daily cleansing.
Special Considerations for Water-Sensitive Crystals
Avoid water cleansing for crystals like Selenite, Malachite, Tektite, and others, especially those ending in "ite." For these, opt for alternative methods like smoke cleansing, salt bowls, or Selenite charging.
Charging Crystals with Intention
-
Ground Yourself:
- Sit in a calm space and ground your energy through meditation.
- Visualize a white light enveloping your body and connecting you to the crystal.
-
Direct Your Energy:
- Hold the crystal in your dominant hand and visualize your intentions flowing into it.
- Once you feel a shift in energy, the crystal is ready to support you.
-
Keep Close:
- After charging, keep your crystal close—either in your pocket, bag, or as jewelry—for continuous alignment with your energy.
