Crystals are powerful tools that can help balance your energy, support intentions, and elevate your daily spiritual practice. However, to maintain their potency, they must be regularly cleansed, charged, and used with awareness. This guide outlines best practices for working with crystals and crystal jewellery.

🔹 How to Cleanse Your Crystals - Crystals absorb energy from their surroundings, so regular cleansing is essential. Below are various effective methods:

1. The Four Elements Method - Use Earth, Water, Fire, and Air:

  • Fill a ceramic or glass bowl with sea salt and water.
  • Submerge your crystals for 5 minutes.
  • Drain the water and leave crystals in the bowl overnight (away from direct sunlight).
  • The next day, give them another quick saltwater rinse and remove before sunrise.
  • Pass them through incense smoke (Air), then near candle flame (Fire) without overheating.
  • Hold the crystal in your dominant hand, visualize a white light, and charge it with your intention.

2. Smudging - Use sage, purification Incense, resin , or any incense to pass your crystals through smoke while visualizing any negativity clearing away. Suitable for all crystals, especially those sensitive to water.

3. Moonlight - Place your crystals under the moonlight—preferably during the Full Moon. Leave them overnight and retrieve them before direct sunlight.

4. Saltwater - Soak water-safe crystals like Black Tourmaline or Smoky Quartz in saltwater for 5 minutes. Avoid this method for delicate or soft stones.

5. Sound Cleansing - Use a singing bowl, bell, or tuning fork. The vibrations will energetically purify your crystals.

6. Earth Burial - For deeper energetic reset, bury your crystals in the soil for 24 hours to a week.

🔹 Special Care for Elastic Crystal Bracelets

  • Do not soak for long periods — the elastic band may weaken or snap.
  • You can place them on a bed of sea salt for 10 minutes rather than in water.
  • Always remove bracelets before showering or swimming.
  • Cleanse using smoke, moonlight, or by placing them on a Selenite slab.

🔹 How to Charge Your Crystals - Charging restores a crystal’s energy after cleansing:

  • Sunlight: Place sunlight-safe crystals like Citrine or Clear Quartz for a few hours. Avoid for fading stones like Amethyst or Rose Quartz.
  • Intentions: Hold the crystal and set a focused intention. Visualize it being filled with purpose-aligned energy.
  • Other Crystals: Charge smaller stones by placing them on Selenite or Clear Quartz.
  • Visualization: Envision a golden or white light enveloping and energizing the crystal.

🔹 Which Hand to Wear Crystals On? - Your choice of hand affects how you receive or project energy:

  • Left Hand (Receiving): Ideal for attracting love, calmness, or healing.
    Example: Wear Rose Quartz on your left wrist to invite love.
  • Right Hand (Giving): Supports protection and energy projection.
    Example: Wear Black Tourmaline on your right wrist to shield against negativity.

🔹 Using Crystals in Daily Life

  • Meditation: Hold calming stones like Amethyst or Clear Quartz to deepen focus.
  • Jewellery: Wearing crystal accessories keeps their energy close to your aura all day.
  • Crystal Grids: Combine specific stones in geometric patterns for focused intentions.
  • Sleep Support: Place Moonstone or Selenite under your pillow for restful sleep.
  • Home & Workspace:
    • Place Black Tourmaline near the entrance for protection.
    • Use Clear Quartz on your desk for focus and clarity.

🔹 What to Expect from Crystals - Crystals work subtly yet effectively, shifting your energy over time. Here are common categories and their effects:

  • Balancing Stones (Rose Quartz, Amethyst) - Emotional stability and inner peace.
  • Grounding Stones (Black Tourmaline, Hematite): Centering and focus.
  • Abundance Stones (Citrine, Green Aventurine): Confidence and prosperity.
  • Spiritual Stones (Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite): Clarity, intuition, and spiritual insight.

🔹 Disposing of a Crystal - When a crystal has served its purpose, release it with respect:

  • Bury It: Return it to the earth.
  • Water Release: Let it go into a clean river or ocean, only if safe for nature.
  • Gift It: Pass it on to someone in need of its energy.

Important Note on Water Safety

·        Many crystals ending in “-ite” (like Selenite, Malachite, Lepidolite, Fluorite) are not water-safe — they can dissolve, crack, or release harmful minerals. Always double-check before using water cleansing methods.

·        Use smudging, moonlight, sound, or Selenite plates instead for these delicate stones.
