Why it’s crucial that you charge your crystals.
Crystals tend to hold on to the energy they’re exposed towhich isn’t always a good thing.
That’s why it’s important toget rid of any negative energyyour crystal has accumulated as needed.
How to pick the best method for charging.
According to Quinn, your best bet is tofollow your intuition.
No charging method is better than another.
(More on that later.)
9 crystal charging methods:
Placing them under the full moon.
Even a windowsill inside that gets moonlight will do!
Soak them in moon water.
For another moon-related crystal charging option, Quinn suggestsmaking your own moon water.
Again, be sure to only do this with stones that can tolerate getting wet.
Bury them in the ground.
“Bury the crystal in the soil within the pot or jar.
Then, lower the pot into the hole and cover it with the remaining soil.
This will help charge your stone with the powerful properties of the ground it came from.
Give them a sound bath.
“I like to place them in a singing bowl and ring it,” she previously told mbg.
Burn incense or herbs over them.
Frazier is also a fan of charging crystals with herbs orincense, as is Leavy.
Immerse them in salt.
Quinn says you might also use salt (preferably sea salt) for charging your crystals.
Simply place your stone in salt and let it sit overnight.
Use your breath to charge them.
Your breath can also be used for clearing crystals, Leavy previously told mbg.
Connect them to your spirit guides.
If you work with anyspiritual guidesor deities, you might connect your crystals with them, Quinn explains.
A cleansing visualization.
“See the light expand until it surrounds the stone and fills your hands.
Intend that all negativity be removed from the stone and dissolved,” she instructs.
“When you intuitively feel that the stone has been cleared, you may stop the visualization.”
Tips to keep in mind.
The same goes for crystals.
Where should you store your crystals once they’re charged?
That way, they’ll avoid getting scratched or dusty.
Be particularly mindful of any sharp edges, as pieces can break off if knocked around.
The bottom line.
Fromgiving you a new perspective moodtofueling your creativity, there’s a crystal to help out.
But the longer we have crystals in our possession, the more energy they can get bogged down with.
To check that your stones are not holding on to any lingering negativity, clear them as needed.
You may very well feel the difference afterward.
