How to charge your crystals and talismans
How to charge your magical crystals, energize them, and manifest your desires
Crystals have been used for healing purposes since ancient times. If you take care of your crystals, cleanse and charge them energetically, they can improve many areas of your life. It doesn't matter that they live for thousands of years, but their energy still remains very strong. When you use stones for healing or perform magical rituals, their healing energy is depleted. As a result, they need to be cleansed energetically and then charged. We recommend cleansing as soon as you purchase them, before treatment, after treatment, illness, placement practice or after experiencing severe stress, and when you intuitively feel that the stone just wants to be cleansed. Stones can be cleansed with Water energy, Air energy, Fire energy, Earth energy, Moon energy, Solar energy.
Cleansing crystals and stones with water energy .
This is the most affordable and fastest way to cleanse stones. It is especially relevant if you work a lot with the energy of stones. Clean running water removes information very well. At home, water can be cleansed in two ways - "passively" and "actively". Passive cleansing - when you put stones in a bowl and leave them for half an hour - an hour. Active cleansing is when you yourself hold the stones under a stream of water and, looking at them, imagine with your thoughts how dirt and negative energy are being cleansed. Usually three to five minutes are enough. After cleansing with water, it is advisable to place the stones next to a burning candle. You can use our candles, which you can find here . Features of cleansing some stones with water. Citrine is cleansed only with cold water. It is not advisable to wash rhodochrosite often, no more than a couple of times a week. It is better not to cleanse sodalite, lazurite, malachite, fluorite and chrysocolla with water. Selenite should not be cleansed with water in any case, because it dissolves in water. Under no circumstances should minerals be cleaned after sudden changes in air temperature, or after sun or cold treatments, as they may crack or split.
Crystals that cannot be cleaned with salt water and salt:
Aquamarine, apophyllite, belomorite, turquoise, hematite, labradorite, calcite, cacholong, lazurite, malachite, onyx, opal, pyrite, rhodonite, rhodochrosite, carnelian, ulexite, fluorite. Salt water affects their physical properties.
Cleaning with air energy .
Wind - air energy. The strongest and easiest way to cleanse stones is to place them in an open space, outdoors. The best time to cleanse stones is when it is windy. Another embodiment of the air element is aromatic incense sticks, palo santo sticks, white sage. Hold the crystals over the incense smoke and say these words "I cleanse and charge you with the energy of air and wind." After that, let the smoke envelop the stones until you feel that the crystals are cleansed. It is best to light the incense only with matches, without using a lighter.
Cleaning Moonlight .
This process takes longer, but if you want to activate the energy of the moon, it is worth waiting. Find a place in your home near a window where the light of the full moon falls directly, and leave the stones for at least a couple of hours. It is advisable to do this process for at least three full moon nights. Even better, place them outside so that the glass does not block the moonlight. If the stone has been heavily polluted, then it is advisable to put it in salt water and leave it in a place where moonlight falls on it for a couple of nights. Proper cleansing is also possible, as the waning moon will cleanse all negativity.
Cleaning Solar energy .
This is one of the deepest cleansing methods. Before cleansing stones in the sun, it is best to rinse them with warm and then cold water (if the water does not harm your stones, which were mentioned above). The stones can be left in the sun for half an hour or an hour, but it is best if you leave them outside or in the garden. When the day is cloudy or overcast, it is advisable to keep the stones outside for a couple of hours, but not longer. If possible, it is ideal to place the crystals on the grass or hang them on a tree branch. It is more difficult for city dwellers, but they can do this on vacation or when going to nature. Take your favorite stones with you, they will be grateful to you for it.
Stones that should not be kept in the sun for a long time
(Otherwise they may change color and break): Amethyst - usually a maximum of 15 minutes, Aquamarine - 5 minutes, Citrine - 5 minutes, Aventurine - 15 minutes, Sodalite, Lapis Lazuli - 5 minutes, Malachite - 30 minutes, Fluorite - 15 minutes, Rose Quartz - 5 minutes.
Cleansing Fire energy .
You can hold the stones near a burning candle and imagine in your mind how the energy of fire warmly and pleasantly envelops the stone, clearing away negative information and charging it with positive fire energy. If you want more intensive cleansing and charging, then take the crystal in your hand and hold the stone above the candle flame (a little higher so that the heat of the fire is not too high) for a few seconds, saying these words "I cleanse and charge you with fire energy". If you want, you can name the crystal instead of the word "you". If you feel that the crystal still needs cleansing and charging, then use Air Energy or other methods of cleansing and charging suitable for the crystal.
Cleansing Earth energy .
Crystals can be kept on the ground, the herb lasts for a day. When placing the crystals, say these words: "I cleanse and charge you with the energy of the earth." If you want, you can name the crystal instead of the word "you." If you feel that a stronger cleansing is needed, you can bury the stones in the ground for seven days. On the eighth day, dig up the crystals and wash them. It is advisable to place crystals in the ground for those who are not afraid of water and moisture.
Signs that the stone is clean .
It is pleasant to the touch, comfortable to carry, the surface feels silky, it looks like “new”. The clean aura of the stone shines with inner light, causing pleasant emotional joy, a surge of strength.
How should stones be loaded?
Both cleansing and charging can be done in the same way. You can cleanse in one way, for example, with earth energy, and charge with air energy. It all depends on your choice, intuition, what is best for you and the stone. Trust yourself.
After cleansing and charging, if necessary, you can form wishes about how the stone helps us, what energy it gives, what desired situation it helps to attract. Take the crystal in your hands and visualize, meditate with the crystal, what energies it gives you, how you feel, how the stone helps you. Imagine that you have everything you need. You can say everything in your mind or out loud.
Another way to charge stones is to ask for help from the universe. In order for us to receive help from the universe, we will need a yellow or gold-colored cloth. The cloth should be quite large so that all the pebbles and crystals can fit. After placing the stones on the cloth, be positive, visualize in your mind how you are drawing white light from the Universe, clean energy, and then charge the desired thoughts and intentions.
Charging a stone with other stones .
Most stones are energy generators. All you need to do is place a stone on or near the stone generator and within 24 hours the energy of the first stone we want to charge will change.
Crystal generators
These are quartz crystals that are naturally transparent. Crystal generators are widely used in spiritual practices and healing. Transmitting high-frequency energies, they are the most powerful energy emitters and transformers. This is the optimal type of mineral that ideally transmits all its programmed energy. Therefore, such crystals generators are very suitable for charging meditation stones. They program a certain task - collect and enhance the properties of stones, project their powerful energy flows.
To charge a stone with a crystal generator, it is enough to leave it for a day in a well-lit place. The same principle is used to charge natural minerals using pyramids, rock crystal , amethyst druses , geodes, spheres and selenite crystals.
