Purification & recharging
Why should I clean my crystals and jewelry?
We understand that cleaning can be a chore, but as the saying goes, "clean space, clean mind." Just as clearing a cluttered room brightens your outlook, purifying your healing stones lightens their energy and ensures that they vibrate their healing properties to their highest potential. When you learn to recharge crystals daily, it can enhance their healing properties and strengthen their ability to support your intention.
The reason crystals are so effective in energy work is the same reason why cleansing them is essential: crystals capture energy. Cleansing your crystals resets their energy, so that every time you work with them, you're starting with an energetically clean slate. If you never cleanse your crystals, they will continue to store energy until they are no longer useful conduits. A towel can wipe away dirt, but if you never wash it, it will start to add to the grime; the crystals are similar. For a crystal to purify your energy, you must first return its gesture and cleanse its energy.
How should I go about cleaning my crystals, bracelets and necklaces?
If you're wondering how to refill stones, we'll show you a few methods that have worked for us over the years . The secret to effectiveness is incorporating crystal cleansing and recharging into your daily routine. Here are a few different methods for purifying the energy of your crystals:
Moonlight bath
Leave your crystals to bathe outside in sunlight or moonlight for at least 4 hours. Who isn't energized by a little rest and relaxation in nature?
Back to nature
We all need the energetic reset that comes with a return to nature. To give your crystal that revitalizing treat, place it on the ground or hang your crystal jewelry from the branches of a healthy houseplant for 24 hours.
Smoke them
By burning sage and palo santo, not only will your home smell great, but your crystals will too. Immerse your stone in the sacred smoke until your piece becomes energetically still. When lighting sage, hold it under an abalone shell, which will collect the ashes and also serve as a bowl for all your smudging tools. The shell also has a row of small holes, perfect for holding a feather or incense sticks.
Selenite or Quartz
Play the role of crystal matchmaker and combine your stone with a selenite or quartz crystal! These two crystals have the rare ability to charge and purify other crystals, without ever losing their own energy. Place your crystal on a piece of quartz or selenite for six hours. After an appointment with these stones, your crystal will be in high vibration heaven.
Now that I have cleaned my crystals and jewelry, what should I do?
Just as you need a sense of direction to be more productive, your crystal needs it too. Giving your stone a job allows you to set your intention for the work you will do together. You can be very specific! For the crystal to help you bring your intentions to fruition , you must be clear about your exact intention when programming it. Whether you activate a gemstone or a raw stone, the process of activating your crystal remains the same. Sit quietly, holding the stones in both hands. Breathe in the highest white light, then visualize your intention for the jewelry. The stones are listening. After programming the crystals with your intention, your crystal is now activated. If you are cleansing and activating crystal jewelry, for best results, wear it for 10 to 21 consecutive days after setting your intention (you can take it off in the evening). Remember that programming only makes sense if you have found the right stone so as not to distort its properties. The choice is therefore crucial.
Charge your crystal
If you're wondering how to charge crystals, know that there are many ways to connect to their energy. Since crystal healing is a personal journey, we recommend choosing a method that resonates with you at that moment. Crystals have a regular rhythm that matches the healing energy of the earth, which is why they are the perfect companions on any spiritual journey.
How long should I work with my crystals?
When you first receive your stone , you need to solidify your bond. As with any relationship, it takes time for your energies to synchronize. You want to make sure that you are reaffirming your own devotion to your intentions by continuing to reestablish them with your crystal. This strengthens your connection with your stone, so that you both vibrate your resolutions at the highest frequency .
I've had my crystal for two days. Why isn't it working?
Is a diet effective in two days? Does a fitness program work in two days? Like any new program, it takes time and consistency to achieve results. Working with crystals is no different. The magic isn't the crystal, it's you. It's not the crystal that does the work, it's you that does it. It is an ally in your journey. A tool that helps you get where you want to go.
The key to harnessing the full potential of crystal healing is to have the courage and faith to believe in the effectiveness of gemstones when used in combination with various types of meditation. Thoughts can be very powerful, especially when working with crystal energy, which amplifies everything around it.
The important thing is to be patient in your crystal healing practice. Each day you can go a little deeper with your crystals, and the many small accomplishments day after day will eventually lead you to achieve your personal goals and make real changes that you can notice. Remember to recharge and cleanse your stones regularly , which will amplify your intentions and further enhance their healing properties.
