Cleansing, Charging & Activating Crystals

Crystals, carvings and jewellery can be charged in many ways depending on what suits you and your preferences. There are many different cleansing methods and ways to align a crystal with your intention. Use your intuition to decide what works for you.

Crystals need to be charged periodically. Your crystals have been cleansed by the full moon prior to purchase; however, you should charge your crystals once in your possession.

Natural Light: A great way to charge your crystals is to allow them to absorb both sunlight and moonlight. It is most beneficial on full moon night and other points in the solar or lunar cycle. Place your crystals on the ground or on a window sill. Crystals should be charged for 10 - 12 hours. Place your crystals in natural night before nightfall until about 9am (to avoid direct sunlight). This allows your crystals to absorb the benefits of both the moon and the sun.
 
Bury: Dig a small hole in the ground and return your crystals to the earth for charging. Make sure you mark the area so you can easily identify where they are.  Ensure the soil is not too wet, some crystals are not safe when placed in water. 

Burn incense or herbs: To cleanse your crystals, burn some incense and waft the smoke over your crystals. Pass your crystals through the smoke (use palo santo, sage, lavender, eucalyptus or jasmine).

Selenite charging bowl or plate: Place your crystals into a selenite charging bowl or plate to re-charge your crystals and renew their natural properties. 

Sound: Sound is healing and cleansing, especially if people have crystals that you don't want to move. You can use chanting, singing bowls, singing or a bell. Ensure you fully encompass the crystals with all the vibrations of the sound for at least 8 - 10mins to cleanse the area and bring the vibration to the crystal. 
 
Brown rice: Brown rice cleansing is ideal for all crystals. Pour some brown rice in a bowl and bury your crystals to ensure they are all covered. Leave for 24 hours. Brown rice will draw out all the negative energies from your crystals, make sure you throw the rice away immediately after the cleansing period. 

Water: Water is a great way to cleanse your crystals, but not all crystals can be cleansed with water.

Moon water: This is distilled water that has been left to charge under the energy of the full moon. Please email cleanhealingcompany@gmail.com for further information. 

Visualization cleansing: This is a powerful practice of imagination that encompasses the wish you desire. Simply hold the crystal that you need to refresh in the palm of your hand, close your eyes and visualise a ray of white cleansing light washing over it.
