How to Cleanse and Charge Your Crystals

cleansing begins with light

 

Why cleansing matters

Every crystal holds energy. When it travels from the earth to your hands, it absorbs the frequencies around it. Cleansing helps release what does not belong so your stone can return to its natural vibration. Think of it as clearing space for your own energy to flow freely again.

When to cleanse your crystals

There are no strict rules, but a good rhythm is:

• When you first bring a crystal home
• After wearing or using it during emotional days
• After someone else has handled it
• Every full moon or at the start of each month

Trust your intuition. If your bracelet feels heavier, dull, or energetically tired, it may simply need a cleanse.

Simple cleansing methods

Choose one method that feels right for you. Crystals respond best to gentle, intentional care.

1. Moonlight
Place your bracelet on a windowsill or outside under the moon overnight. The soft light helps refresh and clear lingering energy.

2. Smoke or sound
Use sage, incense, or Palo Santo to allow smoke to pass around your bracelet. If you prefer sound, ring a bell or chime near your crystals to shift the energy through vibration.

3. Selenite plate
Lay your bracelets on a selenite plate for a few hours. Selenite naturally clears and charges other stones.

4. Earth or salt (for durable stones only)
Bury your crystal in the earth for a few hours or rest it on a small bed of sea salt. Avoid this for soft or porous stones like Selenite, Calcite, or Kyanite.

Charging your crystals

Once your crystal is cleansed, it is ready to be recharged with your intention. This step helps align it with your energy.

 

set your intention with light and love

 

1. Light
Set your bracelet in sunlight or moonlight for a few hours to awaken its energy.
(Avoid direct sunlight for vibrant stones like Amethyst or Rose Quartz, as color may fade over time.)

2. Visualization
Hold your bracelet in both hands. Close your eyes and picture a bright, pure light flowing into the stones. Take slow breaths and repeat your intention quietly.

3. Affirmation
Speak your intention clearly. For example: “I release what no longer serves me and welcome calm and clarity” or “my energy is grounded, my mind is open, my heart is at peace.”

Cleansing and charging schedule

Many people like to cleanse weekly and charge monthly, but feel free to create your own rhythm. The key is consistency and mindfulness. Treat your crystals as companions in your healing journey, and they will continue to hold space for your growth.
