Crystals, these wondrous allies from Mother Earth, serve as our guides, protectors, and friends. As conduits of energy, they absorb, transmute, and amplify vibrations. But like any relationship, they require care, love, and understanding.

CLEANSING

Cleansing is the act of clearing away energies that may have become slow, stuck, or misaligned. It's a rejuvenation of the crystal's spirit, allowing it to function at its optimal resonance.

When to Cleanse

Intuition is the guiding star here. When energies feel off or heavy, it's time to cleanse. Personal experiences, like being in a toxic environment or touched by those not consented, can signal the need. Please note though that there are some crystal that do not need to be cleansed at all as they do not have the capability to store negative energy. To find out more, read this.

How to Cleanse

Smoke Cleansing: Using incense or cinnamon sticks, allow the smoke to surround the crystal, visualizing impurities dissolving

Water or Salt Cleansing: If the crystal is compatible, water or salt can wash away negativity. Approach this method with caution as some crystals are not salt or water safe

Sound Cleansing: While many people prefer different types of music to cleanse, binural beats is a beautiful option. If you have access to a Tibetian singing bowl or similar instruments, go for it!

Burying in soil: Giving it access to the energies of the earth, where it originally came form, helps with the cleanse

Selenite Stick Cleansing: Waving a Selenite stick over the crystal, imagine cutting away stagnant energies.

CHARGING

Charging is like breathing new life into your crystal. It’s about infusing energy, awakening the crystal’s potential.

When to Charge

When energies feel stagnant or plateaued, charging is the key. Again, your intuition will be your guide.

How to Charge

Sunlight Charging: No more than 5 minutes under direct sunlight to invigorate your crystal.

Moonlight Charging: During Full Moons or significant Moon phases, let the gentle glow of the moon nurture your crystal.

Selenite or Clear Quartz Charging: Keep the crystal next to these master crystals for continuous revitalization.

Visualization: Hold the crystal close to you. Cup in your hands and close your eyes. Visualize a bright ball of light coming from the skies and passing through your crystal. The more the light gets through, the brighter it becomes. Intention and setting a vision for your crystals are everything! Your mind holds a great sense of power that you must utilize!

The Delicate Dance: Cleansing vs. Charging

The balance between cleansing and charging is an art, a rhythmic dance guided by intuition, trust, and experience.

A Simple Ritual to Bond with Your Crystals

1. Create a Sacred Space: Light candles, play soft music, or place flowers amongst your crystal. This ensures not only a vibrant environment but also a place conducive for you to heal, to connect with your Divine guidance and many more.

2. Set Intentions: Trust your intuition and select which crystal you choose to use for the day. Hold your purpose in your heart and visualize the energy from this crystal that intends to help you.

3. Charging: Sense your need and charge using visualization. While at it, set an intention for the particular crystal you chose.

4. Express gratitude: When the day is over or after the crystal has served its purpose, do not forget to thank it. If you feel the need to cleanse at this time, feel free to do so as well.

CRYSTAL CARE

Before you go, here are some added Crystal Care tips:

Avoid Moisture: While it's natural to cleanse certain crystals with water, for crystal bracelets for instance, it's wise to avoid prolonged exposure. Moisture can weaken the elastic or string, leading to breakage, and can also seep into porous stones, diminishing their luster and energy. Wipe any moisture immediately if they do come into contact with water. This holds true as well for oil. While some love to annoint oil on their crystals, doing so can also affect the strength of your crystal. Wipe off any excess right away!

Shield from Harsh Chemicals: Just as negative energies can cloud our aura, harsh chemicals can tarnish the pure essence of your crystals. Keep your crystals and crystal bracelets away from direct exposure to perfumes, lotions, and cleaning agents. Apply any skin products well before wearing any crystal jewelry to ensure they don't transfer onto the crystals.

Embrace Gentle Handling: Treat your crystals — whatever the form—with the same tenderness you would extend to a beloved flower. When putting on or removing your crystal bracelet gently roll it over your hand without stretching the band excessively. This mindful approach helps maintain the bracelet's integrity and energetic alignment. For crystal pieces, avoid throwing them or dropping them on the floor to avoid breakage.

Your journey with crystals is an exploration into the mystical world where energies dance, spirits sing, and magic unfolds.

Embrace this sacred relationship with love, respect, and understanding. For in your hands lies not just a stone, but a universe of wisdom, healing, and empowerment.

May this guide inspire you to journey well, shine bright, and explore the wondrous paths that await within the crystalline embrace.

With Love,
