Welcome to the world of crystal healing! You just found a beautiful new crystal, congratulations! Now you’re probably wondering, “What next”?
In this post, we’ll explore the essential steps to take with your new crystals, from cleansing and charging to using them in your spiritual practice.
Step 1: Cleanse Your Crystals:
Before using your new crystals, it’s more than a good idea to cleanse them when you first bring them into your home. To prevent any negative energy it is holding, cleanse it. It’s like washing your hands before eating. so, just get the habit of clearing every crystal before working with it especially when it’s new.
Now, how do you cleanse them?
- · Place them in a bowl of sea salt overnight
- · Run them under cool water
- · Smoke cleansing (like sage or lavender)
- · You can also cleanse with sound (such as with a singing bowl)
- · Surround your crystals in dry rice for several days.
Step 2: Charge Your Crystals
After cleansing, you may want to energize or restore their purpose.
MOONLIGHT
“Moonstone and Amethyst, for instance, especially benefit from being charged by moonlight. Similarly, any crystal associated with the water element can gain from this process. Consequently, placing these crystals under the moonlight not only enhances their properties but also aligns them with their elemental energies. Furthermore, by regularly charging them in this way, you help maintain their optimal vibrational frequency.”The Full moon is the best time to charge as the energy is at its peak.
SUNLIGHT
Carnelian, Sunstone and Citrine benefit from being charged by the sun. Any crystal that is a fire element can benefit from charging in the sunlight. You should be careful as some stones that are left in the sun for too long can fade.
SOUND
Crystals that are associated with the element of air like to be charged with sound. This includes Lapiz Lazuli, Sodalite, and Selenite. You can use various sound sources such as singing bowls, bells, tuning forks, or even your own voice through chanting.
BURYING
Rhodonite and Rose Quartz love to charge through direct contact with the earth.
Certainly! Here’s a more active version of that phrase:
“You can also charge crystals associated with earth energy in a couple of ways. First, dig a small hole and then place the crystals in the hole. After covering them with soil for a few minutes, you will be able to harness the grounding energy of the earth. Alternatively, you can simply place the crystals so that they touch the earth directly. By doing this, you ensure that the crystals are fully immersed in the earth’s energy, which can enhance their natural properties.”
Step 3: Program/ Dedicate Your Crystals
Dedicating or Programming your crystals is setting an intention for their use. Certainly! Here’s a revised version with more transition words:
“A clear, but undedicated or unprogrammed crystal is essentially like an empty space. Therefore, if you don’t fill it with pure intentions or assign it a specific purpose, it may absorb other negative energies. As a result, you might need to clear these unwanted energies from the crystal again. To avoid this, consistently infuse the crystal with positive intent or regularly give it a clear, focused task.”
To dedicate/ Program your crystals, Hold your crystal in your hand, a few at a time, focus on your intention, and say a simple phrase like, “I dedicate this crystal for [your intention here].” This could be for protection, healing, or manifestation.
Step 4: Use Your Charged Crystals
Sure! Here’s a more active version of the phrase:
“Now that you’ve cleansed, charged, and programmed your crystals, start putting them to use!”
Keep them in your pocket or wear them as jewelry.
