How to Cleanse and Charge Your Crystals Properly

Cleansing and charging your crystals is essential to keeping their energy pure and powerful. Over time, stones absorb emotional residue, stress, and outside energy. Just like us, they need a reset.

Whether you’re working with crystals for healing, meditation, or manifestation, this simple guide will help you restore your stones to their natural state.

When Should You Cleanse Your Crystals?

    •    After receiving a new crystal

    •    After heavy use or emotional work

    •    After being handled by others

    •    When energy feels dull or “off”

As a general rule: cleanse regularly, charge intentionally.

5 Easy Ways to Cleanse Your Crystals

1. Smoke Cleansing (Sage, Palo Santo, Incense)

Pass your crystal through natural smoke for 30–60 seconds. This method clears stagnant energy gently.

Best for: All stones, especially delicate or soft ones.

2. Moonlight (Full Moon Energy)

Leave your crystals under moonlight overnight — preferably during a full moon.

Best for: Feminine energy, water-connected stones like moonstone and aquamarine.

3. Sound (Tuning Forks, Singing Bowls)

Vibrations from sound can clear energy without physical contact.

Best for: Grids, delicate clusters, group cleansings.

4. Salt or Saltwater (Caution!)

Bury crystals in sea salt overnight or soak them briefly in saltwater — but only for stones that are not water-sensitive.

Avoid with: Selenite, Malachite, Pyrite, and soft stones.

5. Earth Burial (Return to Nature)

Bury your crystal in soil for 24–72 hours to deeply reset its frequency.

Best for: Grounding stones like Black Tourmaline or Smoky Quartz.

How to Charge Your Crystals

Once cleansed, charge your crystals with intention. You can:

    •    Place them in sunlight (briefly, to avoid fading)

    •    Hold them while meditating on your goal

    •    Set them near other high-vibration stones like Quartz or Selenite

Conclusion

A clean and charged crystal works in harmony with you.

Take care of your stones, and they’ll take care of your space, spirit, and energy.
