Crystal Care, Crystal use, Crystal Cleansing

Step 1: Cleanse and Clear your Crystals

 "Crystals collect energy and it's important to cleanse them for a fresh start. From the mine to your hands, many people might have touched your crystal, each leaving a trace of their energy. Our crystals come pre-cleaned and infused with Reiki, ready to use. Yet, cleansing can rejuvenate all your crystals, anytime for optimal crystal use."
 

 Palo Santo or Incense  Ignite them and allow the sacred smoke to surround your crystal. Picture it filling with a radiant white light or recite a meaningful mantra during this process.
 

Sage Smudging(ethically sourced)

Smudging clears negative vibes and rejuvenates crystals with pure, balancing energy. Light the end of a sage stick and carefully pass your crystals through the smoke for up to a minute. Or, place them in a bowl and surround them with sage smoke for a thorough cleanse.
Himalayan or Sea Salt Bath

 Salt purifies, making it perfect for cleansing crystals. Combine 1 tablespoon of sea salt or Himalayan pink salt with one cup of water in a glass container. No plastic or metal. Immerse crystals overnight. Or, bury crystals in dry salt. Alternatively, a Himalayan salt lamp can cleanse them. Make sure the lamp’s bulb warms the salt. Place crystals near for at least 12 hours.
 

Running water

 To keep your crystals energetically clean, frequently rinse them under running water—ideally from a natural source like a river. If that’s not possible, tap water works too. Just immerse them for a minute. Remember, not all crystals can handle water; selenite and kyanite, for instance, are too delicate. Always check which cleansing method suits your crystal to avoid damage.
 

Step 2: Set an intention for the crystal

 Activating your crystal with a personal intention boosts its effectiveness. Doing this blocks out any previous energies from its past handlers, making it a key step in taking care of your crystals. Here's how: Select a peaceful environment, hold your crystal firmly, and focus sharply on the energy you wish to transfer. Be precise in your intention, whether you seek protection from negativity or to guard your heart against sadness, being specific helps. As you concentrate on this intention, you’re charging the crystal with your positive energy. Meditating with your crystal can further reinforce this process.
 

Step 3: Charging your crystals

Charging crystals reawakens their energy, necessary after they're taken from nature. Cleansing them and infusing with your intentions amplifies their powers. This ritual, aligning them to your needs, uses nature's energy to reconnect. Selecting an activation method that feels right strengthens your bond with the crystal, reinforcing its protective qualities and enhancing your intuition in daily life.
 

• Full Moon Bath:   Energize your crystals simply and effectively by letting them bask in sunlight or moonlight for at least 24 hours post-cleansing. The full moon's energy is powerful, symbolizing prosperity and change, but any moon phase can boost your crystals’ energies. Set them on the ground or a windowsill to absorb the moon’s rays overnight .
• Bury Underground:   Charge your crystal by placing it in a pot with a healthy plant or bury it outside for 24-48 hours. Rinse and it’s ready. Burying reconnects it to Earth, refreshing its energy. Leave it as long as you like and pick it up when you need it.
• Crystal Sound Bath:  Singing bowls have been centerpieces in spiritual and healing practices for centuries, amplifying serenity and positive energy. Enhance your crystal's vibrations with a sound bath. Simply place a singing bowl close to or directly above your crystal to enrich its energy through timeless, soothing tones. Don't have a singing bowl? No problem. Play frequency music on your computer or phone as a modern alternative. 
• Breath Activation:  Pranayama breathing is key in yoga, helping you focus and meditate. Pair it with a crystal, breathe deeply, and use your breath to charge the crystal with protective energy. End by clearing away any negative vibes from the crystal with a sharp exhale and swipe of your hand..
• Bury in sand with Selenite: Experience the natural magic in our store with the sand bath setup starring Selenite. Sand cleanses and activates crystals, while Selenite's power charges them with energy. Simply set your intention and let your crystal absorb the vibe. For an extra boost, rest your crystals on a Selenite log.
• Pair with Selenite or Quartz :  Crystals, like us, thrive with the right company! Selenite shines here; it pulls in negative vibes and radiates positivity. Perfectly cut for this, resting your crystals on a selenite log not only purifies them but gives them a power boost without the need for its own cleansing. Its innate ability to transform negativity makes selenite a dual-action gem for cleaning and energizing your other crystals.  
• Clear quartz  Boost your crystal's energy by pairing it with clear quartz for 8-12 hours. Just don't forget, quartz also requires cleansing to keep doing its job. 

 Crystals harness the energy of the earth, providing healing when aligned with your intentions. Wear them, carry them, or place them near your sleeping area to block negativity and rejuvenate your spirit. Keep crystals close to tap into their energy.
