Your crystals are beautiful gifts from Mother Earth, and like us, they need a little care and intention. Below you’ll find simple, gentle ways to cleanse, charge, and connect with your Soul Joy crystals, so they can support you in the way you need most.
CRYSTAL CARE
Cleansing Your Crystals
Just like us, overtime crystals can absorb energy. Cleansing helps reset and clear any stagnant energy so they can support you fully.
It’s important to note that your crystals don’t need to be cleansed every day. Instead, good practice is to do it once a month or when your crystals start to look dull. The more you use your crystals, the more you’ll know when they need a little reset.
Here are some of my favourite ways to cleanse crystals:
✨ Water:
Some crystals can be briefly rinsed under running water or placed in a bowl of water for a short amount of time.
Avoid water for softer or delicate stones which include any crystals ending in ‘-ite’ such as Selenite, Lepidolite, Pink Mangano Calcite, Rhodonite, Pyrite etc.
✨ Sacred Smoke:
Light some Palo Santo, sage or incense (only if safe to do so). Allow the smoke to surround your crystals.
✨ Sound:
Use a singing bowl, chimes, or even gentle healing frequency music.
✨ Selenite:
Selenite is a master cleanser, and is the only crystal that doesn’t need to be cleansed itself. Placing your crystals on top of or beside Selenite, will help to cleanse and clear the energy.
Charging Your Crystals
Charging your crystals once cleansed, helps to boost and strengthen their energetic vibration.
Here’s how to charge your crystals:
Place under the light of the full moon, either outside or on a windowsill in the moonlight.
Place them on the Earth, either on top of or buried in the soil for a few hours.
Place them in sunlight (for a few hours only as some crystals can fade with long sun exposure).
Connect With Your Crystal
It’s so important when you receive a new crystal to connect with its energy and set an intention for how you want your crystal to support you.
Once your crystals are cleansed and charged, take a few quiet moments to connect with your crystal:
To start, hold your crystal in your left hand which is your receiving hand.
Close your eyes and take a few mindful breaths.
Set an intention for what you want to receive from your crystal, for example: support, calm, joy, protection etc.
Next, move your crystal to your right hand which is your generating, or giving hand.
Now set an intention for what you want your crystal to help you generate, for example: confidence, boundaries, courage etc.
Your guidance card included with your set will help you connect with the energetic and healing benefits that each crystal holds.
