7 Simple Ways to Recharge and Cleanse Your Crystals

Recharge and cleanse your crystals regularly so that they don’t hold on to negativity. All sorts of energy gets absorbed by your crystals as you use them or wear them as jewelry so you will want to recharge and cleanse your crystals daily. Luckily, there are simple ways to do this.

Running Water

 

Water is believed to neutralize any negative energy and return it back to earth. Running water, like a stream is best, but you can also rinse your stones under water for about a minute each. Pat dry when complete. 

Natural Light

 

Set your stones out before nightfall and leave them overnight. Your stones will get recharged by the moon and sun. 

In the Earth

 

You can bury your stones in the earth to cleanse them.  Leave them overnight.

Smudge with Sage

 

Sage is considered a sacred plant with many healing properties. Smudging your stones can clear inharmonious vibrations and restore its natural energy. Light your sage in one hand and in the other, allow the stone to move through the smoke and envelope it for 30 - 60 seconds. Do this in a well ventilated area or outside.

Sound

 

Using chanting, singing bowls or tuning forks to wash over an area, bringing it into the same vibration. Any key will work so long as the sound is loud enough to encompass the stone. Do this for 5-10 minutes. 

Selenite

 

This crystal has clearing and purifying properties. Place your stones directly on top of the selenite for 24 hours. 

Visualization

 

First ground and center your own energy, then pick up your stone and visualize your hands filling with white, radiant light. See the light surrounding the stone and getting brighter in your hands. Envision the impurities flushing out of the stone. Do this until you feel a shift in the stone's energy.
