Cleansing and Recharging Your Crystals

# Crystal Cleansing and Recharging

Crystals absorb the energies of their environment. Cleansing them regularly and recharging them is essential to maintain their effectiveness.

## Cleansing Methods

### Smoke Cleansing (Smudging)

- Burn white sage, palo santo or incense

- Pass the crystal through the smoke for 30 seconds

- ✅ Safe for ALL crystals

### Running Water

- Hold the crystal under cold water for 1 minute

- Visualize negative energies flowing away

- ⚠️ NOT for: Selenite, Celestite, Halite, Malachite (soluble or fragile)

### Salt

- Bury the crystal in sea salt for 4–8 hours

- Discard the salt afterward (it has absorbed the energies)

- ⚠️ NOT for: porous stones or stones with metal

### Sound

- Tibetan singing bowl, bell, 432Hz tuning fork

- Sound "cleanses" through vibration

- ✅ Safe for ALL crystals

### Earth

- Bury the crystal in the ground for 24 hours

- Ideal for heavily "charged" stones

- ✅ Safe for hard stones (Mohs 6+)

## Recharging Methods

### Moonlight

- Expose to full moonlight overnight

- BEST universal method

- ✅ Safe for ALL crystals

### Sunlight

- 30 minutes maximum in morning sunlight

- ⚠️ NOT for: Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Fluorite, Celestite (fading)

### Cluster/Geode

- Place the crystal on a quartz cluster or inside an amethyst geode

- Passive and continuous recharging

### Visualization

- Hold the crystal and visualize white or golden light flowing through it

- Your intention amplifies the recharging

## Frequency

- **After each intense use** (healing session, meditation)

- **Once a week** for crystals you wear daily

- **Once a month** (full moon) for your collection
