Crystal Charging By Puja Rai

Charging crystals is a practice often used in various spiritual and healing traditions. The idea is to rejuvenate and cleanse crystals to enhance their natural properties and energies. Here are some common methods used to charge crystals:

1. Sunlight or Moonlight: Placing crystals in direct sunlight or moonlight for several hours can be a way to cleanse and charge them. Sunlight is typically used for a more energizing charge, whereas moonlight, especially during a full moon, is believed to provide a more soothing charge.
2. Earth Charging: Burying crystals in the earth overnight or for a few days is another method. This is intended to ground the crystals and cleanse them of negative energy by using the earth’s natural energies.
3. Water Cleansing: Some crystals can be charged and cleansed by rinsing them under natural running water, like a stream or river. However, not all crystals are water-safe (some may dissolve or degrade), so it’s important to know the properties of each crystal.
4. Sound Cleansing: Using sound vibrations from singing bowls, bells, or even chanting can charge crystals. The vibrations are said to cleanse the crystals and align their energy.
5. Other Crystals: Certain crystals, like selenite or clear quartz, are believed to have the ability to cleanse and charge other crystals simply by being in close proximity.
6. Visualization or Meditation: Holding a crystal during meditation and visualizing light or energy filling the crystal can also charge it. This method combines personal intention with the crystal’s energies.
