How To Charge Crystals
Crystals are used for many different things, including healing, energy work and protection. If you’re new to the world of crystals, you may be curious how to charge your crystals. So here’s a quick guide on how to charge your crystals!
Although people tend to think of charging crystals as a magical or woo-woo practice, it’s actually quite simple and straightforward. Crystals are made up of atoms and molecules just like everything else on earth, and so they can be charged with electricity.
To charge your crystals, simply place them under direct sunlight for a few hours. You can also use moonlight instead of sunlight if that’s more convenient. You should also place your crystals in a patch of dirt or soil overnight to cleanse them from any negative energy that they may have absorbed over time.
How often should you charge your crystals? That depends on how often you use them! If you use your crystal every day for healing work, then it’s important that you recharge it at least once per week so that its energy doesn’t get depleted too quickly. If you only use the crystal occasionally then charging it once every few months should suffice!
Moon
The most basic way of charging a crystal is by placing it under the moon. It’s a good idea to place your stones on a window sill or outside, so they’re exposed to the direct light of the moon. You can place them directly on the ground, or in a dish filled with sand (this will prevent them from rolling away, and may be useful if you’re doing this inside).
A few notes about this method:
It’s best to charge the crystals when the moon is full, as the energy of a full moon carries more power. However, you can still charge them during other phases of the moon—you just won’t get as much energy from it.
If you are charging multiple crystals at once, make sure you have enough space for each one to be fully bathed in moonlight. You don’t want them stacked up on top of each other, or overlapping too much.
If possible, try to keep your crystals out for at least 12 hours. This way, they’ll get plenty of time to soak up that lunar energy!
Sun
The most common way to charge your crystals is by sunbathing them. This is easy and can be done at home or outdoors. The sun provides the energy needed for your crystals to function properly, so get them out in the sunshine!
It’s important that you don’t expose your crystals to direct sunlight for longer than 30 minutes, as this will cause them to break down. You should also avoid leaving any crystals in direct sunlight for longer than 48 hours, as this will cause them to fade over time.
Earth
The energy of the Earth is very grounding, and when you use it to charge your crystals you are inviting that calming, stabilizing energy into your life.
You can do this by burying them in the ground (make sure to mark where they are so you don’t dig them up again!) or by placing them in a bowl or on a large plate and setting them outside for at least 24 hours.
Fire
Crystals can help you manifest your intentions. They can also be charged using the fire element. Fire represents passion, energy and transformation. You can use it to bring change into your life, or to amplify other crystals’ properties.
Here’s how to charge your crystals with fire:
Light a candle and place the crystal on top of it. Make sure that the candle is not too close to the crystal, as this can damage it.
Focus on what you want from this crystal and how it will help you achieve it. If you have an intention for this crystal, say it aloud three times while holding the stone in your hand. Then place it on top of the candle until it cools down completely (if possible).
Water
Water is the another common method for charging crystals. It is used for cleansing and charging, as well as for meditation.
You can use any type of water, but distilled water is recommended because it has no impurities or chemicals in it.
Distilled water can be bought at a health food store or grocery store.
To charge your crystals with water:
- Fill a glass bowl or container with distilled water until it is about half-full.
- Place your crystal in the bowl and let it sit there for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, remove the crystal from the water and rinse it off under running water for about three minutes to make sure all the charged energy has been released from the crystal.
It is important to charge crystals because it clears their energy.
Charging your crystals is an important part of keeping them healthy, as it clears their energy. It is a good idea to charge your crystals every time you use them.
You can charge your crystals in a number of ways, but some ways are more effective than others.
