-
Set a Clear Intention:
To direct a crystal’s energy, you should give it a specific purpose. Hold the stone in your hands, take a moment to quiet your mind, and speak or visualise a clear goal.
Be Specific: Focus on a single, clear intention.
Anchor: Phrase your goal in the present tense as if it is already happening, such as "I am grounded and secure."
Revisit: Reinforce your connection by holding your crystal and re-affirming your intention whenever you need a boost. -
Cleanse your Crystals:
It's believed that crystals absorb energy, both positive and negative. Regularly cleansing them helps clear any negativity and recharge them.
Clear accumulated energy using sound (like a singing bowl), smoke (sage or incense), or resting them on selenite, then recharge their natural energy under moonlight or brief morning sunlight. -
Protect your Crystals:
Protect your crystals from physical damage. Avoid water and direct sunlight for softer or mineral-rich stones like selenite, fluorite, and amethyst, as water can dissolve them and sunlight can fade their colour. Clean delicate varieties gently with a dry microfibre cloth instead.
There's some variation in crystal care. It's always a good idea to research the recommended cleaning and charging methods for each crystal you own.
Crystals are believed to be powerful tools. Treat them with respect and gratitude.
