What are the best ways to cleanse and charge gemstones?

C L E A N S I N G & C H A R G I N G :

Cleanse = Eliminates Stagnant Energy.

Charging = Crystals need to be Charged in order to Replenish their Energy, just like a battery!

Crystals & Gemstones function similarly to batteries, emitting positive energy at a specific frequency into our bodies, resulting sometimes in a tingling sensation. Crystals absorb and convert negative energy, but they have to use their own energy to create a protective shield, which is necessary for deflecting or repelling negativity. When we use a crystal, it will eventually run out of energy and need to be recharged, just like a battery. In its depleted state, the crystal may have also absorbed negative energy, necessitating cleansing and then recharging it.

Cleansing and charging your gemstones is essential for maintaining their energy and effectiveness. Here are some of the best methods to cleanse and charge your gemstones:

1. Water Cleansing

Method: Rinse your gemstones under running water (preferably natural water like a stream or rain). For delicate stones, use a bowl of water instead.
Notes: Avoid this method for stones that are water-soluble or porous, such as Selenite or Angelite.

2. Salt Cleansing

Method: Submerge your gemstones in a bowl of saltwater for several hours.
Alternatively, you can use dry salt by placing the stones in a bowl of salt for 24 hours.
Notes: Be cautious with softer stones, as salt can be abrasive.

3. Smudging

Method: Pass your gemstones through the smoke of burning sage, palo santo, or incense. This method is believed to clear negative energies.
Notes: This method is gentle and works well for all types of gemstones.

4. Sound Cleansing

Method: Use sound vibrations to cleanse your stones. You can use singing bowls, bells, or even your voice.
Notes: The sound waves help to break up stagnant energy.

5. Earth Cleansing

Method: Bury your gemstones in the earth for 24 hours to allow them to reconnect with the natural energy of the ground.
Notes: Make sure to mark where you buried them to easily find them later.

6. Moonlight Charging

Method: Place your gemstones outside or on a windowsill during a full moon to absorb lunar energy.
Notes: This is particularly effective for stones associated with intuition and emotional healing.

7. Sunlight Charging

Method: Expose your gemstones to sunlight for a few hours to recharge their energy.
Notes: Be cautious with stones that may fade in sunlight, such as Amethyst.

8. Crystal Cluster Charging

Method: Place your gemstones on or near a larger crystal cluster, like a Clear Quartz or Selenite. These clusters can amplify and recharge the energy of smaller stones.

9. Visualization

Method: Hold your gemstone and visualize it being surrounded by white light, imagining any negative energy being cleared away and positive energy flowing in.

10. Salt Lamp or Geode Charging

Method: Place your gemstones near a salt lamp or within a geode. The natural energies of these items can help cleanse and charge your stones.

By regularly cleansing and charging your gemstones, you can enhance their effectiveness and ensure they remain powerful allies on your journey. Choose the methods that resonate most with you!
