a quick guide for using and caring for your crystal
— cleanse l it's important to cleanse your crystal of negative energies before and after you carry it for an extended period of time or use it in your practice.
methods of crystal cleansing
— water cleansing | mix sea salt and clear water from a natural source — such as rain or a stream. submerge your crystals and let them sit overnight. (don't use this method with crystals that are water soluble)
— smoke cleansing I pass your crystal through incense or herb smoke of your choice
— fire cleansing | quickly pass your crystal through the flame of a lit candle or match (safely and carefully! not all crystals are safe to pass through fire, so please do your research)
— salt cleansing | cover your crystals completely in sea salt and allow them to sit overnight before uncovering them
— earth cleansing | like salt cleansing, bury your crystals in dirt or soil and allow them to sit overnight before uncovering them
— program I after cleansing, you can program your crystal with your desired intention so long as it aligns with the properties of the crystal itself
methods of crystal programming
— visualize | hold your crystal in the hand that feels most comfortable, and imagine a soft light filling your crystal while you focus on your intention. rest when you feel you've activated the crystal
— communicate | while holding your crystal, have a conversation with it. this can be out loud or in your head. be sure to make your intentions clear and show gratitude when you feel your crystal has been activated
— familiarize | carry your crystal with you for a few days or weeks while you focus on your intent. eventually the crystal will activate by picking up your intentions
— charge | lastly, after you've programmed your intent into the crystal, choose a suitable method of charging it with energy
methods of crystal charging
— sunlight | put your crystals outside or on your windowsill in sunlight for the day. (this may cause color fading in certain crystals)
— moonlight | put your crystals outside or on your windowsill overnight in moonlight (pretty much exactly like sunlight but without the possibility of crystal color fading)
— your energy I hold your crystal in your hand and focus your energy into it, allowing it to charge
when you’re finished using your crystals, be sure to store them in a cleansed, sacred, and safe space.
and that’s it! you now have access to magic rocks. enjoy!
