Crystal How To: Choose, Cleanse, Charge, Bond, and Use

Choosing

Choosing based on what you find pretty, are drawn to, or properties you want to attract are all valid with crystals.

If you just think they are pretty, you would be correct! Happy collecting!

If you are drawn to them that's your subconscious or intuition saying that crystal is meant for you, or you need it's properties in your life.

If you are looking for properties or spiritual use all of the sections below are all things you should consider when choosing. Crystals are great to help with anything you are struggling with or want to attract more of.

Cleansing

When you bring your crystals home I highly recommend you cleanse them. I try to cleanse then after any major events or moves but they still absorb unwanted energy by the time they reach you especially if you've adopted them at one of my vendor events or through being handled for shipping.

Please look at my item descriptions or research safe cleansing methods for the material you have chosen. Some crystals such as Malachite, Selenite, and more and they are porous materials and can cause unwanted breakage.

Here are a few ways to cleanse:

- Sound cleanse (Bells, singing bowls, etc.)

- Smoke cleanse (Incense, Sage/herb bundles, etc.)

- Water cleanse (Place in running water)

- Bury in the ground overnight

- Other crystals (Selenite)

 Go with what feels right or best for you.

 

Charging

Personally, I do not believe crystals need to be charged. They are powerful and eternal, (they may be broken down into pebbles or sand, but they will never disappear.) the properties they have will shine through no matter if they are charged or not. Ocean doesn't stop moving simply because you did not jump in.

However if you would like to charge them, just be sure to do your research first. Crystals such as Rose Quartz, Fluorite, and more will fade or become brittle if exposed to extended time in the sun.

Here are a few ways to charge include:

- Leaving out in the sun

- Leaving out under the moon

 

Bonding

When

Use

Now that you have a crystal or 20 (the more the merrier) - how do you actually use them?

A lot of this comes down to personal preference. As always go with your gut, and do whatever feels right.

Here are a few ways to use:

- Hold them when you need a little bit of support or reassurance

- Use them as part of your meditation and/or yoga practice

- Pop one in your bra or pocket for all-day support (just remember to take it out before throwing it in the wash!)

- Keep one in your wallet or purse

- Decorate your space/home with them

- Place one under your pillowcase

- Use them as an energy cleanser - this might be your own energy, or your space/home/office/ect.

- Place one or two in your plants soil - water-safe crystals only since you plant need to be watered
