Crystals serve as conduits for mental and spiritual tranquility, with many attributing their metaphysical energies to aiding in physical healing. Just as humans experience periods of depletion, crystals require revitalization to replenish their energies. Cleansing rids crystals of negativity, while charging restores the vitality that renders these stones so grounding and potent. By programming crystals, you can synchronize your energy with theirs, enabling them to assist you in manifesting your aspirations and objectives. With a plethora of cleansing and charging techniques available, we've compiled a comprehensive manual for your perusal. Remember, there's no 'right' or 'wrong' method for charging crystals; opt for the approaches that resonate with your heart, energy, and intentions at present.
This article is based on insights from our spiritual advisor and Reiki master, Emily Christensen, the visionary behind Rainbow Raaja. Explore the complete interview here.
Procedures
Purifying Your Crystals
Revitalize your crystals with flowing water. Just as we cleanse ourselves to rid negativity, running water clears crystals of unwanted energies. Hold your crystals under running water, such as a tap or faucet, for approximately one minute.
Immerse Your Crystals in Saltwater for Healing. This technique facilitates purification akin to how saltwater cleanses cuts. Opt for Himalayan or Celtic salt, submerging your crystals for a few minutes to an hour.
- This method synergizes the elemental powers of water and earth, as salt embodies the essence of earth.
- Avoid using blue/black kyanite, selenite, or hematite as they may dissolve or rust in water.
Enhance Meditation and Contemplation by Placing Crystals on Snow. Fresh snowfall offers a pristine backdrop for connecting with nature. Cleansing your crystals with snow allows them to reset and find serenity. Gather pure snow into a bowl, placing your crystals atop until their energy feels renewed.
- Use only crystals resistant to water damage, avoiding black/blue kyanite, selenite, or hematite.
Ground Your Crystals for Stability by Covering Them with Earth. Earth symbolizes beauty, steadfast transformation, and growth. When seeking solace or reconnection with your body, let your crystals rest in soil. Bury them outside overnight to absorb earth's nurturing energy.
- Crystals attuned to earth energy include red jasper, mookaite jasper, and black tourmaline.
- Avoid burying blue/black kyanite or selenite, which may dissolve in moist soil.
Infuse Your Crystals with Earth Energy Using a Dry Salt Bowl. This method offers an earthy alternative for crystals unsuitable for water or moist ground. Fill a bowl with Himalayan or Celtic salt, ideally placing it outdoors to dispel negative energy. Allow the crystals to sit for 24 hours.
- Enhance the salt bath with herbs like rosemary.
- Consider adding small grounding crystals like hematite.
Purify with Sage or Palo Santo for Sacred Vibes. Harness the purifying essence of ancient traditions with this ritual. Pass each crystal through the smoke, invoking its sacred power to cleanse and release negative energies. Perform the ritual outdoors or ensure proper ventilation indoors.
- Prevent smoke alarms from triggering by performing the ritual outdoors or opening windows.
Harmonize and Energize Your Crystals with Sound. Immerse your crystals in healing music or utilize healing bowls, renowned for their resonant harmonics. Arrange your crystals around the speaker or bowl to absorb the vibrations emitted during the session.
Enhance Clarity and Protection with Selenite. Named after the Greek moon goddess Selene, selenite holds profound ties to lunar cycles and divine femininity. Place your crystals atop a selenite log overnight to imbue them with clarity and protective energies.

Things That Would Absolutely Brighten My Day:
Energizing Your Crystals
Infuse your crystals with serene, intuitive energy under the moonlight. Moonlight exudes a gentle, feminine energy perfect for charging crystals. Place them on a windowsill or outdoors overnight to absorb its calming influence.
- Moonlight charging fosters reflection and healing.
Expose your crystals to the sun for vibrant, active energy. The sun embodies invigorating, masculine energy ideal for charging crystals. Position them near a sunny window or outside to bask in its revitalizing rays.
- For harmonious yin-yang balance, leave the crystals outside for 24 hours to harness both solar and lunar energies.
- Avoid charging rose quartz and amethyst in direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
Maximize the potency of your crystals by placing them outside during an eclipse. Allowing your crystals to absorb the energy of an eclipse or other astrological phenomena enhances their vibrational energies significantly.
Create a Charging Circle to Merge Energies. Align cleansed rock crystals (not tumbled) towards a chosen crystal for charging. Allow the energy exchange between crystals for a minimum of 30 minutes, although longer periods are beneficial.
Energize the Crystals by Rubbing them in Your Hands. Utilize your body warmth to swiftly charge the crystals, establishing a direct connection to their energy. This method fosters a deeper physical bond with the crystal.
Instill Inner Peace in Your Crystals through Reiki. Achieve a meditative state by focusing on your breath and envisioning a radiant white light entering your chakra points. Direct this energy from your palms towards the crystal to imbue it with tranquility.
Programming Your Crystals
Engage Your Receptive Hand to Sense Crystal Energy. Hold a crystal in your non-dominant hand to perceive its energy. Reflect on whether it evokes feelings of calmness or activeness. If it doesn't align with your intention, try another crystal.
- Your non-dominant hand represents receptivity or the lunar aspect.
- Take your time with the process. If you're unable to sense the energy, carry the crystal with you for a few days.
Transfer the crystal to your dominant hand. Your dominant hand, known as the “projective” hand, channels energy into the crystal. This hand embodies active, yang energy associated with the sun.
Visualize your desired manifestation with closed eyes. Engage all five senses to envision your desired reality. Utilizing all senses enables you to create a vibrant mental representation of your desired outcome.
Keep the crystal with you at all times. Both you and the crystal possess energy fields that should harmonize. Wearing or carrying the crystal in your pocket facilitates absorption of the manifested reality's vibration. Consequently, the universe aligns with your emitted vibration and mirrors it back to you.
- Remember, the universe won’t fulfill your manifestations passively. For example, desiring love won’t bring a partner to your doorstep. However, by actively engaging with your crystal, you may encounter new opportunities when meeting new people.
