Hello beautiful spirit , it’s Norma you know forevrgoddess. I wanted to share a mini article on how to cleanse and charge your crystal or gemstone, and few benefit ideas to consider. So grab a cup of tea and let’s begin.
Here is a list of information I offer to my clients that purchase gemstone from my Forevrgoddess boutique. There will be a link below to my boutique in case your curious to know what gemstones I have available for purchase.
Here is a reason you may wish to consider to cleanse and charge your crystal or gemstone. Sometimes our crystals or gemstone travel thru a lot of hands to get to you, from the moment it has come out of the mine it was found, to different travels channels it has travel{ mine workers, vendors, postal workers to you} thru many hands, and depending how the person who pick up your package can have a wide range of emotions or energy. That can cause sometimes a dirty feeling or need of cleanse.
Another reason you may wish to cleanse your crystal or gemstone is because when we use it a lot with our various lifestyle or situations in life we need to cleanse our gemstone or crystal. I have noticed when I work with my crystal quartz if I use a lot of its energy, or been around toxic energy my crystal will absorb it’s surrounding energy and turn my crystal dark or dirty. Trust me this easy fix, all you have to wash your crystal under running water, I sometimes to use soap just to clean the outside from any oil from my skin, esp. if I had meditate with it or carried in my bra, in a pouch. So please consider cleansing your crystal or gemstone.
The benefits of cleansing your crystal or gemstone, you cleanse it so the stone will connect with your energy and it also removes the stagnant or negative energy from its journey to get to your home and in your hands. I feel each crystal or gemstone has purpose we can benefit from even a small piece of stone can help us. Here’s example green aventurine can bring good luck, abundance and help with prosperity. It also connects us with our heart chakra which help learn to accept love and heal any heartache.
Please note some of gemstones cannot be put into water to cleanse or charge. { stone like selenite cannot, be put into water or it will melt}
Some people feel the energy of the Stone, when they purchase it. And others feel as though it need a cleansing. There are many ways of doing so; there is no wrong or right way of doing so.
Here are some ideas to consider…
- Cleanse under running water, kitchen or bathroom sink. we have small creek next to my home, I use a little organza bag hold firmly, place into moving water. let the water wash over gemstone or crystal for 1-3 minutes.
- Cleanse using smudge ritual take white sage bundle, Palo Santo or any other smudging herb pass over the smoke or push the smoke to the stone. You can do it for few minutes is fine.
- Pass over incense that burning {any kind will do, my favorite is Lavender or sage }
- Pass over a candle flame.
- Put in small bowl of salt for 5-10 minutes
- Put in small bowl of dirt or potted plant for 5-10 minutes
- Moonlight or sunlight I do both since it charge them with both sunlight and moonlight so it always charged. Plus note gemstone citrine or amethyst can fade in long periods in sunlight light. 10 minutes for sunlight ,perfect unless you want longer it’s your choice.
- Placing it on your personal altar for a short time. Ask your patron deity to cleanse it.
- Meditation, and visualizing the Crystal / Stone , cleanse and encircled positive energy
Once you feel your gemstone or crystal is ready and cleanse let’s charge with intent your gemstone of choice.
Charging/ Blessing your crystal or Gemstone…
Charge/ bless with intention
when charging, blessing, or programming, you gemstone, keep in mind the goal or desire you wish to bring into your life. Help manifest this desire to life, say a prayer to your Goddess, God, Angels, Elementals, ask them for their support to bless this new path you wish to journey on. Keep them in your pocket, bra, purse or coin pocket as reminder what healing qualities you wish to be blessed at moment .
Remember to cleanse your crystal or gemstone, they may appear dirty after a while esp. if you in negative areas or situations in life. 1 month is fine or 1 week if you expose to more negative energy than usual . They may need a simple cleanse running water does the trick every time or you can put in bowl of water near window to charge by moonlight and sun. Please note : citrine and amethyst can fade if long time spend in the sunshine. 10 minutes for either is fine in sunlight.
Benefits of charging the gemstone. If you charge it yourself, which anyone can do it. You blessing or charging the stone for you’re a specific reason { love, abundance, happiness etc.} you can also bless a stone for friend who is sad. Or bless a stone for yourself to give you energy to handle your errands or work for the day. When you carry the stone with you in bra in pouch, pocket or purse it help you remember why you have chosen this stone for your need at this moment. You can also add more than 1 stone your pouch or pocket. Trust me I carry at least 2 in pouch. Do what you feel is necessary, there is no right or wrong .
Keeping any of these gemstone can bring positive energy within yourself , sacred space, or home.
To charge/ bless your Crystal/ stone, some of the items listed above will work for charging.
It helps if you ground and center, (exp. calming one’s mind and focusing on the magical work to be done) Here’s a few…
- Leave sun light or Moonlight for a short time
- Place on your personal altar
- Say a simple prayer to your patron deity, while holding the Crystal/ Stone;
- ask for blessings to the Crystal/Stone By encircling with positive light or energy
- Charge with the 4 elements blessing :
4 elemental blessing, Air: pass through incense (your choice),
Fire: pass over a lit candle
(Use white, Lavender, or lite blue, since it covers all peaceful and positive energy),
Water: dip or sprinkle with blessed or spring water on the Crystal/ Stone
Earth: you place your Crystal/ Stone in a bowl of dirt or sand, for a short time,
Surround it with crystal and other semi-precious stones. You’ll need a soft cloth to clean it.
And now once you have done a cleansing and charging or blessings your crystal or gemstone of choice. It’s all ready to go. May your stone be blessed with white light of joy, love and abundance.
