How to Charge Your Crystals for Healing and Manifestation
If you are new to the world of crystals, you might be wondering how to use them effectively for your healing and manifestation goals. One of the most important steps is to charge your crystals regularly, which means to cleanse them of any negative or stagnant energy and infuse them with positive and vibrant energy.
Charging your crystals is not only essential for maintaining their optimal performance, but also for creating a stronger connection between you and your crystals. When you charge your crystals, you are also aligning your own energy with theirs, which can enhance your intuition, creativity, and well-being.
Fun Fact: Crystals have been used for thousands of years by ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Greeks and believed crystals had magical properties. Cleopatra was said to wear lapis lazuli for protection and wisdom, while the Greeks believed amethyst could prevent intoxication!
There are many ways to charge your crystals, but here are some of the most popular and easy methods that you can try at home:
Sunlight and Moonlight
One of the simplest and most natural ways to charge your crystals is to expose them to sunlight or moonlight.
Sunlight is great for energizing and activating your crystals, especially those that are associated with the solar plexus chakra, such as citrine, tiger’s eye, and pyrite. Moonlight is ideal for soothing and balancing your crystals, especially those that are linked to the lunar cycles, such as moonstone, selenite, and labradorite.
To charge your crystals with sunlight or moonlight, simply place them on a windowsill, a balcony, or a garden where they can receive direct or indirect rays. Be careful not to leave your crystals in the sun for too long, as some of them might fade or crack due to the heat; a few hours or overnight is usually enough. The same applies to your favorite handmade bracelets that feature healing stones—give them a little sunbath!

Earth
Another natural way to charge your crystals is to bury them in the earth.
This method is perfect for grounding and stabilizing your crystals, especially those that are related to the root chakra, such as hematite, smoky quartz, and black tourmaline. The earth can also help to remove any unwanted or harmful energies from your crystals and replace them with fresh and pure energy.
To charge your crystals with the earth, you can either dig a small hole in your backyard or use a pot of soil or sand. Make sure to mark the spot where you buried your crystals so you can find them later. You can also wrap your crystals in a cloth or paper before burying them to protect them from dirt and moisture. Leave your crystals in the earth for at least 24 hours or up to a week, depending on how much cleansing and charging they need.
Sound
Sound is another powerful way to charge your crystals, as it can create vibrations that can resonate with your crystals and enhance their frequency.
Sound can also help to clear any blockages or negativity from your crystals and restore their harmony and balance. You can use any kind of sound that you like, such as music, singing, chanting, or instruments, but some of the most effective ones are:
Crystal singing bowls: These are bowls made of quartz crystal that produce pure and soothing tones when struck or rubbed. They are ideal for charging your crystals, as they can match their vibration and amplify their energy. To charge your crystals with crystal singing bowls, simply place them inside or around the bowl and play it gently for a few minutes. You can also use different bowls that correspond to different chakras and crystals for a more specific and targeted charging.
Tuning forks: These are metal tools that emit a single note when tapped. They are great for charging your crystals, as they can create a focused and precise vibration that can penetrate your crystals and align their energy. To charge your crystals with tuning forks, simply hold them near your crystals and strike them softly for a few seconds. You can also use different forks that have different frequencies and purposes for a more customized and intentional charging.
Reiki
Reiki is a form of energy healing that involves channeling universal life force energy through your hands and into your crystals.
Reiki can help to charge your crystals, as it can infuse them with healing and loving energy that can support your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Reiki can also help to activate and program your crystals for specific purposes, such as protection, abundance, or love.
To charge your crystals with Reiki, you need to be attuned to Reiki by a Reiki master. Once you are attuned, you can simply hold your crystals in your hands and intend to send Reiki energy to them. You can also use Reiki symbols to enhance the flow and quality of the energy. You can charge your crystals with Reiki for as long as you feel guided, usually from a few minutes to half an hour.
Fun Fact: Crystal Quartz is the master healer of the mineral world and is one of the most versatile crystals, known for amplifying energy, intention, or mantra. It’s piezoelectric, meaning it can transform mechanical pressure into electricity, which is why it's used in watches and electronics!
How to Know When Your Crystals Are Charged
There is no definitive way to tell when your crystals are fully charged, as different crystals may have different needs and responses. However, some of the signs that your crystals are charged are:
They look brighter, shinier, or more colorful
They feel warmer, lighter, or more alive
They emit a stronger or more noticeable aura or energy field
They give you a sense of joy, peace, or gratitude
They intuitively communicate with you or give you a message
You can also use your own intuition to ask your crystals if they are charged or not. If you get a yes, then you can stop charging them and start using them. If you get a no, then you can continue charging them until they are ready.
How Often to Charge Your Crystals
The frequency of charging your crystals depends on how often and how intensely you use them.
Generally, you should charge your crystals at least once a month, preferably during the new moon or the full moon, as these are times of high energy and potential. You can also charge your crystals whenever you feel that they are dull, heavy, or drained, or whenever you want to boost their power and effectiveness.
