6 Ways to Charge Your Crystals

Crystals have long been revered for their ability to store and transmit energy, making them a valuable tool for personal growth and spiritual exploration. But have you ever wondered how to charge these beautiful gems to maximize their potential?

When a crystal is charged, it is believed to awaken its inherent energy and potential. Some people consider crystals to be dormant until they are activated or charged, allowing them to radiate their energy more effectively. Here are six ways you can charge up your crystals:


  • Sunlight and Moonlight
  • Harnessing the power of sunlight and moonlight is a simple and effective way to charge your crystals. Place your crystals in a spot where they can bask in direct sunlight or moonlight for several hours. The Sun's energy infuses them with vitality and strength, while the Moon's gentle glow brings serenity and intuition. Full Moons are best when charging your crystals in the moonlight.


  • Earth Connection
  • Crystals come from the Earth, so it's only natural that they can draw energy from their origins. Burying your crystals in the ground for a day or two allows them to connect with the Earth's electromagnetic field and absorb its grounding energy. When you retrieve them, they will be recharged and ready to support your intentions.


  • Sound Bath
  • Sound is a powerful tool for cleansing and charging crystals. You can immerse your crystals in the vibrations of sound by using singing bowls, tuning forks, or even a carefully selected playlist of high-frequency music. The sound waves will help clear any stagnant energy and recharge the crystals with fresh vitality.


  • Visualization and Intention
  • Our thoughts have the power to shape reality, and crystals respond to our intentions. Hold your crystal in your hands and visualize it being bathed in a bright, pure light. Focus on the specific intentions you want to infuse into the crystal, such as love, healing, or abundance. Your thoughts and intentions will transfer energy to the crystal, charging it with your desired purpose.


  • Salt
  • Salt is believed to have a balancing effect on energies. It can help restore the energetic balance of crystals by neutralizing any imbalances or disruptions in their energy fields. This can result in the crystals functioning more effectively and harmoniously. Crystals are social beings and often thrive when they are surrounded by their kin. Placing your crystals on a larger crystal cluster, such as an amethyst or quartz geode, can amplify their energy. The cluster acts as a charging station, magnifying and purifying the vibrations of the individual crystals.


  • Elemental Cleansing
  • The elements of nature can cleanse and recharge crystals effectively. You can immerse your crystals in a bowl of natural water, such as spring water or sea saltwater, to wash away any accumulated energies. Be sure to check on whether your crystal can be submerged in water or not. Some crystals don’t respond well to water. For a purifying fire charge, carefully pass your crystals through the smoke of  palo santo, or incense.


    There are so many ways to charge your crystals! Find what works for you, have fun and go with it! Blessed be!
