We wanted to share with you how to cleanse and re-energize your crystals and explain why it’s so important. Each full moon brings with it so much energy and your gems can harness this. Believe it or not, but your crystals hold on to the energy they take in from you and their environment. Try and get into a ritual of purifying their vibrations on a regular basis.

There are many different methods that healers use to cleanse their gems. Our preferred way we will share with you uses water and involves the full moon. This will give them a deep energy cleaning. When you have a relaxing soak with your candles and bath salts you feel amazing and refreshed. Same sort of concept. For us to function at our optimum level we need to take care of ourselves constantly.

You want to ensure your crystals are in the best shape to provide you with their healing properties. When the moon is full and at her brightest, it is the most powerful time to release the energy that is no longer serving you. Gather your jewels and gently wash them in purified water the day prior to the full moon. You can listen to peaceful music and repeat a personal mantra while washing them. It will ground you in the moment and keep your feminine energy strong. You may gently repeat a phrase in your mind. The repeating of your mantra/chanting is totally optional of course!

Once all of your gems have been washed and dried, place them on the earth for their full moon bath. If you are unable to place them directly on the ground, any natural surface will suffice. The following day let them charge with the sunrise for an hour or two before collecting them to come inside again. Many crystals like Amethyst, Aquamarine, Citrine, Fluorite, Rose Quartz and Smoky Quartz, for example, will fade in direct sunlight so be cautious not to leave them out during the day for an extended period.

Now the Moon and Sun have shared their energy with your crystals it’s now your time to charge them with your intentions. Charging them with your intentions helps them stay focused. After you have charged them it is best not to let others handle them as they will absorb their energy. Unless you have specifically charged your crystals for another person.

You can charge all of your crystals at once by imagining them soaked in healing energy. They can also be charged individually or in groups. It’s really up to you, there is no right or wrong way to charge them, let your intuition be your guide.

Now it’s time to close the cleansing and charging ritual with a thank you prayer. Simply thank Mother Earth for the ways in which she supports all life and your gems for all the work they do and will do for you. Acknowledge all of the elements that came together to create these healing tools to seal in their healing vibrations and remind us of what matters most in our hearts.

We can accept custom orders on specific jewellery if we have the stock to do so. Please send us an enquiry with your request and we will do our best to accommodate you.
