Why Cleansing and Charging Your Crystals Is Important
Crystals absorb energies from people, places, emotions, and situations. Over time, this energy can build up and weaken their healing ability.
Cleansing removes:
* Negative energy
* Stagnant or blocked vibrations
* A potent aftertaste from previous use Charging helps:
* Restore the crystal’s natural frequency.
* Amplify its healing properties.
* Coordinate it with your goals. Keeping your crystals cleansed and charged ensures they stay pure, powerful, and effective.

Moonlight (especially full moon) restores calm, intuitive, and healing energy.

Hold your crystal and set your intention through meditation.
