Charging Crystals

So you recently got your Crystal from this funny and cute Chinese Tiktok seller, and that’s when you realized that alot of Crystal people at Tiktok are sayin’ that crystals needs to be charged, what the heck is that? Well, charging crystals under moonlight and sunlight is a practice that taps into the natural energies of these celestial bodies, rejuvenating and amplifying the healing properties of these precious stones. Whether you prefer the soothing, introspective energy of the moon or the vibrant, revitalizing energy of the sun, regular charging will help maintain your crystals’ potency and support your energetic and spiritual work. Here’s how to do this thingy: Under the moonlight- first off you need to check the lunar calendar, technically charging your crystal under a full moon brings out the full lunar energy and directs that to your crystal for full potency. One thing to remember though before charging your crystal, you need to get rid of all or any negative residual energy, you can simply do this by placing your crystal under running water such as your faucet, or if you live by the river, quickly dip your crystal, there are also other two methods that you can use to cleanse your crystal, one is to use a sage incense, and wrap the smoke all through out your crystal and the other is to use healing systems like the “singing bowl” that produces this intricate sounds which your crystal will innately absorb. Choose a good location for your crystal, the more direct exposure, the better. Usually placing it outside or by the rooftop away from your outdoor pets is a good option, even by the windowsill as long as it can directly absorb the energy from the moon. One thing to remember though as you charge your crystal under the moonlight, set your intentions-what you want to accomplish and your wishes. As for charging under the sunlight, charge your crystal in the early morning before the heat intensifies. Find a good spot where there’s direct exposure, but keep a watchful eye as you don’t want the sun to damage your crystal. From time to time feel your crystal out, make sure that it’s not too hot. Like charging under the moonlight you need to cleanse the crystal first and set your intentions. Crystals that are normally charged under the moonlights are Amethyst, Selenite and Moonstone while under the sunlight the recommended crystals are Citrine, Clear Quartz and Sunstone. For a comprehensive recharge, some practitioners combine both methods, allowing their crystals to absorb the balanced energies of both moonlight and sunlight. This dual charging process is thought to harmonize the energies within the crystals, providing a holistic rejuvenation. Final note, it’s important to monitor your crystals from time to time particularly if you’re doing the sunlight method. Water soluble crystals like Selenite should not be cleansed under running water, and also quartz and amethyst can fade under strong exposure to sunlight.
