How to charge Crystals
source mindbodygreen.com
🔮 Why you need to charge them
Crystals tend to hold on to the energy they're exposed to—which isn't always a good thing. If you're using a crystal for protection energy, for example, that stone is absorbing the energy it's protecting you from.
That's why it's important to get rid of any negative energy your crystal has accumulated as needed. It needs to be refueled, just like our energy needs to be refueled by sleeping every night.
Part of charging your crystal is clearing its energetic slate—hence why some people refer to charging crystals as "clearing" them. From there, it's about filling your crystal back up, often with grounding energy that comes from places in nature: the moon, the soil, water, etc.
🔮 How to pick the best method
Building an intuitive relationship is really important because there's an intimacy with your crystals.
No charging method is better than another. Just be mindful of your specific crystal and whether it does OK in water or salt, as some will not take well to those. (More on that later.)
SOME METHODS
🌝 1. The full moon
The full moon is a powerful point in the lunar cycle, and it works wonders for clearing and charging your favorite crystals, too.
All you have to do is place the crystal outside on the ground, overnight on the night of the full moon, to charge it with lunar energy. Even a windowsill inside that gets moonlight will do!
Works with all types of crystals. (Most popular)
🌙 2. Moon water
For another moon-related crystal charging option, you can make your own moon water. You can place your crystals in this lunar-powered water for around an hour, or pour the moon water over your crystal.
Check if the crystal tolerates getting wet.
🌱 3. The ground
Dig a small hole where you would like to bury your stone, placing the soil you have removed into an earthenware pot or jar, bury the crystal in the soil within the pot or jar. Then, lower the pot into the hole and cover it with the remaining soil. Mark your crystal with a flag or some other marker, and leave the stone buried for at least one week. This will help charge your stone with the powerful properties of the ground it came from.
🎶 4. Sound
Sound can be a powerful tool when it comes to shifting frequencies. Place them in a singing bowl and ring it.
💨 5. Burn incense or herbs
To cleanse your stones by burning sacred herbs, pass your stones through the smoke (such as sage, sweetgrass, Palo Santo, or cedar) or incense (such as sandalwood, lavender, or jasmine) for approximately two to three minutes.
🧂 6. Salt
You can also use salt (preferably sea salt) for charging your crystals. Simply place your stone in salt and let it sit overnight.
Check the hardness of the Crystal. Softer stones like turquoise, opal, and calcite can scratch easily.
🌬️ 7. Your own breath
Your breath can also be used for clearing crystals. To clear a stone using your breath, you must first clear your mind of any outside thoughts, then, hold the crystal in one hand and breathe out forcefully while quickly waving your other hand over the crystal.
🎋 8. Your spirit guide
If you work with any spiritual guides or deities, you can connect your crystals with them. Whether through prayer or meditation, you can take a moment to ask your guides to connect to your crystals and your intention for them.
👁️ 9. Cleansing visualization
And lastly, using a visualization technique to charge your stone: Picture universal, healing light filling your crystal up until all the old energy has been dissolved.
See the light expand until it surrounds the stone and fills your hands. Intend that all negativity be removed from the stone and dissolved, when you intuitively feel that the stone has been cleared, you may stop the visualization.
🔮 Tips
Charging crystals doesn't have to be a complicated business, but if you're just getting started, here are some tips to keep in mind:
Know whether your crystals can tolerate salt or water. A few common crystals that are fine with water are varieties of quartz, amethyst, agate, moonstone, and citrine. When in doubt, opt for a different clearing technique.
Know which element the crystal is associated with. Look up the properties of each crystal and see what they are rooted in. For example, malachite is associated with Earth, so charging it in the ground by burying it makes sense.
Because crystals can pass through many hands before they wind up in yours, it's always a good idea to clear them as soon as you get them home from the shop. You never know what kind of energy they may be holding!

Stop talking yourself out of opportunities because you don’t feel like you’re “ready” yet. It’s time. You’re ready now.

“What if Chrissy had lived and started hanging out with Eddie?” headcanons (feat. everyone’s favorite uncle, Wayne Munson) Part 1
-Chrissy is saved from getting Vecna’d by Eddie blasting the stereo to try to rouse her from her trance, and once he gets her calmed down enough to let go of him, they sit on his couch and share a joint to calm down
-Both open up about their respective problems (Eddie with school and Chrissy with her parents) and they each come to realize that the other isn’t at all as they expected them to be, and there’s something nice about that. Both secretly think they would like to hang out more in the future, but neither one says anything.
-Wayne Munson returns home from the plant at 10:30 to find his nephew curled up in the couch with a Hawkins High School cheerleader’s head on his shoulder. Both are fast asleep and breathing gently.
-He rouses Eddie, who immediately rouses the cheerleader, and Wayne watches them both scramble to get up and check the time
-Chrissy panics because she has to be home for her curfew in 15 minutes, but Eddie throws his Dio jacket on and says he can get her there in 10
-As she leaves, Chrissy stops and shakes hands with Wayne, with Eddie yelling over his shoulder, “Wayne, this is Chrissy, she’s uh—a friend”
-Wayne thinks he sees a slight blush spread over the girl’s cheeks when Eddie calls her his friend
-As Eddie moves to exit the trailer after Chrissy, Wayne says “Eddie”, and he freezes, knowing the “boy, what did I tell you about bringing girls round here?” lecture is coming
-But Wayne just hesitates, then says gently “she seems real nice” and Eddie swears he hears a hint of pride in his uncle’s voice
-Eddie stammers out a “Yeah. Yeah, she is.” and tries to keep the smile that’s twitching at the corners of his lips at bay
-“One more thing” Wayne says as Eddie turns to leave, and Eddie knows he’s getting the lecture now
-“Wear a condom, son, this trailer’s cramped enough with just the two of us.” Wayne says simply, and claps Eddie on the back as the latter stands in shock in the doorway
