Healing stones energetically cleanse and recharge: A guide for spiritual and energetic care:
Healing stones are not only beautiful companions, but are also often valued for their energetic properties and their effects. In order to use the full power and positive energy of these healing stones, it is important to cleanse and recharge them energetically on a regular basis. In this blog post we will introduce you to various methods on how you can energetically cleanse and charge your healing stones in order to feel their full effect. The energetic cleansing and charging of healing stones is essential to connect you energetically with your healing stones.
Why is it important to cleanse and charge healing stones?
Healing stones have the ability to store and absorb energies. When you wear a healing stone or place it in your environment, it can absorb not only positive but also negative energies. Over time, these energies accumulate in your healing stone, influencing the stone's own energy and impairing its effect, which we want to use for ourselves. By regularly cleaning and charging you can free your healing stone from unwanted energies and restore its energetic effect. Here you can choose a method for cleaning and a method for charging your healing stone:
Step 1: The energetic cleansing of healing stones:
Methods for Cleansing Healing Stones:
Pure water: Hold your healing stone under running, lukewarm water for approx. 30-60 seconds and visualize how all negative energies are washed away. Flowing waters from nature, such as springs, streams or rivers, are also well suited for this cleaning method. Proceed here in the same way as if you were to hold your healing stone under a tap. Then dry your healing stone with a towel. Please note: Crystal jewelry should not come into contact with water as many metals can oxidize in jewelry making and water can affect the shine and integrity of the jewelry. Necklaces and bracelets that are strung on threads should also not be cleaned with water as the thread could break. Instead, gently wipe jewelry made from healing stones with a damp cloth. Please also note that certain healing stones (e.g. pyrite, selenite) must not come into contact with water. Instead, use one of the other methods of energetic cleansing for these healing stones.
Salt bath: For this you use a bowl made of clay, glass or porcelain. Then fill this bowl/bowl with salt. It's best to use sea or rock salt for this. Then place a slightly smaller bowl/bowl made of similar material as the first bowl/bowl on top of this salt. Place your healing stone in the second bowl/bowl for about 20 minutes. You can also leave out the 2nd bowl/bowl and place your healing stones directly in the bowl/bowl with salt. Please make sure that not every healing stone (e.g. pyrite, selenite, labradorite) can be placed directly on salt.
Smoke cleaning: Smoking is suitable for all types of stone. Hold your healing stone over the rising smoke of sacred wood such as sage, cedarwood or Palo Santo for approximately 30-60 seconds. Instead of holding your healing stone over the smoke, you can, for example, take your incense (sage, cedar wood or Palo Santo) and make circular movements (approx. 30-60 seconds) around your healing stone. The smoke cleanses the energy of the healing stone and brings it into a neutral state.
Sound bowl: This cleaning method is also suitable for all types of stone. Play sound bowls or other harmonic instruments near your healing stone. Place your healing stone in or next to a sound bowl or hold it above it. Strike the sound bowl several times or rub the clapper of the sound bowl on the edge of the sound bowl for a few minutes so that the vibrations of the sounds can absorb the adhesion of the healing stone. The vibrations can liberate and cleanse your healing stone energetically.
No matter which method of energetic cleansing you choose, it is important that after cleansing you briefly hold your healing stone in your hand and speak your intention (where your healing stone should support you) into the healing stone in order to connect with it energetically . You can either thank your healing stone with a sentence or ask it to attract a specific thing/situation/change etc. into your life with a sentence.
Step 2: The energetic charging of healing stones:
Methods for charging healing stones:
Sunlight: After energetic cleansing, place your healing stone in direct sunlight for about 30 minutes. The energy of sunlight can neutralize negative vibrations and thus charge your healing stone. Please make sure that not every healing stone (e.g. rose quartz, amethyst, clear quartz, tourmaline, aventurine) can be charged in sunlight, as some healing stones can fade or bleach in direct sunlight.
Moonlight: After energetic cleansing, place your healing stone on your windowsill, balcony, terrace or directly in the garden overnight. The next morning, preferably before sunrise, take your healing stone from the windowsill/balcony/terrace/garden. The energy of moonlight can also neutralize negative vibrations and thus charge your healing stone.
Grounding: After energetic cleansing, bury your healing stone in the earth for approx. 2-3 hours. This connects your healing stone with the energy of the earth and charges it energetically.
Clear Quartz crystal clusters: Clear quartz have the ability to amplify and neutralize energies and thus charge healing stones. After energetic cleansing, place your healing stone on a clear quartz cluster or in a bowl/bowl with clear quartz crystals to charge it energetically.
Meditation: Sit in a meditative position with your healing stone after energetic cleansing. Hold your healing stone in your hand or place it in front of you. Visualize the positive energy flowing into your healing stone and charging it. You can do this for about 5 minutes.
Body heat: Heat gives your healing stone new energy because this creates electromagnetic radiation with which your healing stone sends its own information to the environment. Hold your healing stone in your hands for about 1-2 minutes or rub your healing stone between your palms. Instead of rubbing, you can also blow on your healing stone in your hands. To do this, use short, sharp breaths.
Listen to your gut feeling and choose the methods that work best for you and your healing stone. By regularly cleaning and charging you can ensure that your healing stone can develop its full energetic power. The frequency of energetic cleansing and charging also happens quite intuitively, without a fixed, temporal rhythm.
