Crystals have served as symbols of energy, harmony, and spiritual growth for millennia. One of the beloved practices in the crystal world is charging crystals during the full moon.

This practice stems from the belief that the moon carries powerful energy that can charge crystals. But why is this important and how do we do it?

Why Charge Crystals During the Full Moon?

1. Energy Renewal:
Crystals can gradually lose their energy. Charging them during the full moon allows them to restore their lost energy and enhance their vibrations.

2. Clearing Negative Energy:
The moon is considered a natural energy cleanser. When we expose crystals to moonlight, they can release accumulated negative energies.

3. Harmony:
The full moon helps balance the energy within crystals, contributing to harmony and spiritual equilibrium when using them.

How to Charge Crystals During the Full Moon?

Step 1: Preparing Your Crystals

Cleansing:
Before charging, it's important to first cleanse your crystals. At Your Soul Time, we most recommend doing this with incense.

Simply "smudge" the crystals by passing them through the smoke. This will clear old energies and prepare them for charging.

Intention:
While cleansing your crystals, focus on their purpose. For example, do you want them to bring peace, love, protection, or clarity?

Step 2: Expose Them to Lunar Energy

Place Them by a Window or Outside:
Place your crystals on a windowsill or outdoors where they'll be closest to the moonlight.

Intention and Request:
As you place your crystals, reaffirm their purpose and send your intentions for them to be charged with lunar energy.

Step 3: Leave the Crystals Overnight

Allow your crystals to rest and absorb the full moon's energy overnight. This gives them enough time to fully charge.

Step 4: Awakening and Gratitude

In the morning, collect your crystals and express gratitude for their energy and wisdom.

You can also perform a meditation ritual or simply reflect on how you'll use their renewed energies.

Step 5: Using Your Crystals

Use your charged crystals in meditation, for personal protection, or to enhance positive vibrations in your space.

Conclusion

Charging crystals during the full moon is a practice used for cleansing, recharging, and harmonizing crystals. This ritual can deepen our connection with lunar energy and help us better understand and work with our crystals' energies.

Through this practice, we can also learn more about ourselves and our connection to the universe and Earth's natural rhythms and cycles. There's nothing more beautiful than such rituals.
