We recommend cleansing and activating your crystals as soon as you get them, to free any energies they may have picked up along the way, and to make them your own.

Attach a strong affirmation to your crystal, giving it meaning beyond its beauty. For an affirmation to be effective, say it out loud in the present tense. For example: "I am successful. I am confident. I am powerful."

Cleanse your crystal by holding it in your dominant hand. Run fresh cool water over it for about 60 seconds. Repeat your affirmation in a clear voice.

Lay your crystal out to dry in the sun, allowing it to charge with positive energy. Let the natural sunlight heat your new crystal to absorb all its energetic power.

Place your crystal in its new home and enjoy the energetic vibe!

You may want to repeat this process occasionally, especially when going through difficult times or when you feel in need of fresh energy.
