The Hows and Whys of Crystal Medicine #5 of 7: How to Choose, Cleanse, and Energize Your Crystals



Each variety of crystal has a unique energy and vibration which is used to balance and harmonize the energy centers in the body.






These properties have been utilized for centuries for their healing potential. It is important to choose the right crystals. Although it is fun it can be overwhelming, as there are so many options available. No worries. You are now about to learn the most important factors to consider when choosing crystals, tips for selecting the right crystals for specific purposes, and methods to cleanse and energize your crystals.


Factors to Consider When Choosing Crystals:

  1. The first factor to consider when choosing crystals is your intention. Be clear about what you want to use the crystal for. Different crystals have different properties and energies. Selecting crystals that align with your intention is crucial.

  2. The color of a crystal can give you an indication of its properties. Such as red crystals are associated with passion and fire, while blue crystals are associated with communication and intuition. You may find that you are drawn to specific colors. This could indicate that these color associations are where you are blocked.

  3. The shape of a crystal can also affect its energy. Points are said to have direct energy, while spheres radiate energy in all directions.



Tips for Selecting the Right Crystals for Specific Purposes:

  1. Research the properties of various crystals to determine which one is best suited for your intention. Below is a list of our favorite books to provide this information.

  2. Trust your intuition when choosing crystals. When you hold a crystal, pay attention to how it makes you feel. If you feel a special draw to it, consider that it is the right one for you.

  3. Choose a crystal that you feel a personal connection with. It's important that the crystal you choose is one that resonates with you. It's usually the first one you are drawn to. You may also find that you are drawn to a particular color of crystal. This could indicate a chakra that needs addressing.



Methods to Cleanse and Energize Crystals:

  1. One of the simplest ways to cleanse a crystal is to hold it under running water. If you have a chance to visit a running stream, river, or access to well water be sure to take your crystals for a cleaning. Remember to dry your crystals thoroughly.

  2. Smoke cleansing, known more commonly as smudging is usually done with white sage or palo santo to cleanse and purify the energy of a space or objects. Smudging is a great method to cleanse your crystals. Simply hold your crystals in the smoke for a few minutes to cleanse and energize them.

  3. Placing your crystals in sunlight or moonlight is another option for cleansing and energizing them. Place your crystals outside for a few hours or on a window sill. This is great on a full moon. Leaving them for 24 hours gives them a full dose of both lights.

  4. Sound, such as using a singing bowl or tuning fork, can help to clear negative energy from your crystals. Simply hold your crystals in for a few minutes in the sound vibrations to cleanse and energize them.

  5. Other crystals, there are specific crystals that can be used to cleanse and energize other crystals
