| How to Cleanse and Charge Crystals Posted: 23 Oct 2021 05:00 PM PDT People use crystals to find mental and spiritual peace, and many believe spiritual energy within crystals can help with physical healing. Just like you might feel drained from time to time, crystals need to recharge and replenish their energy, too. Cleansing crystals washes away negativity, and charging them refills the force that makes these stones so grounding and powerful. Programming crystals allows you to align your energy with theirs so they can help you work towards your visions and goals. There's an abundance of cleansing and charging methods out there, so we've created a comprehensive guide for you. As you read on, understand there's no "wrong" or "best" way to charge your crystals, so choose the methods that resonate with your heart, energy, and intentions today. [Edit]Cleansing Your Crystals - Use running water to refresh your crystals. Just like we shower or bathe to wash off negative energy, washing crystals allows negativity to flow into the water and run down the drain. Hold your crystals under any kind of running water (even your sink tap) for about a minute.[1][2]
- Submerge your crystals in salt water for healing. This method promotes cleansing the same way that salt water promotes cleansing for cuts.[3]Use Himalayan salt or Celtic salt, and soak your crystals for a few minutes to an hour.
- This method also combines the elemental forces of water and earth, since salt is considered a pure form of earth.
- Don't do this with blue/black kyanite, or selenite since they'll dissolve in water. Similarly, hematite will rust in water.[4]
- Place your crystals on snow to promote meditation and reflection. When fresh snow falls over the earth, it creates a beautiful blank canvas for nature. Cleaning your crystals with snow allows them to reset and find stillness. If you're fortunate enough to have access to snow, gather some pure snow into a bowl. Set your crystals on top of the snow and let them soak in until you sense their energy has been refreshed.[5]
- Only use crystals that will not dissolve or rust in water. Don't use black/blue kyanite, selenite, or hematite.
- Cover your crystals with earth for stability. Earth is an element of beauty, steady change, and growth. When you're feeling a little anxious or need to reconnect with your body, let your crystals rest in the soil. Bury them outside in the dirt and leave them overnight.[6]
- Crystals that resonate with earth energy include red jasper, mookaite jasper, and black tourmaline.[7]
- Don't bury blue/black kyanite or selenite because those crystals may dissolve from the moisture in the ground.
- Submerge your crystals in a bowl of dry salt for earth energy. This is a great earth energy alternative for crystals that can't be submerged in salt water or moist ground. Fill a bowl with Himalayan or Celtic salt. If possible, take the bowl out of your house to leave behind any negative energy. Let the crystals sit for 24 hours.[8][9]
- Feel free to add herbs like rosemary to the salt bath.[10]
- You can also small clearing/grounding crystals like hematite.[11]
- Burn sage or Palo Santo for sacred energy. Tap into an ancient purifying tradition with this method. Simply hold each crystal and pass it over the smoke several times until you feel the negative energy lift.[12] As you perform the ritual, ask the sacred smoke to clear the crystals of their energy. Likewise, ask the crystals to release the energy they're holding.[13]
- Perform this ritual outside or open your windows to prevent your smoke alarm from going off.
- Purify and charge your crystals simultaneously with sound. Play healing music (you can find crystal cleansing compilations online) or use healing bowls. Healing bowls are special instruments that produce powerful resonant harmonics when played. Set your crystals in an arc around the speaker or healing bowl so they can absorb the vibration as you play the music.[14]
- Lay your crystals on a slab of selenite for clarity and protection. Selenite is a powerful crystal named after the Greek moon goddess Selene. As a result, it has strong connections to lunar cycles and divine femininity.[15] Set a selenite log on a flat surface and let your crystals sit on the selenite log overnight.[16]
[Edit]Charging Your Crystals - Set your crystals in the moonlight for calm, intuitive energy. Moonlight gives off a soft, feminine energy. Allow your crystals to charge by setting them on a windowsill or leaving them outside overnight.[17]
- Charging crystals in moonlight is great for reflection and healing.[18]
- Place the crystals in the sunlight for active energy. The sun represents invigorating, masculine energy. Simply set your crystals by a sunny window or outside where they'll be exposed to the vibrant rays.[19][20]
- For balanced yin-yang energy, place the crystals outside for 24 hours to experience both sun and moon forces.
- Do not charge rose quartz and amethyst in the sun. The sun can fade their color.[21]
- Set your crystals outside during an eclipse for power. Allowing your crystals to soak up the energy of an eclipse (or another astrological event) is an incredibly strong way to charge them. This method will magnify their energies.[22]
- Make a charging circle to connect multiple energies. Point cleansed rock crystals (not tumbled crystals) towards one specific crystal you'd like to charge. You can leave the crystal charging for as long as you'd like, but let it connect to the other crystals' energy for at least 30 minutes.[23]
- Rub the crystals in your hands to charge them quickly. Using your body heat to charge your crystals is a direct, easy way to activate their energy. Plus, you get to build and deepen your physical connection to the crystal.[24]
- Charge your crystals with reiki for inner peace. Find a deep meditative state by closing your eyes and focusing on your breathing.[25] Picture a bright white light flowing into all the chakra points of your body. Point your palms towards the crystal and direct that energy towards the stone.[26]
[Edit]Programming Your Crystals - Hold one crystal in your non-dominant hand. Putting the crystal into your "receptive" hand will allow you to sense its energy. Keep it in your palm for a few minutes and ask yourself: "Does this make me feel calm or active?" If the crystal's energy doesn't match the intention you'd like to set, try another crystal.[27]
- The non-dominant hand is your receptive "yin" or moon hand.
- Don't rush the process. If you can't sense the energy, carry the crystal around for a few days.
- Switch the crystal into your dominant hand. Your dominant hand is your "projective" hand, which sends energy into the crystal. That hand contains active "yang" sun energy.[28]
- Close your eyes and visualize what you want to manifest. Use all five senses to imagine what you want in your life. Activating all five senses allows you to create a vivid new concept of what reality could be.[29]
- Carry the crystal with you. You and your crystal both have an energy field, and you want to let those fields resonate. Wearing the crystal or putting it into your pocket allows you to absorb the vibration of the reality you manifested in the crystal. In turn, the universe will match the vibration you're putting back out and return it to you.[30]
- Just remember, the universe won't make your manifestations a reality on its own. For instance, if you're hoping to find love, the universe won't send a significant other to your door. However, if you go out and meet new people with your crystal, you might encounter new opportunities.[31]

| How to Cheer Up a Friend Who Lives Far Away Posted: 23 Oct 2021 09:00 AM PDT It's hard to know how to cheer up your friend when you can't be by their side. Thankfully, there are so many ways you can help that don't involve meeting in person. If you're looking for some ideas to help comfort a friend through hard times, this article is here to help. You'll have your BFF smiling again in no time! [Edit]Text them to let them know that they're on your mind. - This simple gesture can really brighten your friend's day. If your friend is in need of comfort, send them frequent reminders that you're thinking of them. Tell them that you miss them and can't wait to see them again. Share that something reminded you of them in class that day. It will let your friend know that they're still very much a presence in your life even if they're far away.[1]
- Texting something like, "Thinking of you! Hope you're having a great day."
- Send a video of yourself jamming to their favorite song. Say something like, "This came on the radio and it made me wish you were here so bad! Miss you."
[Edit]List why you think they're special. - If they've been down on themselves lately, they may need a reminder. Send them a list of all the reasons you think they're amazing. Whether it be their kind and compassionate nature, their sense of style, or their knack for finding the coolest music, tell them why you are so grateful to know them.[2]
- Preface your list with a text like, "Hey just in case you're wondering, these are all the reasons why I think you're the coolest!"
[Edit]Remind them of your favorite friendship memories. - Help them remember all of the good times. Message them a random shared memory that always makes you smile. Next time you talk on the phone, reminisce with them about all of the fun experiences you two have had. It will hopefully brighten their mood and remind them of the positive things in life.
- Call them out of the blue to share a memory that's on your mind. Say something like, "I just remembered when we wore those wild outfits to that school dance. What were we thinking?!"
- Text them, "Do you ever think about all those over-the-top pranks we pulled on my little brother? Good times."
[Edit]Ask if there's anything you can do to help. - Different people prefer to be comforted in different ways. Ask if there's anything specific you can do to help your friend. The question alone will show that you care, and your friend will appreciate your kind offer.[3]
- Text them something like, "I'm sorry things have been rough. Is there anything I can do to help?"
- While you're talking on the phone, say something like, "What can I do to help? I'm always here if you need anything."
[Edit]Message them a funny picture or meme. - Provide a humorous distraction. Next time you see a funny cat picture online or a meme that you know your friend would like, send it their way. Avoid sending something funny during a deep discussion or right after your friend has confided in you, though. Wait for a more lighthearted conversation or send it randomly to start a new one.[4]
- Text your friend a SpongeBob meme with the caption, "Thought you would like this."
- Message them a silly picture of your dog along with the text, "Toby misses you!"
[Edit]Schedule a virtual hangout. - Make it more of an event than your usual phone calls and Skype dates. Watch a movie over Zoom or FaceTime together. Pick a recipe and make it in your respective kitchens. Schedule a virtual game night. It'll be a welcome distraction for your friend and will help remind them of all the fun you two can still have together.[5]
- Pick something that you know your friend will like and plan the event for them. It'll make them feel super valued to know that you went out of your way to cheer them up.
- If you're feeling particularly festive, plan a virtual party for your pal and invite a few of your mutual friends.[6]
[Edit]Make them a playlist. - Pick a bunch of music that's sentimental to your friendship. Alternatively, choose new songs that you think your friend will like. Either way, make it personal and unique to them. When in doubt, go for uplifting music that will make them feel good.[7]
- To stay in touch, make the playlist collaborative. That way, you both can keep adding music to share with each other.
[Edit]Mail them a letter or a postcard. - This is a classic way to show someone that you care. First, draft what you want to include in your letter. Try things like updates about what's been going on in your life, all the reasons you miss them, and fond memories you have of the last time you hung out. When you decide what to include, write it out on some nice paper. Mail the letter to their address and text them that something is coming their way soon.[8]
- For a creative touch, write your message on a postcard. Find one with an image that reminds you of your friend.
- For example, if you and your friend once hiked to a waterfall in your area, choose a postcard with a picture of that waterfall.
[Edit]Send them a gift. - Surprise them with something special to make their day. Arrange for flowers to be delivered to their apartment. Mail them one of their favorite albums on vinyl. You don't have to go all out in terms of spending, either. A homemade gift, like a knitted scarf or a piece of artwork, will lift their spirits all the same.
- Other ideas include a candle in a scent that you know they like, a gift card to a restaurant that they go to a lot, and a funny T-shirt that references their favorite show.
[Edit]Talk about the future. - Envision what you'll do together when you're reunited. Even if you don't have a plan in the works, this can help your friend feel more hopeful. Brainstorm things you would love to do together, like taking a trip to a city you've never been to before, starting a band, or seeing your favorite artist in concert.[9]
- Make a friendship bucket list for all the things you want to try together.
[Edit]Make a plan to visit them. - Schedule a trip to stay with them and help them in person. Though this might not always be feasible, it'll be a very welcome gesture if you can. Make travel arrangements to drive or fly to the city they live in. If that's too far away, agree to meet somewhere in the middle.[10]
- Once you plan the trip, count down the days on your calendar and share updates with your friend as it gets closer. Keep reminding them that there are fun things to look forward to in the future.
