Every month, the moon's cycles help steer us, and our energetic bodies, and the height of the full moon can be an ideal time for rituals, including cleansing and charging your crystals. The full moon has so much potency to it. It is a time of peak Luna energy when its light is at its fullest brightness - revealing all and encouraging clarity and consciousness. It is also a time of balanced energies, completion, and release, and this means that it is the right time to let your previous crystals release what they have collected over the past month so they are fresh and ready to do the work as we move into the next lunar cycle.
Why Use the Full Moon to Charge Crystals?
1. The Energetic Impact of the Full Moon
The full moon is when lunar energy is strongest and most sublime. It is the peak of the lunar cycle and when the moon has maximum energy. It's a perfect time for releasing pent-up negativity, revisiting and resetting intentions, and enhancing crystal vibrations.
2. Full Moon Charging Benefits
Charging your crystals is essential to keep them humming at high energy, and while some people turn to salt water and singing bowls for their cleansing and charging, the full moon is a perfect method as its non-invasive and amplifies the crystal's natural properties make it even more effective in healing and manifestation. The full moon will help you release any stagnant or negative energy the crystal has absorbed over the past cycle.
How to Charge Crystals in the Full Moon: Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prepare Your Crystals
Gather your crystals and ensure they are cleansed to make the most of the full moon. You can cleanse them using sound baths and tuning forks for sound vibrations, holding them underwater for a few seconds, placing them in a salt bath (if appropriate for the specific crystal), and smudging them with white sage, palo santo, or your favorite herb. You can also use a Tiny Rituals Sage Smudging Kit.
2. Select the Right Location
Place your crystals outdoors or on a windowsill where the direct moonlight can touch them. You can also place them on natural surfaces like wood or in soil so that they are grounded.
3. Leave Them Out Overnight
Let your crystals bathe in the moonlight overnight. If you want to reach optimal results, expose them to the potent energy of the full moon for several hours or even place them in their spot from dusk until dawn. You can also enhance the energy absorption process by placing them in a Tiny Rituals Selenite Moon Recharging Bowl.
Allow your crystals to bathe in the moonlight overnight. For optimal results, keep them exposed for several hours, ideally from dusk until dawn.
4. Set Your Intentions
As your crystals are charging, this is a powerful time to meditate or set personal intentions so they can also get clear on the energy you are sending them. Focus on what you want to manifest in the upcoming lunar cycle with clarity and consciousness, and even use visualization techniques.
5. Retrieve Your Crystals in the Morning
Collect your crystals before sunrise if they are sensitive to sunlight (such as amethyst or rose quartz). For crystals not affected by sunlight, you can allow them to receive both moonlight and sunlight energy.
