The new moon is great for injecting energy into your crystal and elevating a new beginning, while the full moon is most effective when looking for ways your rose quartz crystal can help you complete certain cycles.
In order to charge rose quartz, one should place it in front of a natural light source, preferably the sun or moon, for 24 hours. The sun is better for this purpose. Sunlight only shines for a few hours each day, so maximum charging takes several. Soaking crystals in saltwater may help.
You can use the intent to charge the crystal by placing rose quartz in direct moonlight, charging with salt, or using the energy of (direct) sunlight. You can use multiple methods to charge crystals, including light, sound, intention, and water; however, the most popular method is to place them in moonlight or sunlight.
Best Practices for Charging Rose Quartz
Your crystals don’t need to stand directly in the sun or moonlight to be charged properly. In fact, they do not need to be under the light to benefit from the energy of the moon or sun. As you cleanse and charge your crystals and stones with solar energy, make sure they are only exposed to the light of the moon. Remember that healing crystals can help you raise your vibration, but they also absorb energy, so they need to be cleansed periodically.
If you have a giant crystal that is difficult to move, or just a large collection (jealousy), you can try to clear the sound. As with the Tibetan bell, cleansing crystals with sound is a great way to fully restore their health. The high-pitched sound it makes with a tuning fork can remove stagnant energy and cleanse the crystal to the bone before refilling it with pure high vibrations.
With this method it is possible to cleanse and charge crystals that contain lower energy vibrations than water. All you have to do is hold the crystal (make sure it is not toxic in water) under running water such as a stream, faucet, or rain for a few minutes after it has been cleaned this way.
Natural Light and Salt Are Excellent for Charging Rose Quartz
Just like cleansing, crystals can be filled with light, water, sound, touch, smell, etc. You can use the natural energy of the sun, moon, solar eclipse, flowing water, and soil to charge the crystal. If you have a large cluster of crystals (especially quartz, selenite or amethyst), you can charge it, and then place smaller crystals (such as fallen stones or jewelry) on it to absorb the cluster energy and charge it. Another way to transfer crystal energy to another stone for charging is to use a crystal rod, preferably made of transparent quartz or selenite.
Just as salt can remove negative ions from crystals during refining, it can also have a positive effect on crystals during charging. This is an effective way to clean up quickly, again just like adding water, only a small amount of crystals can be added to the salt. Some crystals and gems that can benefit from this cleaning and filling method include smoky crystal, citrine, rutile quartz, amethyst, and clear quartz. This cleaning and filling method is suitable for crystals and gems, such as clear crystal, rutile quartz, rose quartz, amethyst, smoky crystal, ametrine and citrine.
Using this method of cleansing and recharging can bring powerful healing energy to you and your crystal work. Be careful when using this cleaning and refilling method as salt is abrasive and can damage softer stones and crystals. Regular cleaning and recharging of your stones is the only way to restore your crystal to its natural state.
The Benefits of Keeping Your Crystals Charged
Best used for positive physical, emotional and spiritual healing, keeping your powerful crystals charged and energized with these three simple crystal recharging techniques. Think of charging crystals as a way to clear them of unnecessary vibrations so that they can make the most of their healing abilities. Whether you are using your crystals for healing properties or for enhancing some form of energy, I would recommend that you continue with the cleansing and recharging process to get the most out of them.
I am often asked whether the sky is cloudy, whether it should be in the moonlight, should they be outside or just standing on the windowsill, I will say; I have done all this, whenever the crystal becomes lighter (an indicator of purification and charging) , I will choose the one that suits you. Simple trick: You can put the crystals on the windowsill under the full moon light, or put them in a safe place outside (assuming you have a clear sky). Leave your crystal in the moonlight overnight, especially during the full moon.
Sunlight May Be Better than Moonlight for Charging Rose Quartz
Sunlight is also purifying, so you can also leave the crystal in full sun throughout the day. Again, if your crystals are not sensitive to light and water, you can soak the crystal in a bowl of sea salt and water and then place it in sunlight. The sun additionally energizes the cleansing water itself, and as the stone is cleansed, sunlight begins to charge the stone.
If your crystal is insensitive to light and has been otherwise cleaned beforehand, you can place it in the sun to recharge it. Charge rose quartz with the powerful energy of the sun; take a rose quartz crystal and place it in a place where it can collect more sunlight during the day. To make sure your crystal is fully charged; Choose a cloudless sunny day so your rose quartz can absorb as much sunlight as possible.
Rose quartz jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets or rings are best charged using the power of the moon, sun, intent, or salt. You can charge healing crystal jewelry in the same way you charge a loose stone. When these stones are used for healing, they are said to absorb or redirect the negativity you are working on.
Keep Crystals Clean and Cleansed
Cleaning is necessary to release the old energy of the stones, while charging is necessary to optimize the vibration of the stones so that they can fully function. When there is no other vibration around, some stones will like it, including other crystals. In most cases, no matter what method is used, the crystals can be charged individually or in batches and get full power.
However, when we use certain crystals for programmed intentions, it becomes more beneficial to charge them in an individual environment. Plus, as you use your crystals, you may find that they need to be charged in order to keep working the way you want them to. Like your smart devices, crystals need to be charged. Charging your crystals will increase the energy within the crystal, which will return them to their natural frequency, increase the intensity of the intent placed in the stone, and allow the crystal to function for a longer period of time between cleanings.
