Two Separate Steps, Often Confused
Cleansing resets a stone, clearing energy it has absorbed. Charging fills it with fresh energy or a specific intention. Think of cleansing as wiping a whiteboard and charging as writing your intention on it.
When to Cleanse
- When a stone is new to you
- After heavy use, stress, or a difficult conversation
- Whenever it feels "heavy" or dull
How to Cleanse and Charge
- Cleanse first—smoke, sound, moonlight, or a selenite plate (see sound cleansing).
- Check water safety before any water method (water-safe guide).
- Then charge: hold the stone, breathe, and state your intention.
- Rest it on a selenite wand or in moonlight to amplify.
