Crystal Care - Cleaning & Charging

Caring & Cleaning
Create grids based on sacred geometry to charge your crystal.
Light-web crystals have been energized with Reiki and cleaned with sacred water (diamond water).  The smaller crystals woven around the main one will protect it from absorbing negative influences & energise it with the qualities they embody.   
It is highly recommended to clean your crystals (full & new-moons are an excellent time).  There’s lots of ways to do this.  The best is to put it in natural flowing water like a river or a stream.  If that’s not possible, a faucet/tap with clean water is okay.  
You can also leave them overnight in a glass bowl of pure water, or salt (throw the salt out after!).   
You can smudge crystals with incense or sage.
Other crystals or gems can clean them (like malachite or obsidian which absorb negative energy).   
Crystals can be cleaned with Reiki, chi/prana & loving intentions!

Here’s a great video about crystals & their cleaning (& charging) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cCaAwL1xpA

Charging Your Crystal

Crystal charges in glass of water beneath a green cloth (heart chakra).
Your crystal ‘works’ so hard for you: please reciprocate and take care of them!  If you’ve been in a place of negative energy, or if you’ve been feeling down recently (and you’ve been wearing your crystal) you can regenerate your crystals energy.   
After cleaning (see above), place the crystal in a glass bowl of water for 24-72 hours.  You could place the bowl on top of the card you received with your light-web crystal (with the flower of life symbol).  

You can place other crystals & gems around the crystal you wish to charge, with the intention of energizing the central crystal.  

Covering the crystal with a piece of cloth is often a good idea, as it lets the crystal rest (choose the colour based on which chakra you wish to energize).  

Sometimes the crystal may wish to be buried in the Earth (or in a house plant!), use the intention that the Earth will regenerate all negative energies & charge the crystal with loving, vibrations.   

Alternatively, you may sense that your crystal doesn’t wish to be in hibernation, in which case, leave in a place where the sun will charge her/him – or you can do both!
