How to Activate Your Crystals: A Complete Guide | GemGlow

Aren’t crystals the best thing ever? They fulfill their purpose like a silent friend and are as alive as any of our belongings, if you believe enough. However, many people may not know that in order to reach crystals’ full potential, crystals need to be activated. There are traditional methods of activating crystals, and further we have some new methods to activate your crystals which are gaining popularity.

Here are a few ways to activate your crystals:

Sound: Sound vibrations can help to clear any negative energy that may be trapped in the crystal, allowing its true healing properties to shine through. This can be done by simply placing the crystal near a sound source such as a singing bowl, tuning fork, rain drums, chimes or even chanting a mantra. The sound waves will pass through the crystal, clearing any blockages, activating it and it will radiate again.

Burying in soil/snow: Another way to activate crystals is to use elements from nature. Crystals have a connection to the nature, since they come from mother earth. So, these elements can be used to activate a crystal. Example: Burying a crystal in the earth or snow for a period of time can help ground its energy and imbue it with the natural vibrations of the earth. Make sure to check if the crystal is friendly to this specific type of cleansing.

Affirmations: One of the most unique ways to activate crystals is to simply talk to them. Crystals are believed to have their own consciousness and can respond to human energy and intention. By talking to your crystals and setting clear intentions for their use, you create a stronger connection with them and activate their energy in a way that is personalized to your needs. Talk to them and be vocal about your desires and intentions.

Sunlight/Moonlight: Depending on what kind of crystal you’re working with, you can totally soak them up in the sun during the day or let them bask in the moonlight at night. This little ritual will cleanse and recharge your gems like a spa day for them. Sunlight and moonlight are both gentle yet super effective ways to give your crystals a boost. Think of those space bodies as nature’s chargers for activating your crystal.

Selenite charging plate: This is like a bed for your crystals. After they are depleted of their energy, just rest them on selenite plates and you will see them activated to their fullest. Use selenite plates or bowls or beads to activate your crystals.

Activating crystals using the techniques such as sound, natural elements and talking to them can greatly enhance their effectiveness and brings deeper healing and transformation, to you and to your crystals. So next time you work with crystals, remember to activate them intentionally and see the amazing results that come from it.
