It is believed by some that charging a crystal or stone helps it get its energy back to its fullest. Some crystal workers do not believe charging is necessary, such as Naisha Ahsian in her article: Stop Charging Your Crystals… Naisha makes a very solid argument, though I find charging my crystals to be a bonding experience that not only strengthens my spiritual relationship with my crystals but also serves as a means to thank and honor them.

If you so choose to charge a crystal, first clear any unwanted or negative energy from the crystal or other stone by cleansing them. 

With all methods of charging, first set your intention and state silently or aloud that you are doing this to charge your crystal for the best and highest good of all concerned.  After your stone is charged, thank the Divine by whatever name you know it for assisting in charging your stone. Now proceed with the method of charging your crystal. Here are several methods you can use.

• Sunlight or Moonlight Method: The sun’s and moon’s rays are very energizing, as well as energetically clearing. You can use this method to both clear and charge your crystals at the same time.  Find a safe place and leave your crystal for 24 hours or more (up to a week)  in sunlight and/or moonlight.  Some crystals colors will fade in Sunlight, so those should be charged only in moonlight. Some stones that will fade in the sun are amethyst, celestite, kunzite, opal, and turquoise. If you have any doubts at all, only use moonlight charging. This can also clear the stones of unwanted energies at the same time if you set your intent to do that as well. 

• Charging Stones: Some stones can be very energizing to other stones. In most cases, they can also clear their energy. That makes using charging stones a handy method of charging a crystal.  Simply place your crystal needing charging on a cluster or larger piece of a stone that can charge others such as selenite, amethyst cluster, quartz cluster, or carnelian. Leave your crystal there for 24 hours or until it feels like it is at full energy.

• Charging Grid: This is a variation on using charging stones. Take a group of quartz crystals (4 to 8 or more) and point them inward in a circle. Place the crystal or stone you want to be charged in the center of the circle and leave it there to charge for 24 hours or more.

• Plant Method: Place your crystal among the leaves of a growing, healthy plant for 24 hours or more to charge it. This is said to bring growth energies to the charged crystal.

• Burial: This method is good for grounding stones in particular, such as most any black stone, smoky quartz, red jasper, and others. Bury the stone in the ground for a week or more to charge it. This can also clear unwanted energies at the same time. Be sure when you bury your stone that you mark the area so you know where to find it when the week is up.

• Use Energy: This can be called lots of things. When people use “energy” to charge a crystal, what they mean might not always be exactly the same. Directing one’s own energy into the object can refer to the act of imagining your aura/prana/chi/qi/spirit entering the crystal. Many people claim to be able to feel this occur. As it is an intuitive process, you may wish to rely on your own instincts or those of a mentor in order to determine if you are doing this properly. 

• Unconventional Methods: Get creative with charging! Some individuals charge their crystals by simply kissing them! 

Whichever method you choose or come up with, the exact length of time needed for charging varies according to the state of the crystal or stone to begin with. Trust your intuition and higher self to lead you to the best methods and lengths of time for you and the stone.
