As winter settles with shorter days and colder temperatures, the energy around us tends to slow down. This seasonal shift can also affect your crystals, especially if they're frequently used for healing, meditation, crystal grids, or manifestation work. Without the abundant sunlight and grounding connection to the outdoors that summer provides, it's important to be intentional about keeping your crystals cleansed and charged during the winter months. Here are some of our favorite ways to maintain their vibrancy during this introspective season.
Charging your crystals under the Full Moon is a great way to harness the potent energy of the Full Moon and charge them at the same time. If it's too cold outside, place your crystals on a windowsill or table near a window. You can infuse them with this rejuvenating energy on the date of the Full Moon or three days before or after.
Bringing light to the your crystals helps to revitalize their energy. The soft glow of a Himalayan salt lamp, a tea light Selenite candle holder, or candles can invite in warmth and uplift your space. You can carefully pass your crystals through the smoke of a burning candle to release stagnant energy.
Using sound vibrational instruments can help reset the frequency of your crystals. Gongs, singing bowls, rattles, drums, or chimes are some examples of instruments that can be played over your crystals. Your voice is also a sound instrument and by simply chanting or singing intentionally to your crystals you can clear away any dense or stagnant energy.
Selenite is the perfect crystal to cleanse and charge your other crystals. Selenite itself never needs to be cleansed so you can place your smaller crystals in Selenite bowls or on Selenite charging plates.
Place your crystals in or near the plants in your home. Anything in nature inherently grounds and revitalizes our soul including the living plants in our home.
By using the methods above to keep your crystals energized during winter you can keep them vibrant and powerful during this season of reflection and introspection. Taking the time to care for them will deepen your connection with them, infuse them with new energy, and prepare for transformation in the months to come.
