Full Moon Ritual: How to cleanse your crystals

Are you into crystals? You’re in the right place. This post will teach you 5 ways to cleanse and charge your crystals with the full moon and why you should.

If you are anything like me then you completely understand the magic of crystals. Crystals offer a pathway to connecting with the Earth's energy and nurturing our spiritual well-being. Whether you're a seasoned crystal enthusiast or just beginning to explore their potential, these natural wonders can serve as powerful tools for enhancing various aspects of your spiritual journey. By harnessing the energies of crystals, you can promote balance, self-discovery, emotional healing, and a deeper connection to the universe around you.

WHY CLEANSE or CHARGE YOUR CRYSTALS?

A Full Moon is typically the best time to cleanse your crystals. When the full moon arrives, it’s time to create space to take stock of what has and hasn’t come to fruition just yet. I use this time to release the energy of things that no longer serve me.

A full moon is a time to get quiet, reflect, and celebrate. Unlike the new moon, the full moon represents fruitfulness and completeness and brings with it a lot of manifesting energy.

So, if you have crystals, I want to use this post to teach you how to cleanse and charge them up with the Full Moon energy, so they can heal you and your home and help you create the life that you want. I just published my newest e-book, The Blissful Living Guide to Feng Shui with Crystals. In the book, I am sharing all the tips and tricks for how to use your crystals at home.

WHY CRYSTALS?

Crystals, with their unique energetic properties, have been used for centuries to enhance well-being and spiritual growth. Just as the Earth's energy affects these precious gems, so does the energy of the celestial bodies that grace our night sky. Among these celestial influences, the full moon stands out as a powerful source of energy. In this blog post, we'll explore the significance of charging your crystals in the full moon and how this practice can amplify their natural energies.

The Connection Between Crystals and Lunar Energy

Crystals are believed to absorb, store, and transmit energy. This energy can be harnessed to enhance various aspects of our lives. The full moon, with its radiant glow and heightened energy, offers a unique opportunity to infuse crystals with its potent vibrations.

CLEANSING YOUR CRYSTALS:

Each crystal has its own specific energy, its own frequency that when placed in the proper position can completely change its environment. There are crystals for everything you can think of or need. Crystals to protect you, to manifest money, to attract love, promote happiness and joy, even crystals to help you de-clutter with ease. 

In preparing to use crystals in your home, you always want to work with cleansed crystals. Cleansing your crystal is meant to cleanse all prior energies attached to that crystal, from anyone else’s energy it might have picked up. When your crystal is purified and cleansed, it can take on your intentions in a greater capacity.

How to Charge Your Crystals in the Full Moon

Charging your crystals in the full moon is a simple yet impactful practice. Here's how to do it:

1. Choose a Suitable Spot: Find a spot where your crystals will be exposed to the moonlight. This could be a windowsill, outdoor space, or any area where they can safely receive the moon's energy.

2. Cleanse Your Crystals: Before charging, ensure your crystals are clean. You can do this by rinsing them under cool water or smudging them with sage or palo santo.

3. Set Your Intentions: Take a moment to set your intentions for your crystals. Reflect on what you hope to achieve with their energies and what you're seeking guidance for.

4. Place Your Crystals: Arrange your cleansed crystals in a way that they will receive direct moonlight. If possible, leave them outside overnight.

5. Retrieve Your Crystals: In the morning, retrieve your crystals. They are now charged with the moon's energy and your intentions.

5 WAYS TO CLEANSE YOUR CRYSTALS:

1. In the Moonlight.

   You can cleanse your crystals inner energy the best by placing them outside beneath the moonlight, overnight. You can also put them in the window if you don’t have easy access to an outside space. They call this charging up your crystals.

   It cleanses and re-calibrates their energy. This gets your crystal powers seriously amplified. The evening of a Full Moon is the optimal time to cleanse your crystals because the energy is super potent. It’s the moon that pulls the ocean waves, so a Full Moon has the strongest energetic effect.

2. With Smoke.

   Each time you buy a new crystal, a unanimously safe way to cleanse it, is by wafting cleansing herbal smoke (like sage or palo santo) all around the crystal. I do this weekly because it works really well on the black crystals which are your protection stones (black obsidian, black onyx and black tourmaline).

3. Use Water.

If your stones are tumbled and not water soluble, you can rinse them under water to physically clean them. If they’re fragile, brittle or raw, use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub away anything that doesn’t belong. Since raw crystals are dug up from the earth, it’s natural to have some dirt and earth matter on them! You do not want any dust piling up on them, keep them very clean. They’re sensitive after all.  

4. Selenite or other purification crystals.

Selenite is like a Super Crystal. It is the ultimate purification crystal. Selenite can actually cleanse other crystals. I keep my crystal jewelry on Selenite sticks to cleanse their energy while I am not wearing them. I like to keep selenite in the windows always as they help purify the home too. You can store selenite near or next to your other crystals to keep them cleansed on a daily basis.

5. Sound.

My favorite local crystal shop always uses their bells or gong to cleanse the crystal. Sound vibrations shake up every energetic vibe around it. This can be accomplished by using singing bowls, a tuning fork, or even a nice bell. It doesn’t matter what key the sound is, so long as the sound emitted is loud enough for the vibration to fully encompass the stone. This is really great for cleansing several crystals at the same time.

Which is your favorite method to cleanse your crystals?

SETTING YOUR INTENTIONS:

Once you crystals are cleansed, you need to fill them with your intentions because they take on the energy of those who interact with them. So you will want to be really clear and focused on how you use them. 

I like to pick them up and hold them with my hands. Close your eyes and speak your intentions to them. It may seem silly at first but once you practice doing this, you will begin to feel the energy exchange between you and your crystals. There does come a point where you fall in love with them and feel weird without them. 

I get much deeper into this in my e-book. It’s a 62-page guide that really explains how to use crystals in the home to raise the vibration and manifest the life that you want. Take a look…..

The top 5 areas you must feng shui in your small apartment or home & why

This post is all about 5 top areas of the home you must feng shui.

Hello. Hello.

After yesterday’s blog post, I got a slew of emails asking for more tips of living a Feng Shui lifestyle. When you begin to see how life changing, simple home adjustments can be, you always end up wanting more. If you’re anything like me, you’ll do whatever you can to ensure you are doing your part for happiness, love, health and financial freedom, am I right? I mean, who doesn’t want to feel good in their life?

So, I just want to remind you, incase you forgot.....The literal translation of Feng Shui is ‘Wind Water’. Feng Shui is the energy exchange between wind & water. 
Wind = moving energy
Water = flowing fortune
The whole purpose of feng shui is to lead you towards your flowing fortune. That’s right, not everybody’s fortune is the same. Some people want more fame, others want deeper relationships, others want to find their purpose. There is a unique life path for each one of us, so to ensure we are on the right track, we need to Feng Shui our environment to help us get there. I am obsessed with Feng Shui and I teach everything I know about it in my online course, High Vibe Home. For now, I’ll just share with you some simple things you should know.

HOW FENG SHUI & ENERGY AT HOME WORKS

Our environments are broken up into sections, according to the Bagua Map. Each section represents a specific part of our life and within that area, there are certain colors, elements and energy that can be used to enhance that energy (For example: the color pink, used in the love & marriage area can enhance your romance).

Here is what the bagua map (energetic layout of your home) looks like:

You’ll notice within each area sits different aspects of your life and below that are the energies you can work with to bring balance and harmony to that area of life. When all are open and flowing, your life will be blissful.

That's why my passion is showing you how you can set up the energy of your home environment for flowing fortune. in all areas of your life. My goal is to make Feng Shui simple and give you practical tools so that it works for you. I’ve even broken down a simple and effective way to feng shui using crystals.

Your home environment needs to flow in order for your life to flow. A cluttered home leads to a cluttered mind. If your home has stuck energy, your life will likely feel “stuck” as well. Whatever is going on in your home, seeps into your life.

I feel like it’s a good idea to share a story with you, to help paint a picture of what I want you to understand. My work with my Feng Shui Flow clients is always so inspiring, I love sharing their experiences. Take a look at the below photos. My client, let’s call her Miss Kay, a young, vibrant, beautiful woman who was experiencing a loss of inspiration, focus and calm in her life. For some reason, things felt off and incomplete in her life, she lives with an underlying feeling like something in her life is “missing”. Can you relate? I think most of us can relate in one way or another. Sometimes, it feels like there is always something we need to “fix”. It wasn’t until learning about Feng Shui that she thought it could quite possibly be her apartment that needed a refresh. It felt uninspired, stuffy, stuck and blocked.

Now here’s where it gets good. Most people in this exact space think to themselves, “oh I need a better/bigger home”, or “I need a whole decorating/design overhaul” or “maybe I should move”? That’s how we get when we feel stuck, like things aren’t fulfilling us or we need some sort of change. I am here to tell you today, don’t fall into the trap or those lies. You probably just need to Feng Shui your living space.

Take a look at the before and after. By the time our 1 hour session was over, we had her entire space shifted and her whole life opened up! She felt incredible, filled with energy, inspired, alive and clear on her direction. With Feng Shui, your life can change instantly.

Here’s the thing about Feng Shui. It’s not just a one time fix all, it’s a lifestyle that you must adopt. I’m always asked about my favorite Feng Shui books or basic tips, I am going to share 5 of my favorites with you in just a moment. But first, I want to address these ideas. Feng Shui is personal, it’s different for everyone. There are a thousand Feng Shui books out there but without guidance, and consistent implementation, they can be misleading and end up letting you down. I’ve seen it dozens of times, people get their hopes up and then disheartened when the Shui doesn’t actually help manifest what you want. Feng Shui wisdom is deep and needs to be really well understood, I highly encourage hiring a Feng Shui coach, just like I did.

For now, I will share with you 5 of my favorite practical things you can do at home that are easy to apply and always a good idea when you want to get started on your Feng Shui journey.

5 mOsT iMPOrTANT AREAS OF YOUR HOME TO FENG SHUI:

1) YOUR ENTRYWAY. The energy that comes into your home, enters through your front door and it is considered to be the area that welcomes in new energy and opportunity. I wrote an entire ebook on 25 super simple ways to attract money in through the front door. This is my go-to guide for anyone wanting to call in new energy to their home and is a MUST for when you first move in.

It is essential to make this area inviting, clean and beautiful.

A few super simple tips:

• Always light a candle for guests coming in to feel warm and welcome.

• Have ample space to put shoes, keys and bags.

• Make entering your home feel easy and feel good. You want it to amplify your blissful vibes, not take away.

• Hint: The crystal to use in the entryway is Tourmaline which protects your home from negative / draining energy. 

• Since this area represents opportunities and flow, bring water elements to the entryway. You could place a photo of a body of water or even place a water fountain by the front door ( this will usher in money making opportunities ). Most places of business will put a fish tank in the entryway to boost success and new customers.

2) YOUR KITCHEN. Clean and clear off all the counters in your kitchen. Flat surfaces speak to the energy in your life, especially your health and happiness. If you have to keep things on those flat surfaces like counters and islands, clean them off. you want everything clean, dust free so that the chi (energy) can flow. 

Hint: Citrus is not only good for your health, its good for your luck. 9 oranges, lemons or any other citrus in a bowl goes very well in this area.

You can always be sure if your kitchen surfaces are clean and smell really good, you are in good shape & promoting optimal health.

3) YOUR BEDROOM. the current status of your intimate relationship with your partner and with yourself lies in how to feng shui your bedroom. Wash your bedding/sheets or get new ones. These carry all of the old energy, so if you are ready for new life and energy in this area get new sheets. Your bedding should look harmonious, you want the feelings of balance and harmony on your bed. Not a bunch of mismatched sheets and pillows, that represents too many different energies in your love life, like other peoples opinions interjecting in your love life or too many distractions from your romantic connections, etc.

 Hint: Pink flowers in the bedroom inspire romance. If you want to learn more about how to manifest love with feng shui, read this.

4) YOUR CLOSET. There is always money hanging in your closet. You can sell old clothes and make money. Always get rid of clothes that are old, don’t fit or no longer look good on you. You want your home to have only things that speak to who you are at your best and the woman you want to be. Things should be well cared for and organized. If its a cluttered mess, your social life and confidence is probably a mess too. A clean, chic closet = complete confidence!  

One of the easiest ways to do this is to get matching hangers. I love the velvet hangers because they really hold the clothes well and keep them unwrinkled. Especially the velvet beige with rose gold hardware. I love them.

5) YOUR OFFICE. Get your office space looking good. De-clutter everything! Organize files and paperwork. Decorate it with some style. You want to feel lit up and inspired where you work, that’s where your inspiration needs to flow. I am a big proponent of using Feng Shui in your home office to create massive success.

The most important thing you want to do is to have your desk in the command position, meaning facing the entryway so you see any opportunities that may come in.

Another super simple thing you can do to Feng Shui your home office is bring in plants. I love an orchid or a snake plant as they are super easy to take care of and bring in vibrant new life energy. Hint: a purple orchid in the upper left hand corner of your desk will call in abundance and divine wisdom energy.

Hope you enjoyed these tips and that they serve and help you. And don’t forget to head over to check out my High Vibe Home course, it will literally change your life!
