Some peoples charge their crystal by a stream (for cleansing), at high tide at sea (for vitality and health), at low tide (for slowing down, relaxation), during the New Moon (for new beginnings) or during the full moon (for abundance)/.

  

Single crystals or stones may also be charged by placing them on a cluster of crystals that have already been charged or by placing it in a holy or naturally pure place.

Focus your intention on freeing the crystal it of all negative influences, attachments and energy. As you hold this intention in your thoughts, inhale forcefully through your nose and exhale forcefully on the stone.
 
The idea is that your breath cleanses the rock and makes it your own. This is an Eastern as well as Nordic tradition for clearing objects. It will only work if you do feel truly connected to the divine as you are doing it. If you  are in a bad mood, save this technique for another day.

Usually the source of the smoke is a burning bundle of cedar or sage (this can also be purchased in new age, health or health stores.) You can also clear crystals using the smoke from rosemary, sage, frankincense, myrrh or Tibetan temple incense. This ritual finds its origins in both Native American and pagan traditions in which case the crystal could be cleared by simply passing it through the smoky fire of burning branches. Burning elder branches would be a good choice.

 Bury the crystal in a jar or bowl filled with sea salt and let it sit overnight. Some prefer to soak the crystal in seawater. If you live near an ocean that’s great, but you can make your own ‘sea water’ by just adding a couple of spoonfuls of sea salt to a container of water.

The best container for either procedure is glass or ceramic. Don’t leave your stones or crystals in there more that 24 hours as too much salt can cause a crystal to “grow” or develoip a seam. After 24 hours rinse the crystals with water, preferably spring or distilled water.

 
Peace Be Still, Sam
