onto your crystal. You can feel, see or sense your breath waking the crystal up. Repeat this twice more. Then thank your crystal.

Once your crystal is cleansed and you have a connection, it’ s important to maintain this connection. You may need to repeat cleansings periodically and you may also need to reconnect if you spend time away from your crystal. Crystals don’ t like to be in boxes or bags for too long. For example, if you are carrying your crystal in your pocket every day, give it some heart-to-heart time or some breath energy every day after taking it out of your pocket.

These steps can be used for any crystal, stone, seashell or other ritual objects. Remember that you truly bring the magic and tools like crystals only enhance what you already have. Connecting with crystals energetically will truly help you on your spiritual journey and healing path.
