Before wearing a crystal for the first time, it is recommended to cleanse and discharge it, allowing the crystal to fully align with your energy. Ideally, avoid letting others touch your crystal, and if contact occurs, be sure to re-discharge it. Keep smaller crystals stored separately from other items for optimal care.
Since crystals can store energy, it’s best not to wear them while bathing, sleeping, or when coming into contact with chemicals. It is also advisable to remove your crystal when visiting environments with negative energy, such as hospitals or cemeteries. If you feel weighed down by negative energy, wearing a crystal can help neutralize these unwanted influences or thoughts.
Crystals generally require discharging once a month, but if you frequently encounter negative environments, more frequent discharges are recommended. It’s also ideal to refresh your cleansing stones every six months.
Crystals need time to attune to your personal energy field, and this process varies from person to person. Some may experience this alignment quickly, while for others, it may take longer. If the process takes time, there’s no need to rush—trust in the crystal’s natural energy. Remember, crystals are meant to support and enhance, but should not be overly relied upon.
