Crystals are more than décor, they’re energetic companions. With a little love and care, your collection can stay radiant and strong for years to come.

Here’s a beginner friendly, simple guide on how to cleanse, charge and store your crystals the Meowgical way.

1. Cleansing
Crystals absorb energy from people, other living beings and surrounding energies & spaces around them. Regular cleansing clears away any buildup and unwanted energies ensuring your crystals are always on point.

You can use smoke, water (and other cleansing liquids), moonlight, sunlight, salt, burial/Earth or sound. There is no right or wrong way to cleansing. Simply choose the method which draws you in and set your intention as you prepare and wait. Always make sure to do thorough research before cleansing as some methods may be harmful to specific crystals, these methods are most commonly sunlight, salt & water. Smoke and sound cleansing are typically the most reliable and safest option. 

2. Charging
Once cleansed, set your intention through charging your crystals. Always research your crystals to ensure your chosen method is safe for that specific crystal.

Moonlight: A full moon gives soft, reflective energy ideal for emotional balance.
