Crystals and gemstones correspond and resonate with specific color frequencies, tones, and rays of light; increase or amplify a particular energy vibration. Rose quartz resonates with rose or pink light, enhancing love, emotional healing, seeing through the eyes of love. Lapis Lazuli resonates with a deep blue light, clearing communication channels with others or with the ethereal Realm of Spirit; promoting truth and integrity.
There are several ways that crystals and gemstones can be cleansed and charged or energized by placing them in sunlight; to the light of the Moon; rinsing them under cold running water; placing them in sea salt; burying crystals in the ground for 24 to 48 hours placing crystals with the tips facing the sky; pass crystals over and through incense or a white candle flame; visualize white or violet light in and around the crystals; Place smaller crystals or stones on larger clusters of Clear Quartz or Amethyst Quartz for 24-48 hours, be sure to cleanse the cluster and recharge or energize the crystal cluster in sunlight or moonlight.
Before cleaning and recharging your crystals and gems, consider rinsing each crystal or gem under cold running water. If you are near the ocean, lake, or stream, be sure to hold the crystals firmly or they could “jump” off your fingers into the water!
The intensity of the sun’s rays cleans crystals and precious stones in a few hours. Placing crystals and gemstones in the moonlight, especially during the full moon, removes all negative or dirty lower energies with a gentle yet very powerful energy.
If you choose to clean your crystals or gemstones with sea salt, keep in mind that sea salt can remove more than just stored negative energy; Sea salt can also disrupt subtle crystals, internal vibration, causing unwanted frequency realignment.
The healing energy of Mother Earth regenerates crystals by recycling or transmuting negative energy, restoring your crystals’ unique vibrational frequency.
Larger clear quartz or amethyst clusters have the ability to cleanse and restore balance to smaller crystals and gemstones by absorbing negative energy. I personally place my crystal pendants in larger crystal clusters and recharge them overnight. My cumulus clouds are charged by the sun each day and by the moonlight each night as it streams in through the windows.
Pink quartz
Rose quartz, generally known as the “love crystal,” is part of the quartz family of crystals and gemstones. When rotated, rose quartz varies from a very soft pink to a deeper pink. In its natural form, it appears to glow and can be somewhat translucent when exposed to sunlight. There are often veins or striations of lighter rose quartz that appear almost white.
When held, you may begin to experience a sense of harmony within your Heart Chakra, located in the center of your chest. The soft and subtle energy of Rose Quartz soothes emotions, allowing emotional wounds to heal more easily.
Rose Quartz will enhance your meditation experience, calming you from within. Place Rose Quartz under your pillow or on your nightstand to help calm your thoughts. A piece of Rose Quartz placed directly on the Heart Chakra will gently draw out emotional pain, allowing healing to begin.
It is possible to release sadness and emotional pain through forgiveness. Love is soft, tender and nurturing, allowing you to heal at your own pace. As the gentle vibration of the Rose Quartz resonates with your Heart Center, you begin to lovingly recreate the sacred space within, reconnecting you with Source Divine Energy. In healing, you will be able to give and receive love first, for yourself. As you continue to heal, a void will be created where you once experienced pain and sadness, making way for a higher level of self-love, allowing you to give and receive love, if you choose.
As the gentle and nurturing energy of Rose Quartz begins to circulate throughout your Being, a sense of inner peace and harmony enhances comfort and healing at the Soul level. Healing when sought with an open heart, releasing all that has come before, clears the path to new adventures, new experiences with a renewed sense of self-confidence.
Are you willing to release pain and sadness, real or perceived resentment, forgiving yourself and anyone else involved? To forgive is to free yourself from the confinement in yourself. Forgiveness is freeing you from reliving, from reproducing what caused you pain and suffering. The intention to forgive does not require that you place yourself on the same path or in similar circumstances.
