Crystal Rituals: How to Care for and Cleanse Your Crystals ✨

Crystals are more than beautiful adornments—they are companions that carry subtle energy. Just as we take care of our own body and spirit, crystals also need to be cleansed and recharged.

In Chinese philosophy and Wu Xing (五行), balance is maintained by cycles of renewal. Cleansing your crystals is a way to maintain that balance—refreshing their energy so they can continue to support you.

👉 In this guide, we’ll share simple and authentic rituals to care for your crystals, combining traditional wisdom with practical methods.

🌙 Why Cleanse Crystals?

  • Crystals absorb energy from their surroundings—both positive and negative.
  • Cleansing helps release stored energy, returning the crystal to its natural state.
  • It allows the crystal to “breathe” again, making it ready to work with you.
  • Symbolically, it is like “resetting” the flow of Wu Xing in your personal energy field.

  • Avoid with delicate or porous crystals (e.g., selenite).
