When you first bring a crystal or stone into your space, it’s important to align it with your personal energy and intention. Although crystals naturally absorb the energy of those who handle them, consciously programming your stone helps to set a clear and focused purpose.
Here’s a simple process to follow:
-
Cleanse the stone first. This step clears any lingering energies. You can cleanse your crystal by placing it in salt water, under the sun, or by leaving it overnight in full moonlight.
-
Hold the crystal and connect. After cleansing, sit quietly with the stone in your hands. Let your energy gently blend with the crystal’s vibration.
-
Set your intention. When you feel connected, speak your intention out loud. Repeating it several times helps to strengthen the bond. You’ll often sense a subtle shift when the stone has taken in your message.
-
Keep it close. After programming, carry or wear the stone for a short time each day so it stays connected to your energy field.
Be mindful: your crystal’s programming can fade or change if someone else touches it or if it comes into contact with other stones. To keep it aligned with your intention, store it separately—ideally wrapped in natural white silk or cotton. White fabrics are excellent at shielding and reflecting unwanted energy.
