[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Cleansing

  1. Rinse your crystals in water for a quick cleanse. Not only will this cleanse your crystals spiritually, but it will also get rid of any dirt or grime on the surface of them. Take your rose quartz over to the sink and hold it under running water for about 1 minute. Then, dunk your crystal in a bowl of water to clean it off and get rid of any negative energy.[1]

    • Cleansing your crystals before you activate them leaves them more open to energy and healing properties.
    • If your rose quartz is still dirty, try gently scrubbing it with warm, soapy water before rinsing again.[2]
  2. Get rid of bad vibes with brown rice. Fill a shallow dish with brown rice, then place your crystals inside. Cover them up with rice and leave them there overnight. In the morning, you can uncover your rose quartz and reveal your cleansed crystals that are ready for activation.[3]

    • After you take your rose quartz out of the rice, you can throw the rice away.
  3. Smudge your crystals with sage to cleanse them in smoke. Sage is a natural plant that is thought to drive away negative energy when it’s burned. If you’d like to cleanse your crystals with it, open up your windows and light your sage, then blow it out quickly so it starts smoking. Hold your crystals over the sage in the smoke to cleanse them and remove any negative vibes.[4]

    • You can also do this with incense, if you have it! It’s the same process—light the incense, blow it out quickly, then hold your rose quartz in the smoke for a few minutes.
  4. Cleanse your crystals in saltwater overnight. To quickly cleanse your rose quartz, fill a glass with warm water and add 1 tbsp (14 g) of salt. Place your rose quartz in the water and leave it there overnight. In the morning, rinse it off in the sink for a full cleanse.[5]

    • If you live near the ocean, try dipping your crystal in the sea and then letting it dry in the sun for 5 to 6 hours instead for a more natural cleansing.
  5. Bury your rose quartz for a deep cleansing. If you’ve had your crystals for a while or you just feel like they need a deep clean, you can bury them in the earth. In your mind, ask Mother Nature where you should bury them, then dig a small hole and drop your crystals in. Cover the hole up and leave your crystals at least overnight before you dig them back up again.[6]

    • It’s up to you how long you leave your crystals in the ground! If you feel like your crystals are clogged with negative energy, you can leave them underground for as long as 1 year.
    • Your crystals might be dirty when you dig them up, so give them a quick rinse in the sink before displaying them in your home.

[Edit]Charging

  1. Warm your crystals in your hands for a quick activation. If you’re short on time, simply pick up your crystals in your hands and cup your palms around them. Gently rub them in between your palms, then blow hot breath into your hands. Your crystals will absorb your energy and activate.[7]

    • You can also pass them through incense or smudge stick smoke as you hold them.
  2. Charge your rose quartz in moonlight for an overnight charge. Some people believe that charging is the same as activating your crystal, while other people believe they are separate steps entirely. In any case, you can leave your crystal outside in the moonlight overnight to absorb energy. If you don’t want to leave your crystal outside, you can also place it on your windowsill where the moonlight hits it.[8]

    • If charging and activation are the same thing to you, that’s great! You’ve now activated your rose quartz, and you can display it in your home.
    • If you believe that charging and activation are separate processes or you’d like to activate your crystal with a specific purpose, keep reading.
  3. Leave your crystal outside in a storm to absorb a lot of energy. If you’d like to use nature to activate your rose quartz, wait until a large weather event happens, like a thunderstorm or a wind storm. Leave your crystal outside and let it absorb the energy from the storm. When the weather event is over, grab your crystal and bring it back inside.[9]

    • Weather events provide energy through electricity, especially lightning storms.

[Edit]Activating

  1. State your intentions to activate a specific purpose. Rose quartz is most known for spreading love and starting new relationships. You can also use it for healing, or to balance out any feelings of anger or disappointment.[10] If you’d like to use your crystal for a specific purpose, focus your energy into it by saying intentions either out loud or in your head. You can do this while sitting and meditating, or you can simply think about it throughout the day. Good intentions to use include:[11]

    • “I am a magnet of love. I welcome love into my heart.”
    • “I welcome the love of my life.”
    • “I will learn to love myself.”
    • “I will conquer my negative emotions and find happiness.”
  2. Use your other crystals for activation in a 12-point grid. If you own at least 12 other crystals, you can use their energy to activate your rose quartz. Set up your crystals in a 12-point grid with the rose quartz in the middle. Over the next 7 days, direct your energy toward the grid, focusing on the rose quartz. At the end of 7 days, your crystal will have absorbed energy, and you can display it in your home.[12]

    • To make a 12-point grid, place 1 crystal in the center, then surround it with a circle of 6 crystals. Make another, larger circle out of 6 large crystals surrounding the smaller circle.
  3. Create an altar to set the mood for activation. An altar isn’t totally necessary to activate your crystals, but it can help you focus your energy and get into a more spiritual space if you’re struggling. Set up a small shelf or table with a few candles, then set your crystals in front. Turn off all the lights so you’re lit up by candlelight before you start activating your rose quartz.[13]

    • You can also add sage or incense to your altar for a smoky effect (plus, they smell good, too).
