Aligning yourself with the natural cycles and rhythm of the Earth and celestial bodies can be so healing and strengthening for our energy body, physical body, and our Spirit.
When you sync up with the lunar rhythm, something shifts. You start to feel more supported, more grounded, and more in tune with your own intuitive flow. Christina shares how you can work with the energy of the Full Moon to amplify your intentions, cleanse your space, and give your crystals a deep, soul-level charge.
We’ll chat about what crystals love the moonlight, what to avoid when placing them outside, and how to create a meaningful ritual that supports your own relationship with your crystals.
If you've been feeling scattered, drained, or like you’re carrying around energy that’s not yours, this is a great time to remember that nature has already built in a way to help you to slow down, get intentional, and reset your energy and the energy of your healing tools.

Christina Wooten (00:27):
Hey there, kindred spirit, welcome back to
the podcast. I'm so glad thatyou are here with me. We have
had so much lovely rain in thelast two days. It's been
amazing. My garden is so happy.
It's just like bursting forwardwith so much life this year.
We've got some herbs. Theparsley has finally come up. We
(00:48):
have a surprise watermelon thatis coming up. We have lots of
different flowers. We have romatomatoes. We have zucchini and
spaghetti squash, and we have awhole new rose bush that we
planted. So really, it's lovingthis amazing weather, but it's
just been nice also to beoutside, to be grounded, to be
(01:12):
connected, to do those littletedious things like weeding. And
I don't know if you guys talk toyour plants when I'm watering
them, but I do. I tell themthey're so pretty, they're so
beautiful and how vibrant theirleaves are. It's just a really
nice calming practice that Ihave in my life. But anyway, I'm
(01:32):
glad that we are here togetheron June 11, there is a Full Moon
in Sagittarius. So when we'rerecording this, it's just right
around the corner, and the fullmoon can be a really nice
release and a reset for all ofus, but it can also be really
helpful for our crystals too. Soif that's what we're going to
(01:54):
talk about today. Now, if youare new to tracking the lunar
cycles or to just slowing downgrounding into more mindful,
connected living like payingattention to those natural
cycles and how it affects youand how you feel as a result.
You might also want to check outa couple of other free resources
(02:14):
that I have for you. So thefirst one is an episode of our
podcast called start manifestingwith the Divine Feminine through
the moon phases, which isepisode number 57 in that
episode, we share themetaphysical aspects of these
moon phases and how that'slinked to the divine feminine,
why you should be using thepower of the moon to supercharge
(02:37):
your manifestation efforts. Soif you're wanting to be more
aligned in your creativeprocess, definitely check out
episode number 57 and I alsohave episode number 210 for you,
which is living by the moon'sinfluence with Suzanne Gerber.
That was an amazing episode.
That was really informative,where I was talking with Suzanne
(02:59):
Gerber, who is a classicallytrained modern astrological
counselor, and she has overthree decades of experience with
the moon and astrological work.
So she talks about how tointegrate astrology and
spiritual growth, and guides usin working with the moon cycles
to bring clarity purpose andharmony in your lives,
(03:21):
especially in the time where wemight be feeling a little bit
uncertain, and we need to bringforward more intention and more
of a sense of grace to things.
So that is episode number 210 sothose are great resources to
help you get started and helpanswer questions that you might
have about lunar energy, ifthat's kind of a newer topic for
(03:43):
you. But before we dive into ourtopic of today, which is
incorporating crystals intothat, I have to tell you that
I've just opened the doors tosomething really special that
I've been working on for months,the intuitive heart circle, if
your creative spirit has beencraving a sacred a nurturing
space to reconnect with yourintuition and your spirit
(04:06):
guides. If you've been wantingto bring out more of your
creative side, explore art in ano pressure healing kind of way,
and just feel lit up, realignedwith your inspiration again,
this is a great space to explorethat we're getting ready to
start, I would love to have youjoin us. You can get all of the
(04:27):
information on that at Sedona,medium.com, forward slash,
intuitive heart circle, and I'mgoing to add that link to the
description wherever you'relistening today, or you can also
find it in the show notes. Okay,so tell me if this sounds
familiar, maybe you're trying tosleep and you're noticing that
your dreams are like all overthe place, or really intense.
(04:49):
Maybe you're having a hard timeeven getting to sleep. You feel
a little bit more restless.
Maybe your emotions are feelingkind of intense or very
sensitive, like they're stirred.
It up. Maybe the people aroundyou seem like they're just
they've grown another head.
They're starring in their ownlittle soap opera that they've
created. It might be the fullmoon. Maybe not all the time.
(05:14):
Sometimes, there's otherfactors. But you know, I'd say
like 70% of the time it'sprobably the full moon, and
you're not imagining it. Before,I was doing this work full time,
so doing readings and Reiki andteaching intuitive development,
I worked in a psychiatrichospital, and I swear that every
single time there was a fullmoon, the energy would just
(05:37):
crank up on the units, even thevery skeptical nurses or
skeptical people noticed it. Imean, you knew if you were on
the calendar for the full moon,like you better be ready when
you walked in the door. Youcould feel it in the atmosphere.
In the milieu, there wasconstantly things popping off.
(05:57):
People had a tendency to getmore upset. People in our
psychosis unit were a lot moreactive and needed a lot of
support. During that time, therewere tons of admissions that
would come in significantly moreso over the full moon, and
especially that night, if youworked night shift, it was very,
very intense, and it reallymakes you respect the power of
(06:21):
this subconscious effect thatthe moon can have in our world,
in our environment, and also inour inner landscape. And it
didn't stop there, either,because there was a women's
hospital that was right aroundthe corner, and the nurses there
that we were connected to wouldalways talk about how many
babies were coming through atthat time, and lots of events
(06:44):
that were happening that theywere emergencies, that they were
having to deal with whenever itwas the full moon. So it was
just like clockwork. You reallycouldn't ignore it. There was
never a time where it was thefull moon and it was a nice,
easy, relaxing shift, okay, itwas like you were doing five
shifts at one time. It was very,very intense. And I worked 12
(07:05):
hour shifts. So that was evenmore special when it fell on a
full moon. But the thing aboutfull moons is they really stir
things up, for sure, but thinkabout what's happening with the
fullness of the moon. They alsobring things to light, things
that were meant to be seen,things that need to be felt, so
(07:27):
that they can be processed andfinally, let go of it is an
opportunity for this mirror tocome up and say, Hey, are you
ready to release that thingthat's been sitting in your
energy for a while. This is youropportunity. This is your chance
to let go of something thatyou've been carrying. So it's
(07:48):
also a time where we can get astrong sense of a release and
relief, where we're letting goof things that are no longer
serving us. And sometimes it'snot in the most eloquent way,
because the full moon, you know,is bringing forward things with
that intensity, bringing thingsto the surface that maybe we're
(08:10):
a little bit resistant to. So itcan get a little bit messy in
that time as well, because youmay notice that things are
coming up without the same senseof normal control that you have
over things or over yourresponses. So there's a lot
happening when the full moon isat play, but everything is
(08:30):
responding to the full moon'senergy, and this includes
crystals, so our little funsparkly allies soak up that
energy. All month long. They'resoaking up our energy, the
environment's energy, even otherpeople's energy, if they've been
sitting in the shared space,sometimes they even can get a
(08:52):
little bit bogged down, justlike we do. So if your favorite
crystal suddenly feels a littlebit not as vibrant
energetically, or maybe it feelsa little bit heavy, a little bit
stagnant, almost like it'sfallen into a state of dormancy.
It might be time for a bigcleanse and a recharge. And this
(09:13):
is where the full moon can bereally helpful. And it's kind of
like perfect timing. We're rightaround the corner from the next
Full Moon in Sagittarius, whichis June 11, 2025 so in this
episode, I'm going to walk youthrough why crystals really need
cleansing and charging in thefirst place, why the full moon
(09:36):
is such a powerful energy to dothat with, and how you can get
started if that is somethingthat you would like to do, and
work with your crystals toelevate their energy and help
them to release and let go ofheaviness that may not be
serving them and may not beserving you, as well as their
(09:57):
crystal partner. Sure. Allright. So why do crystals need
cleansing and charging? So thinkof it like energetic hygiene.
Just like we pick up otherpeople's energy, our crystals do
the same thing so they can get alittle bit overloaded, holding
on to a lot of stagnant energyor old intentions or even stuff
that wasn't ours to begin with.
(10:22):
Imagine all the people touchingthem at the Crystal store, and
all the energy that that leaveson them also. So when you're
connecting with crystals,carrying them around all day, or
using them in healing, it justit picks up a lot of energy as
well, and cleansing them helpsto reset them. It clears away
(10:44):
all of that extra gunk andbrings them back to their
natural, pure vibration. Sothere are lots of ways to do
that, like smudging using amaster crystal, like Selenite,
or certain crystals respondreally well to the cleansing
element of water. There are somany ways to cleanse your
(11:05):
crystals, which you do rightafter you purchase them, or when
they start to get that kind ofheavier feeling. Now we're not
going to get into the cleansingaspect in this particular
episode, because we're focusingon charging How do you charge
your stone? So after youcleanse, you're sort of cleaning
the palette. Imagine achalkboard, and you're just
wiping it clean and fresh,charging it is where you are
(11:30):
renewing that energy. So you'renot just cleaning it and
cleansing all the extra stuffaway. You're really plugging it
back into source, and you'rehelping it to work at full
capacity. And where that energyis very clear, it's focused, and
its cup is full, so it's readyto support you again as well.
(11:50):
And caring for our crystals inthis way, it is very, very
important, because when you takecrystals on, you are becoming
their steward. As weird as itsounds, it is like, you know,
adopting an animal in some ways,and that you are taking on a
certain type of responsibilityto support and help them in
being their very best selves andattending to their needs and not
(12:13):
just using them for your ownpurposes, knowing that they have
their own mission out in theworld, and you want to Help them
to shine that light as well. Sothese sacred items, they are co
creators in our healing, andwhen we treat them with love and
intention, they will reflect allof that right back to us to in
(12:34):
our own healing work in ourenvironment. It's a beautiful
exchange. You can always chargecrystals anytime you feel
inspired under the moon, underdifferent moon phases. But a lot
of people choose the full moonspecifically, and this is
because besides being justglorious and beautiful, the Full
(12:56):
Moon brings a very deep Yinenergy. It's intuitive, it's
feminine, it's very receptive,and it's naturally cleansing all
of that light that you seethat's just lighting up the
landscape and shining down. It'senergetically amplifying
(13:17):
whatever it touches. Andcrystals love this, especially
the ones that are tuned intointuition, like Amethyst and
Moonstone and all of thecrystals that are, you know,
dreamy purples and blues andsometimes pinks too, they tend
to do beautifully under the fullmoon or being charged in the
(13:42):
moonlight. So there are somecrystals that are going to be
particularly attracted tomoonlight, and some that would
prefer to be charged insunlight, because they crave and
are more in alignment with thesun energy. So that would be
things like Sunstone or Citrine,those types of things have a
(14:03):
tendency to prefer sun so youreally have to use and follow
your intuition for whichcrystals want to be charged in
the moonlight, which cycleswould be good for them
particularly. But if you'regoing to charge in the
moonlight. The full moon is anexcellent place to start,
because everything's at itshighest level. If you want to
(14:28):
charge your crystals in the fullmoon, it doesn't have to be a
very fancy ritual or process inorder to do this. It's really
something that you knowgenerally feels very instinctive
and very natural to do so onceyou understand why the moon can
be so helpful in charging andelevating the crystals and their
(14:52):
energy really renewing them sothat they can come back and be
strong energy to support you aswell. So you start. First by
choosing which crystals to workwith. So you're going to go to
wherever your crystals live, inyour house or in your
environment, and feel into theones that are asking for a
little bit of love. So just letthem know I'm going to be
(15:14):
charging crystals in the fullmoon. Is there anyone that wants
to come and wants to join, andyou might just have a sense or a
feeling about certain ones, orlike, ooh, me, me, me, please.
So you'll pull them aside andthen make sure that that feels
really in alignment, that theyreally want to go out and be
charged in the full moon, andmaking sure that you ask them
(15:37):
really, I know it sounds silly,but crystals will communicate
with you in the same way thatanimals will communicate with
you in unspoken ways. We justhave a natural inclination when
we tune in and we listen, we canget this feeling and this
knowing about what is neededhere, some crystals really love
(15:57):
the moon, and like I said,others don't. So the more watery
and Yin ones, the blues,purples, blacks, pinks, usually
connect really well with thistype of energy, and others might
prefer sunlight. So you justpull those aside and make sure
you know which ones you'rebringing outside. And then after
that, you can place yourcrystals outside under direct
(16:19):
moonlight, or you might need todo it inside, on a windowsill.
So if you're in an apartment orin an environment where you know
you can't necessarily trust thatthose special ritual items are
going to be left alone, then youmight choose to do it on a
windowsill instead. But you canplace your crystals outside,
(16:40):
really trying to focus thatthey're not in the shade, that
they're gonna get, you know, thelight of the moon shining down
on them, and get a nice, goodglow, and trust where you feel
guided to take them. Now, keepin mind that water can damage
some crystals, so think aboutthis. In where you place them,
(17:01):
you may need a spot that's notgoing to be as vulnerable to a
lot of Morning Dew, for example.
So just think about that. Also,if there's animals roaming
around, is it going to be in anarea where someone might knock
it down and damage the crystalin some way? So think about
those things in your placementas well, and also following your
(17:21):
intuition for where yourcrystals want to be. Maybe some
want to be in one area and somewant to be in another area. So
just follow what you feel guidedto. There's no real right or
wrong there. As you find thatspecial spot, you're going to
lay each crystal out and speak ablessing over it. Just really
hold an intention in your heart.
(17:44):
And maybe you say somethinglike, Thank you for the healing
that you've offered, thank youfor your beautiful light. I hope
that you recharge, recharge withlight and with clarity and with
love, something that just feelsright for you. Maybe you express
your gratitude for what thatparticular crystal does in your
household or does in your life.
But whatever it is, just give ita little bit of a blessing as
(18:07):
you set it down and set yourintention and then let them soak
up the moonlight overnight. Youdon't have to grab them
immediately before sunrise. Somepeople like to they're, you
know, maybe a little bit puristand want to rush out there and
set their alarm and grab itbefore the sunrise comes up. But
really, you know, my experiencehas been that crystals are not
(18:28):
too bothered by that oncethey're nice and charged,
they've already set thatintention and they're already
radiating out that energy. Butthere are crystals who are
photosensitive, who aresensitive to light, and it can
damage their color if they areset out for a long period of
time. So you don't want to leavethem for very long outside in
the bright sunlight. So don'tjust set them out to charge in
(18:53):
the moonlight and then leavethem for a few days, because
that can definitely cause someissues in the color and clarity
of your crystal. So you know,it's helpful to understand those
things too. And you can also addin other elements that might
feel good. So you could set themon a piece of Selenite in
addition to wherever they'resitting, so that they can get a
(19:14):
little bit of extra cleansingfrom that master Selenite
crystal. You can use soundhealing elements like a tuning
fork or tinctures if you haveaccess to them, or you could,
you know, before you actuallyset them out, you could gently
smudge them with the smoke tocleanse and help them to release
and to let go before thecharging but follow whatever
(19:37):
feels good for you, and whatalso feels natural for your
abilities, for your intuition,what feels like your true
vibration. You're going to getsome direction around that to
really make this yours, ofcourse. Now a couple of things
to think about. Make sure thatyou check the weather, some
crystals like I said, Don't lovemoisture, and they're not going.
(19:58):
To do well, if they get rainedon, and certainly if it gets a
lot of rain, it could sweep yourcrystals away. So you want to
just be extra cautious and extraaware of what the weather is
doing. If you think that it'sgoing to rain or it might rain
hard, make sure that you placeit, perhaps in a window sill,
rather than placing it outsidedirectly where it might be
(20:20):
exposed to something that couldbe harmful. Now, if you're a
part of my inner circle, youknow that we track things like
the full moon, the new mooneclipses. We track things like
the mercury retrograde and soforth. Pay attention to what
kind of energy is cyclingthrough our atmosphere and
influencing things as well, sothat we can be prepared for that
(20:43):
energy. There are some fullmoons and eclipses that happen
at the same time or on the sameday, and you might be wondering,
oh, is that a great time tocharge my crystals? Am I going
to get some extra juicy Eclipseenergy that's going to do some
interesting things to mycrystals as well. It's important
to address this, becauseeclipses are like spiritual wild
(21:05):
cards. They can bring very swifttransformation in our life. They
can bring karmic shifts, majorreveals, and that energy can be
very, very very intense. Youknow, track how you're feeling
during eclipses and what'shappening in your life around
(21:26):
that time, to just become moreaware of how intense and
somewhat turbulent that energycan feel. I think turbulent is a
good expression, because it canfeel like you're bouncing around
a little bit with all of thatthat is coming to the surface,
it's generally considered notadvised to charge crystals
during Eclipse energy unless youhad a very special inspiration
(21:50):
and direct direction to do so.
Most of these crystals don'twant to be exposed to that level
of shake up, because it is sointense and so turbulent, and
it's not a very consistentenergy. It's not a very
relaxing, peaceful, healing,supportive type of energy,
(22:13):
right? It's drawing a lot ofstuff to the surface. So that's
not always very helpful. Whenwe're talking about charging
crystals. We want to thinkabout, you know, giving our
crystals a great experience,like they're going to the day
spa, they're going out, or thenight spa, they're going
outside. They're getting chargedup, illuminated and coming out,
you know, looking fresh andfeeling great, whereas, if
(22:34):
they're going outside during aneclipse period, there's a lot of
things, and they're probablycoming back with, you know,
their hair sticking in alldifferent directions, a little
bit like Beatrix Lestrange fromHarry Potter. It's a little bit
like, whoa. What just happened?
So not the best time, unless youhave very strong direction.
Maybe you have a crystal thatdoes a lot of shadow work, or is
(22:57):
specific to working withtransformations, and you get a
strong, intuitive direction thatit needs to charge during the
eclipse, then I always think youfollow the direction that you
received more so than just thegeneral rule. I think you know,
our intuition is more powerfulthan anything. However, for the
most part, it's always best tomaybe sit out charging on the
(23:19):
eclipses, because it is notgoing to give you the same
outcome that you're generallylooking for when we are talking
about charging. So if you'venever charged your crystals
under the full moon, this is agreat opportunity for you to
just give it a go, maybe even toexperiment with it. Maybe you're
like, I don't know if the fullmoon really does a whole lot.
Maybe you just need a personalexperience with it. So choose
(23:42):
one of the crystals that maybeis feeling a little stagnant, is
feeling a little bit heavy, giveit a chance to charge outside
over that full moon period,following some of the things
that we've talked about, settingyour intention for that crystal
to be filled with love andclarity and focus and life
again, and then bring it back inand see how you feel about the
(24:02):
life force energy of that stoneafterwards. I think having
personal experiences are veryimportant, because it really
helps you understand there issomething to that powerful
energy. So pick a few specialstones, set a really nice
intention and let the moonlightjust do its thing. And if you
(24:23):
do, I'd just love to hear how itgoes. So you can tag me on
Instagram. You can send me amessage. I'm always curious
about what unfolds when we openourselves to the moon's wisdom,
when we listen to the naturalworld and we live in alignment
with these influences. So untilnext time, I hope that your
crystals sparkle a little bitbrighter, and may this upcoming
(24:44):
Full Moon help you to releasewhatever is heavy and make space
for what's true. All right. Manyblessings. The

Maybe your emotions are feelingkind of intense or very
sensitive, like they're stirred.
It up. Maybe the people aroundyou seem like they're just
they've grown another head.
They're starring in their ownlittle soap opera that they've
created. It might be the fullmoon. Maybe not all the time.
(05:14):
Sometimes, there's otherfactors. But you know, I'd say
like 70% of the time it'sprobably the full moon, and
you're not imagining it. Before,I was doing this work full time,
so doing readings and Reiki andteaching intuitive development,
I worked in a psychiatrichospital, and I swear that every
single time there was a fullmoon, the energy would just
(05:37):
crank up on the units, even thevery skeptical nurses or
skeptical people noticed it. Imean, you knew if you were on
the calendar for the full moon,like you better be ready when
you walked in the door. Youcould feel it in the atmosphere.
In the milieu, there wasconstantly things popping off.
(05:57):
People had a tendency to getmore upset. People in our
psychosis unit were a lot moreactive and needed a lot of
support. During that time, therewere tons of admissions that
would come in significantly moreso over the full moon, and
especially that night, if youworked night shift, it was very,
very intense, and it reallymakes you respect the power of
(06:21):
this subconscious effect thatthe moon can have in our world,
in our environment, and also inour inner landscape. And it
didn't stop there, either,because there was a women's
hospital that was right aroundthe corner, and the nurses there
that we were connected to wouldalways talk about how many
babies were coming through atthat time, and lots of events
(06:44):
that were happening that theywere emergencies, that they were
having to deal with whenever itwas the full moon. So it was
just like clockwork. You reallycouldn't ignore it. There was
never a time where it was thefull moon and it was a nice,
easy, relaxing shift, okay, itwas like you were doing five
shifts at one time. It was very,very intense. And I worked 12
(07:05):
hour shifts. So that was evenmore special when it fell on a
full moon. But the thing aboutfull moons is they really stir
things up, for sure, but thinkabout what's happening with the
fullness of the moon. They alsobring things to light, things
that were meant to be seen,things that need to be felt, so
(07:27):
that they can be processed andfinally, let go of it is an
opportunity for this mirror tocome up and say, Hey, are you
ready to release that thingthat's been sitting in your
energy for a while. This is youropportunity. This is your chance
to let go of something thatyou've been carrying. So it's
(07:48):
also a time where we can get astrong sense of a release and
relief, where we're letting goof things that are no longer
serving us. And sometimes it'snot in the most eloquent way,
because the full moon, you know,is bringing forward things with
that intensity, bringing thingsto the surface that maybe we're
(08:10):
a little bit resistant to. So itcan get a little bit messy in
that time as well, because youmay notice that things are
coming up without the same senseof normal control that you have
over things or over yourresponses. So there's a lot
happening when the full moon isat play, but everything is
(08:30):
responding to the full moon'senergy, and this includes
crystals, so our little funsparkly allies soak up that
energy. All month long. They'resoaking up our energy, the
environment's energy, even otherpeople's energy, if they've been
sitting in the shared space,sometimes they even can get a
(08:52):
little bit bogged down, justlike we do. So if your favorite
crystal suddenly feels a littlebit not as vibrant
energetically, or maybe it feelsa little bit heavy, a little bit
stagnant, almost like it'sfallen into a state of dormancy.
It might be time for a bigcleanse and a recharge. And this
(09:13):
is where the full moon can bereally helpful. And it's kind of
like perfect timing. We're rightaround the corner from the next
Full Moon in Sagittarius, whichis June 11, 2025 so in this
episode, I'm going to walk youthrough why crystals really need
cleansing and charging in thefirst place, why the full moon
(09:36):
is such a powerful energy to dothat with, and how you can get
started if that is somethingthat you would like to do, and
work with your crystals toelevate their energy and help
them to release and let go ofheaviness that may not be
serving them and may not beserving you, as well as their
(09:57):
crystal partner. Sure. Allright. So why do crystals need
cleansing and charging? So thinkof it like energetic hygiene.
Just like we pick up otherpeople's energy, our crystals do
the same thing so they can get alittle bit overloaded, holding
on to a lot of stagnant energyor old intentions or even stuff
that wasn't ours to begin with.
(10:22):
Imagine all the people touchingthem at the Crystal store, and
all the energy that that leaveson them also. So when you're
connecting with crystals,carrying them around all day, or
using them in healing, it justit picks up a lot of energy as
well, and cleansing them helpsto reset them. It clears away
(10:44):
all of that extra gunk andbrings them back to their
natural, pure vibration. Sothere are lots of ways to do
that, like smudging using amaster crystal, like Selenite,
or certain crystals respondreally well to the cleansing
element of water. There are somany ways to cleanse your
(11:05):
crystals, which you do rightafter you purchase them, or when
they start to get that kind ofheavier feeling. Now we're not
going to get into the cleansingaspect in this particular
episode, because we're focusingon charging How do you charge
your stone? So after youcleanse, you're sort of cleaning
the palette. Imagine achalkboard, and you're just
wiping it clean and fresh,charging it is where you are
(11:30):
renewing that energy. So you'renot just cleaning it and
cleansing all the extra stuffaway. You're really plugging it
back into source, and you'rehelping it to work at full
capacity. And where that energyis very clear, it's focused, and
its cup is full, so it's readyto support you again as well.
(11:50):
And caring for our crystals inthis way, it is very, very
important, because when you takecrystals on, you are becoming
their steward. As weird as itsounds, it is like, you know,
adopting an animal in some ways,and that you are taking on a
certain type of responsibilityto support and help them in
being their very best selves andattending to their needs and not
(12:13):
just using them for your ownpurposes, knowing that they have
their own mission out in theworld, and you want to Help them
to shine that light as well. Sothese sacred items, they are co
creators in our healing, andwhen we treat them with love and
intention, they will reflect allof that right back to us to in
(12:34):
our own healing work in ourenvironment. It's a beautiful
exchange. You can always chargecrystals anytime you feel
inspired under the moon, underdifferent moon phases. But a lot
of people choose the full moonspecifically, and this is
because besides being justglorious and beautiful, the Full
(12:56):
Moon brings a very deep Yinenergy. It's intuitive, it's
feminine, it's very receptive,and it's naturally cleansing all
of that light that you seethat's just lighting up the
landscape and shining down. It'senergetically amplifying
(13:17):
whatever it touches. Andcrystals love this, especially
the ones that are tuned intointuition, like Amethyst and
Moonstone and all of thecrystals that are, you know,
dreamy purples and blues andsometimes pinks too, they tend
to do beautifully under the fullmoon or being charged in the
(13:42):
moonlight. So there are somecrystals that are going to be
particularly attracted tomoonlight, and some that would
prefer to be charged insunlight, because they crave and
are more in alignment with thesun energy. So that would be
things like Sunstone or Citrine,those types of things have a
(14:03):
tendency to prefer sun so youreally have to use and follow
your intuition for whichcrystals want to be charged in
the moonlight, which cycleswould be good for them
particularly. But if you'regoing to charge in the
moonlight. The full moon is anexcellent place to start,
because everything's at itshighest level. If you want to
(14:28):
charge your crystals in the fullmoon, it doesn't have to be a
very fancy ritual or process inorder to do this. It's really
something that you knowgenerally feels very instinctive
and very natural to do so onceyou understand why the moon can
be so helpful in charging andelevating the crystals and their
(14:52):
energy really renewing them sothat they can come back and be
strong energy to support you aswell. So you start. First by
choosing which crystals to workwith. So you're going to go to
wherever your crystals live, inyour house or in your
environment, and feel into theones that are asking for a
little bit of love. So just letthem know I'm going to be
(15:14):
charging crystals in the fullmoon. Is there anyone that wants
to come and wants to join, andyou might just have a sense or a
feeling about certain ones, orlike, ooh, me, me, me, please.
So you'll pull them aside andthen make sure that that feels
really in alignment, that theyreally want to go out and be
charged in the full moon, andmaking sure that you ask them
(15:37):
really, I know it sounds silly,but crystals will communicate
with you in the same way thatanimals will communicate with
you in unspoken ways. We justhave a natural inclination when
we tune in and we listen, we canget this feeling and this
knowing about what is neededhere, some crystals really love
(15:57):
the moon, and like I said,others don't. So the more watery
and Yin ones, the blues,purples, blacks, pinks, usually
connect really well with thistype of energy, and others might
prefer sunlight. So you justpull those aside and make sure
you know which ones you'rebringing outside. And then after
that, you can place yourcrystals outside under direct
(16:19):
moonlight, or you might need todo it inside, on a windowsill.
So if you're in an apartment orin an environment where you know
you can't necessarily trust thatthose special ritual items are
going to be left alone, then youmight choose to do it on a
windowsill instead. But you canplace your crystals outside,
(16:40):
really trying to focus thatthey're not in the shade, that
they're gonna get, you know, thelight of the moon shining down
on them, and get a nice, goodglow, and trust where you feel
guided to take them. Now, keepin mind that water can damage
some crystals, so think aboutthis. In where you place them,
(17:01):
you may need a spot that's notgoing to be as vulnerable to a
lot of Morning Dew, for example.
So just think about that. Also,if there's animals roaming
around, is it going to be in anarea where someone might knock
it down and damage the crystalin some way? So think about
those things in your placementas well, and also following your
(17:21):
intuition for where yourcrystals want to be. Maybe some
want to be in one area and somewant to be in another area. So
just follow what you feel guidedto. There's no real right or
wrong there. As you find thatspecial spot, you're going to
lay each crystal out and speak ablessing over it. Just really
hold an intention in your heart.
(17:44):
And maybe you say somethinglike, Thank you for the healing
that you've offered, thank youfor your beautiful light. I hope
that you recharge, recharge withlight and with clarity and with
love, something that just feelsright for you. Maybe you express
your gratitude for what thatparticular crystal does in your
household or does in your life.
But whatever it is, just give ita little bit of a blessing as
(18:07):
you set it down and set yourintention and then let them soak
up the moonlight overnight. Youdon't have to grab them
immediately before sunrise. Somepeople like to they're, you
know, maybe a little bit puristand want to rush out there and
set their alarm and grab itbefore the sunrise comes up. But
really, you know, my experiencehas been that crystals are not
(18:28):
too bothered by that oncethey're nice and charged,
they've already set thatintention and they're already
radiating out that energy. Butthere are crystals who are
photosensitive, who aresensitive to light, and it can
damage their color if they areset out for a long period of
time. So you don't want to leavethem for very long outside in
the bright sunlight. So don'tjust set them out to charge in
(18:53):
the moonlight and then leavethem for a few days, because
that can definitely cause someissues in the color and clarity
of your crystal. So you know,it's helpful to understand those
things too. And you can also addin other elements that might
feel good. So you could set themon a piece of Selenite in
addition to wherever they'resitting, so that they can get a
(19:14):
little bit of extra cleansingfrom that master Selenite
crystal. You can use soundhealing elements like a tuning
fork or tinctures if you haveaccess to them, or you could,
you know, before you actuallyset them out, you could gently
smudge them with the smoke tocleanse and help them to release
and to let go before thecharging but follow whatever
(19:37):
feels good for you, and whatalso feels natural for your
abilities, for your intuition,what feels like your true
vibration. You're going to getsome direction around that to
really make this yours, ofcourse. Now a couple of things
to think about. Make sure thatyou check the weather, some
crystals like I said, Don't lovemoisture, and they're not going.
(19:58):
To do well, if they get rainedon, and certainly if it gets a
lot of rain, it could sweep yourcrystals away. So you want to
just be extra cautious and extraaware of what the weather is
doing. If you think that it'sgoing to rain or it might rain
hard, make sure that you placeit, perhaps in a window sill,
rather than placing it outsidedirectly where it might be
(20:20):
exposed to something that couldbe harmful. Now, if you're a
part of my inner circle, youknow that we track things like
the full moon, the new mooneclipses. We track things like
the mercury retrograde and soforth. Pay attention to what
kind of energy is cyclingthrough our atmosphere and
influencing things as well, sothat we can be prepared for that
(20:43):
energy. There are some fullmoons and eclipses that happen
at the same time or on the sameday, and you might be wondering,
oh, is that a great time tocharge my crystals? Am I going
to get some extra juicy Eclipseenergy that's going to do some
interesting things to mycrystals as well. It's important
to address this, becauseeclipses are like spiritual wild
(21:05):
cards. They can bring very swifttransformation in our life. They
can bring karmic shifts, majorreveals, and that energy can be
very, very very intense. Youknow, track how you're feeling
during eclipses and what'shappening in your life around
(21:26):
that time, to just become moreaware of how intense and
somewhat turbulent that energycan feel. I think turbulent is a
good expression, because it canfeel like you're bouncing around
a little bit with all of thatthat is coming to the surface,
it's generally considered notadvised to charge crystals
during Eclipse energy unless youhad a very special inspiration
(21:50):
and direct direction to do so.
Most of these crystals don'twant to be exposed to that level
of shake up, because it is sointense and so turbulent, and
it's not a very consistentenergy. It's not a very
relaxing, peaceful, healing,supportive type of energy,
(22:13):
right? It's drawing a lot ofstuff to the surface. So that's
not always very helpful. Whenwe're talking about charging
crystals. We want to thinkabout, you know, giving our
crystals a great experience,like they're going to the day
spa, they're going out, or thenight spa, they're going
outside. They're getting chargedup, illuminated and coming out,
you know, looking fresh andfeeling great, whereas, if
(22:34):
they're going outside during aneclipse period, there's a lot of
things, and they're probablycoming back with, you know,
their hair sticking in alldifferent directions, a little
bit like Beatrix Lestrange fromHarry Potter. It's a little bit
like, whoa. What just happened?
So not the best time, unless youhave very strong direction.
Maybe you have a crystal thatdoes a lot of shadow work, or is
(22:57):
specific to working withtransformations, and you get a
strong, intuitive direction thatit needs to charge during the
eclipse, then I always think youfollow the direction that you
received more so than just thegeneral rule. I think you know,
our intuition is more powerfulthan anything. However, for the
most part, it's always best tomaybe sit out charging on the
(23:19):
eclipses, because it is notgoing to give you the same
outcome that you're generallylooking for when we are talking
about charging. So if you'venever charged your crystals
under the full moon, this is agreat opportunity for you to
just give it a go, maybe even toexperiment with it. Maybe you're
like, I don't know if the fullmoon really does a whole lot.
Maybe you just need a personalexperience with it. So choose
(23:42):
one of the crystals that maybeis feeling a little stagnant, is
feeling a little bit heavy, giveit a chance to charge outside
over that full moon period,following some of the things
that we've talked about, settingyour intention for that crystal
to be filled with love andclarity and focus and life
again, and then bring it back inand see how you feel about the
(24:02):
life force energy of that stoneafterwards. I think having
personal experiences are veryimportant, because it really
helps you understand there issomething to that powerful
energy. So pick a few specialstones, set a really nice
intention and let the moonlightjust do its thing. And if you
(24:23):
do, I'd just love to hear how itgoes. So you can tag me on
Instagram. You can send me amessage. I'm always curious
about what unfolds when we openourselves to the moon's wisdom,
when we listen to the naturalworld and we live in alignment
with these influences. So untilnext time, I hope that your
crystals sparkle a little bitbrighter, and may this upcoming
(24:44):
Full Moon help you to releasewhatever is heavy and make space
for what's true. All right. Manyblessings. The
