Some people find it valuable to use crystals as tools to help them better connect with God and his angels in prayer or meditation. Let’s look at Prayer To Cleanse Crystals, how to cleanse crystals with incense sticks and how to cleanse and charge crystals. That’s because crystals contain energy that may help attract or magnify the energy that angels project. Here’s how you can use angel crystals when you pray or meditate:
Choose a crystal that corresponds to the type of energy frequency within which the angels whom you want to contact work. The different frequencies are organized according to the different types of angel light ray colors. Talking about; How to cleanse and charge crystals, How to cleanse crystals with incense sticks.
Prayer To Cleanse Crystals
So, for example, if you’re planning to focus on the topic of seeking guidance to make a wise decision about something, it makes sense to choose a crystal that vibrates within the same frequency as the yellow angel light ray. That ray, which Archangel Jophiel leads, features angels who specialize in helping people with that same topic.
Since crystals store energy from whatever they have been in contact with previously, be sure to cleanse your crystal before using it in prayer. You can cleanse your crystal of any negative energy it may have previously accumulated by putting it into contact with a natural element, such as by setting it out in direct sunlight, burying it in soil, or rinsing it with water before using it as a prayer tool.
Purify your motives, too. Be sure to keep in mind that crystals are only tools to help you better connect with angels at their energy frequencies; they’re not meant to be objects to use for trying to manipulate the universe. Don’t place your trust in crystals themselves. Instead, place your trust in the source of their energy: God, who created the crystals for you to use. Seek God’s purposes for your life, knowing that he loves you completely and wants only the best for you.

Dedicate Your Crystal to the Angel You Plan to Contact
You may dedicate your crystal to the angel you plan to communicate with during prayer or meditation, such as your guardian angel or one of the archangels. While this step is just an option, it can help strengthen your connection with that particular angel.
Since your guardian angel is always with you, it makes sense to remind yourself of that by dedicating a crystal to the closest angel to you — the one who hears all of your prayers and meditations. “An extremely effective way of carrying your guardian angel around with you everywhere you go is to charge a crystal or gemstone with your guardian angel’s energy,” writes Richard Webster in his book Spirit Guides & Angel Guardians: Contact Your Invisible Helpers. “Virtually any gemstone will do for this, so if you have a gemstone that is important to you for some reason, use it. Perhaps a friend gave you a gemstone or crystal that you particularly like, or maybe you bought one simply because it seemed special. These crystals and gemstones are ideal.”
You may also want to dedicate a crystal to a particular archangel who specializes in helping people with the particular type of concern you have. In their book 44 Ways to Talk to Your Angel, Liz Dean and Jayne Wallace write: “If you have dedicated your crystal to a particular archangel, know that this crystal will help you connect strongly with that angel. For example, if you dedicate your stone to Archangel Michael, the angel of freedom and protection, you could hold the crystal whenever you need to stand your ground.”
Use Your Crystal While Praying or Meditating
Hold or touch your crystal so that its energy is in physical contact with your body. That will enable the crystal’s energy to influence the molecular structure of your body, making it easier for you to perceive energy that is attuned to the same vibration as your crystal. As a result, you may be able to more clearly connect with angels who work in the light ray that vibrates at the same frequency as your crystal.
While you’re in contact with your crystal, go to a quiet place where you can be alone and free of distractions. Then relax and spend some time meditating on God and the angels and their love for you as well as your love for them.
When you’re ready, begin to communicate with God’s angels about your concerns, either out loud or in your mind. Listen to whatever messages God and the angels may choose to send to you, and thank them for communicating with you!
How to Cleanse Crystals
October’s full moon will rise Thursday, October 5th, just after sunset and set around sunrise, so this is the only night in the month when the moon is in the sky all night long. Some Native American tribes referred to October’s moon as the Hunter’s Moon, as it was the time to go hunting in preparation for winter. Like the Harvest Moon, the Hunters Moon is also particularly bright and long in the sky, giving hunters the opportunity to stalk prey at night. Probably because of the threat of winter looming close, the Hunters Moon is generally accorded special honor, historically serving as an important feast day in both Western Europe and among many Native American tribes. On this magical evening of October, witness the restorative energy of the full moon, create a sacred space for yourself, release what no longer serves you and set intentions for the month ahead.
Crystals are tools that I use in my daily self-care practice and maybe you do too. From the Moonstone ring on my finger to the amethyst I keep under my pillow, to the Hematite in my pocket to the Moldavia pendant around my neck. Crystals are a huge part of my life and I feel deeply connected and inspired by connecting with them daily. Making sure your crystals are in top shape for healing is as simple as the ritual I am going to share with you. When the moon is full, she is at her brightest, making it the most powerful time to cleanse and renew your beauty. Crystals will hold energy they take in from you and their environment so it’s a good idea to purify them with the energy of each full moon. I will explain the how’s in a moment.
But have you ever wondered how crystals work? Well, I’m writing this to explain my understanding of what crystals are, what their power is, and why crystals are significant at all. Crystals are an expressed form of a really basic, but really perfect, balanced form of consciousness, belonging to the mineral realm of the Earth. Just as we humans are expressions of our own human consciousness, and plants and trees are also an expression of a slightly different but no less living form of consciousness, we are all existing and alive on planet Earth at the moment. How amazing!
We manifest physically: we have bodies, but we also exist on other, etheric levels—we have our thoughts and feelings and a spiritual existence, which science can’t really categorize but which we know is true. To go a little deeper, we have collectively manifested ourselves. No one else did it for us. It’s ancestral, it’s genetic; most of the process we don’t feel we are controlling, but we are constantly manifesting every single aspect of our bodies, our realities, and ourselves through our consciousness!
How To Cleanse And Charge Crystals
Plants do the same; they manifest themselves from seed to maturity, creating their ‘bodies’ according to their genetics and situational variants. And so do crystals! We don’t easily perceive crystals as growing, as their timeframe for change is so much more enormously vast than our own, but they are very much alive. They are manifesting themselves through their own form of consciousness.
All living things have an electromagnetic field (EMF) radiating out of them, which interacts with the EMF of other living things or non-living things, like electrical appliances. It is the nature of life, as we know it, to expand, grow, and increase its awareness, so when we are in the presence of someone or something that is vibrating at a higher frequency than we are, our EMF wants to ‘catch up’. Our own frequency will self-adjust, which will then slightly affect our level of consciousness. We may feel better, gain some knowledge, or be healthier, or the change may go unnoticed.
When we are in the presence of a crystal, formed absolutely, pristinely, intentionally and perfectly from a consciousness equally as perfect, its EMF emits that vibration, and that’s what will interact with and affect our own. To put it simply, when we are around crystals, they lift our vibration. When we consciously interact with crystals, they really lift our vibration! Each different type of crystal emits its own frequency and there are countless variants. They can affect different forms of illness within the physical and emotional bodies, energize or soothe specific chakra energies and enhance mental and even spiritual understanding.
Another vital quality of crystals is their ability to be programmed and store memory. Marcel Vogel, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who spent his entire career conducting research for IBM, made this discovery. He discovered the capacity that quartz crystals have for accepting programs and for storing and transmitting information in the form of silicon chips (molecularly, quartz is silicon dioxide). Silicon chips are used today in virtually all computing technology, so in this form, we know that quartz is activated when it has electrical energy running through it, like when you turn on your computer or phone. Magick! But Vogal took this one experiment further. He theorized, and then proved, that quartz can be programmed and will transmit information with conscious intention alone, without the need for electrical circuitry.
Healers are using the innate, purifying energies of certain crystals to balance and clear people’s energetic fields, in turn healing all types of sickness and enabling them to get on and grow into their lives. Around the world, people are programming crystals and sending them to parts of the Earth that are in desperate need of healing influences: Fukushima, for example. The programmed crystals act like mini transmitters of healing intent, and radiation is clearing!
There is so much more to using crystals than I have space to write about here, but if you are interested, I urge you to go to a shop or get a few books and do some research on your own. If you didn’t know, we do sell a variety of crystals and specimens at our Lakewood and Rocky River locations! My go-to guide is always ‘The Crystal Bible’ by Judy Hall. Crystals often seem to come and go. You may inexplicably lose a favorite or discover one you’ve never seen before in your pocket. They have a tendency to do this! It is as though they have a sixth sense, knowing just when you need a particular kind of support or when somebody else does. So if this happens, just go with it, for, as is often the case, there is probably more going on than appears on the surface. Now back to the goods…
The Ritual
Before starting, you may want to clear the room and yourself of extra or unwanted energies by burning a sage bundle, palo santo, or incense. At the start of my cleansing ritual, I like to gather all of my babies, checking my purse, car, pockets, nightstand and wherever else they may have wandered over the course of the last month.
After I have hunted and gathered to make sure no one is missing, I like to cleanse or smudge the entire bunch with palo santo or sage. Smudging releases certain elements into the air via the smoke, which can effectively remove bad or built-up energies. You can use a feather or your hand to direct the smoke around them. I like to pick up each piece and hold them directly above the smoke, rotating around each side to make sure they are completely engulfed in the smoke.
The next step is to physically clean your crystals with water. You can do this in any way. Let them soak together in a bowl of water or rinse them under the faucet. If you live near a body of water, I highly recommend taking them to the nearest lake, river or stream and washing them there. Think about how much better you feel after a warm, relaxing bath. We’re just like our crystals; in order to function at our optimal vibration, we need to take care of ourselves consistently.
After washing and drying your crystals, set them out on the earth for their full moon bath. If you are unable to place them directly on the ground, any natural surface will work. I have often placed them in a basket and set them out on the front porch, using my window sill or the patio table. Anyone will do! Leave them out under the moonlight and out until the morning. In the morning pull in many of your crystals, like Amethyst, Aquamarine, Citrine, Fluorite, Rose Quartz, and Smoky Quartz for example. They will fade in direct sunlight so I charge my crystals just for the initial sunrise and then pull them back inside.
The next phase is my favorite and most important! It’s even more important than naming what we wanted to release initially. Once you have all of your crystals back inside, charge them with your intentions. Charging crystals with your energy helps them stay focused. You can charge all of your crystals at once by imagining them soaked in healing energy or a bright white light. To program a crystal for specific use or with specific energies, sit quietly away from distractions, strong electrical devices and external energies, then hold the crystal in front of you, clear your mind and focus on the stone. Concentrate on the specific energy that you wish to program the crystal with and ‘transmit’ the energies and thoughts from your mind directly to the stone.
Be clear and direct when doing this and don’t try to confuse or overload the crystal with different thoughts and energies. Do this until you feel happy that the required thoughts and energies have been transmitted to the stone. They can also be charged individually or in groups. It’s really up to you; there is no right or wrong way to charge them. Let your intuition be your guide. Once they are charged, it’s best to not let others handle them (unless you are charging specifically for others), as they will absorb the energy of other people.
I like to close the cleansing and charging ritual with thank-you prayers. A simple thank you to Mother Earth for the ways she supports our lives, and a humble bow to the crystals for all of the work that they do. Acknowledging all of the elements that came together to make these healing tools seals in their healing vibrations and reminds us to stay focused on what matters most to our hearts.
