Introduction
The practice of crystal charging, the energizing of crystals, has gained immense popularity in recent years. Crystals are said to possess unique healing and metaphysical properties, and charging them is believed to enhance their effectiveness.
Sun Charging
Sun charging involves exposing crystals to sunlight for several hours. The sun’s rays are thought to activate the crystals’ energy, leaving them imbued with positive vibrations.
Moon Charging
Moon charging, on the other hand, utilizes the moon’s energy to charge crystals. The waxing moon is said to be ideal for charging crystals meant for growth and abundance, while the waning moon is suitable for crystals associated with detoxification and release.
