Exploring High-Energy Crystals: Which Crystals Have the Strongest Energy?

Common Characteristics of High-Energy Crystals:

High Vibrational Frequency:

The most energetic crystals typically have a high vibrational frequency that resonates with the human energy field, promoting the flow and purification of energy.

Bright Colors and Clarity:

Powerful energy crystals often exhibit bright colors and exceptional clarity. Their radiance can penetrate through the body and mind, bringing stimulation and purification of energy.

Unique Structures and Shapes:

Certain crystals possess unique structures and shapes that may contain special energy patterns, giving them a natural advantage in energy conduction and focus.

Why Should Crystals Be Demagnetized?

Crystals are spiritual gems known for their memory function. From being unearthed to undergoing processes like mining, transportation, processing, packaging, and display, natural crystals pass through many hands. The memory energies of others can be stored in them to some extent. To use them for oneself, it's essential to purify these memories, allowing one's own messages to resonate with the crystal and align with one's magnetic field. Since crystals absorb surrounding energies, it's necessary to demagnetize and cleanse them periodically. Whether newly purchased or worn for some time, crystals should be demagnetized to maintain their purity and true energy.

Crystal Purification Methods:

Crystal Cave or Cluster:

Place the crystal on a natural crystal cluster or inside a crystal cave for excellent purification. The continuous and stable vibrational energy emitted by the crystal cave or cluster effectively clears negative energies within the crystal and recharges it. Larger volumes of crystal caves or clusters yield stronger effects.

Aromatherapy:

This is one of the most commonly used methods. Place the crystal next to an aromatherapy burner and ignite pure essential oils (avoid those with added chemicals) for purification. However, this method may take longer, requiring continuous use for up to a month.

Sage or holy wood smoke purification:

Each time you light a small piece of sage or holy wood, smoke the crystal that needs to be purified for 2-10 minutes. You don't need to blow away the smoke deliberately. Wait for the sage or holy wood to stop burning on its own.

Sea Salt:

Submerge the crystal in a container filled with sea salt water. The natural purification effect of unprocessed coarse salt (pure natural sea salt) effectively cleanses the crystal. There's no strict time limit; most crystals can be cleansed overnight for 24 hours. After soaking, rinse the crystal thoroughly and allow it to air-dry naturally in sunlight or a cool place. This method is not suitable for crystals adorned with other decorations, such as those with gold-plated or silver accessories, or those with Chinese knot cord accessories, as these may corrode.

Mind Power:

Crystals can also be purified through blessings from a master or teacher. If your crystal has been blessed and cleansed by a master, it's considered very auspicious. When you have time, hold your beloved crystal and recite mantras or sutras like the Great Compassion Mantra or Heart Sutra. This method is incredibly effective for balancing crystal energies and personal cultivation. An additional benefit is that the crystal's frequency aligns completely with your own.

Stream Water:

Take the crystal to an unpolluted stream to cleanse it. The crystal can absorb positive natural energies from nature. Ensure to cleanse the crystal with flowing stream water directly; do not bring the stream water back home for cleansing the crystal, as that would defeat the purpose.

Running Water Cleaning:

Similar to the stream water purification method, you can go to an unpolluted mountain area to use running water for purification.

Earth Burial:

This is one of the most powerful methods. For example, if a crystal has been worn by someone who is ill at home, it is recommended to use the Earth Burial Method. After all, crystals are born from the earth. Returning the crystal to its original place in the earth provides the best purification effect. However, make sure it's uncontaminated soil. There's no time limit, but it's suggested to leave it buried for over a month for better results.

Temple Incense:

When visiting a temple, bring the crystal inside for purification, preferably a bustling temple with strong energy. The crystal can feel the blessing from the power of the temple. During worship, hold the crystal and incense together, express your wishes, and remember to ask for the crystal in your hand to receive blessings and protection from the deities. After worship, circle the crystal three times to the left and three times to the right over the temple's incense burner, then join your palms together and place the crystal in your hands, sincerely thanking the deities for their protection and blessings. This completes the entire purification process. This method also applies to deities worshipped at home, with similar effects.

Church Blessing:

Due to different religions, different purification methods can be used. Essentially, as long as it's a religion you sincerely believe in, it generally has a purifying effect. Friends of Catholic and Christian faiths can bring crystals to church to receive purification and blessings from God and the Lord. If possible, rinsing your crystal with holy water is also a fantastic purification power. Additionally, chanting gospel hymns or prayers during worship also has the same effect.

Music Purification:

Place the crystal in a peaceful and positive music environment. Like colors, music brings different magnetic fields and frequencies. Recommended genres include Buddhist music, Western gospel hymns, natural crystal music, etc., all of which can recharge and purify the crystal effectively.

Wearing Crystals Tips:

Crystals themselves possess certain magnetic fields, generally categorized into radiative and absorptive fields. Wearing a crystal on the left hand allows the left side to absorb its power (or one could say the crystal simultaneously absorbs external fields), while the right hand releases different magnetic fields.

Projective Crystals - Right Hand: Amber, Ametrine, Clear Quartz, Citrine, Garnet, Amethyst, Tiger's Eye, Green Phantom Quartz, Aquamarine, Red Jasper, Black Agate, Black Tourmaline (if lacking water element, can be worn on the left hand)

Absorptive Crystals - Left Hand: Amethyst, Moonstone, Rose Quartz, Aquamarine, Jade, Pearl, Shujin, Blue Lace Agate, Seraphinite, Celestite, Turquoise

Touch Inspection:

Natural crystals feel cool and oily; synthetic crystals lack this sensation.

Hardness Test:

Natural crystals are harder than synthetic crystals and glass; scratching them against each other will reveal differences.

Color Check:

Natural crystals have uneven coloration and may contain minor impurities or silk-like traces due to their natural formation. Synthetic crystals or glass have consistent color and high purity.

Q&A

Why do crystals become darker or brighter over time?

Crystals possess inherent energy. When a person wears a crystal and their energy is weaker or inferior to that of the crystal, the crystal nourishes the individual, or it can be said that the body absorbs the crystal's aura. Consequently, the crystal may become increasingly cloudy or dull. This is why crystal demagnetization is necessary—periodically clearing and cleansing the crystal restores its original energy and brightness.

Is it suitable to wear crystals while sleeping?

Crystals have a wide range of mystical effects, including aiding sleep for those who often suffer from insomnia or poor sleep quality. However, not all crystals are suitable for sleeping. For instance, crystals with strong energy like Titanium Quartz or Amethyst may not be suitable because their powerful energy can cause increased alertness or difficulty sleeping. Unless you have a strong personal magnetic field that can balance these crystals, it's advisable to avoid them for sleeping. Apart from these exceptions, crystals like Obsidian, Amethyst, Moonstone, Aquamarine, and Rhodonite are generally suitable for wearing during sleep.

It's important to note that not everyone is suitable for wearing crystals while sleeping. Pregnant women and children are advised against it as the natural crystal's aura can affect their growth. People with weak health or poor aura should prioritize physical exercise before considering wearing high-energy crystal gemstones regularly, akin to how patients with stomach diseases should eat less and more often. Ideally, remove crystals before bedtime, cleanse and demagnetize them overnight, and wear them again the next day.

If a crystal breaks? How should it be handled?

If you're wearing a single crystal ornament, such as a pendant, and it breaks, even if it's just a minor internal crack, it signifies that the crystal can no longer continue to bless you. It should be replaced immediately. For crystal bracelets with minor cracks in beads, replace the affected beads with new ones. Store the broken crystal in a red bag or envelope at home, or bury it under a large tree to return it to the earth.

❤️Special Note:

Natural crystals may contain cotton fibers, ice cracks, mineral deficiencies, black spots, and surface imperfections caused during the polishing process. Individual beads in bracelets may also have slight variations, which we call imperfect beauty.

Just like loving a person, when you appreciate their strengths, you also accept their flaws! No one is perfect, and neither are natural gemstones formed over millions of years.

Please understand these characteristics of natural crystals and cherish them better. Believe that each crystal belonging to you can bring you good luck!
