How to Cleanse and Charge Your Crystals Under a Full Moon
The Full Moon on March 15th, 2025, was not just any full moon - it was also a lunar eclipse, making it a powerful time for energy cleansing, renewal, and manifestation.
Full moons are the perfect opportunity to release stagnant energy, recharge your spiritual tools, and realign with your intentions. One of the best ways to harness this lunar energy is by cleansing and charging your crystals.
In this blog, we’ll cover a step-by-step guide to moon cleansing, alternative methods if the sky is cloudy or rainy, and the best crystals to charge under the moonlight.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cleansing and Charging Your Crystals Under the Full Moon
1. Choose the Crystals You Want to Cleanse
Not all crystals need frequent cleansing, but if you’ve been using them regularly, they may hold onto negative or stagnant energy. Gather the crystals you feel could use a refresh.
2. Find a Suitable Outdoor or Indoor Spot
The best way to charge crystals is by placing them directly under the moonlight, either outside in a safe place or on a windowsill that receives moon exposure.
• If placing them outside, choose a secure spot where they won’t be disturbed.
• If placing them inside, use a window that faces the moon to ensure they still absorb its energy.
3. Set an Intention for Your Crystals
Before leaving your crystals to charge, hold them in your hands and set an intention. You might say something like: “I cleanse and recharge these crystals under the full moon, allowing them to release all stagnant energy and be filled with fresh, positive vibrations.”
4. Leave Them Overnight
Let your crystals bathe in the moonlight overnight. Even if the moon isn’t fully visible due to clouds, its energy is still present and working.
5. Retrieve and Use Your Recharged Crystals
In the morning, collect your crystals and thank the moon for its energy. Your crystals are now refreshed and ready to support you!
Alternative Methods If It’s Cloudy or Raining
If the weather isn’t ideal for direct moon charging, don’t worry! You can still cleanse and charge your crystals in other ways:
1. Window Charging
Even if the moon is hidden behind clouds, its energy is still strong. Placing your crystals on a windowsill overnight will allow them to absorb the moon’s vibrations.
2. Selenite Charging
Selenite is a self-cleansing crystal that also cleanses and recharges other stones. Place your crystals on a Selenite plate or near a Selenite wand to purify them.
3. Sound Cleansing
Use a singing bowl, tuning fork, or bells to cleanse your crystals with sound vibrations, which break up and clear negative energy.
4. Visualisation Method
Hold your crystals and visualize a bright white light surrounding them, clearing away any negativity and filling them with fresh energy.
5. Smoke Cleansing
Burn sage, palo santo, or incense and pass your crystals through the smoke to clear and reset their energy.
Which Crystals Benefit the Most from Moon Energy?
While all crystals can be charged under the full moon, some are particularly attuned to lunar energy and benefit the most from this practice:
Moonstone – Intuition & Emotional Balance Since Moonstone is deeply connected to lunar energy, it becomes even more powerful when charged under the full moon. It enhances intuition, emotional healing, and spiritual growth.
Clear Quartz – Amplification & Clarity As the “Master Healer,” Clear Quartz absorbs, stores, and amplifies energy. A full moon recharge helps it remain clear and ready to enhance your manifestations.
Amethyst – Spiritual Protection & Higher Awareness Amethyst connects to higher consciousness and intuition. Charging it under the moon strengthens its calming and protective energy.
Selenite – Purification & Light Energy Selenite is naturally self-cleansing, but a full moon boost enhances its ability to clear negativity and raise vibrations.
Labradorite – Transformation & Magic Known as the stone of transformation, Labradorite benefits from lunar energy by increasing its ability to awaken intuition and guide you through change.
The Full Moon on March was a powerful time to cleanse and recharge your crystals as is every full moon, even if you can’t see the moon due to clouds. By using moonlight, alternative cleansing methods, and setting clear intentions, you can refresh your crystals and align them with your spiritual journey.
