How Do You Activate Carnelian Crystals?
"Activating" a crystal really means that you are charging it with positive energy. Crystals are powered off the energy of their surrounding environments. This means that the energy a crystal comes into contact with tends to stick around and influence the ability of that crystal to heal.
During packaging and shipping, your element might come into contact with negative energy that will follow it to your front door. This is completely natural and nothing to fear. You can use one of the cleansing methods below to rid your Carnelian crystal jewelry of negative energy:
- Wash it with soapy water. Carnelian crystals are water-safe. You can use warm, soapy water to cleanse your crystal fidget jewelry of negative energy. You can use luke-warm water from the tap and a tiny dab of soap to wash your Carnelian crystal. Make sure you rinse off all the soap and completely dry your crystal jewelry before wearing it.
- Charge it in the sunlight. You can also use the power of the sun to charge your Carnelian crystal with positive energy. You can either find a sunny spot in your home or put your crystal jewelry outside in the sun. Make sure you don't expose your crystal to the sun for more than hour. Sunlight exposure for long periods of time can alter the color of your crystal jewelry.
Every month or so you will want to engage in one of these methods again to cleanse your element of any negative energy it might have accumulated during everyday use. A good way to determine if it’s time for a cleanse is if your element appears cloudy or dirty. You could also cleanse it if you feel like you’ve been in contact with a lot of negative energy lately.
Practice Crystal Healing With Carnelian
Now that you’ve gotten rid of any negative energy that might have followed your Carnelian, it’s time to start putting it to use.
The first step of engaging in any crystal healing is to keep an open mind about its abilities. Working through any skepticisms you might have about your element will help you harness the element’s full potential.
Once you’ve opened your mind to the power of crystal healing, you will want to set an intention that is specific and related to the properties and associations mentioned earlier in this post.
For Carnelian, you might consider setting an intention to work on letting go of grudges and accepting what you have experienced in the past. Another intention that you could try would be to unlock your full creative potential and to find inspiration throughout your daily life.
Once you’ve decided what your intention will be, hold your Carnelian in your hands and speak that intention into your element. Repeat it a few times to really solidify for the crystal how you intend to use it. When you wear your Carnelian ring, keep your intention in mind and make decisions that align with it.
