Using Crystals:
Carry them: Keep crystals in your pocket, purse, or bra for their energy to be close to you throughout the day. Choose a crystal based on the intention you want to amplify, like amethyst for calmness or citrine for abundance.

Place them in your environment: Create a crystal grid by arranging them in a specific pattern to focus energy on a particular intention. Crystals on your desk can promote focus, while those by your bedside can encourage restful sleep.

Meditation and visualization: Hold a crystal during meditation or visualization to focus your intention and amplify its specific energy.
 
Cleansing Crystals:
 
Running water: Hold your crystals under cool running water for a few minutes, visualizing negative energy washing away. Not all crystals tolerate water, so research a specific crystal's cleansing needs before submerging it.

Moonlight or sunlight: Leave your crystals bathed in moonlight (especially during a full moon) or sunlight (depending on the crystal) for several hours to recharge and cleanse their energy. Some crystals may fade in sunlight, so be mindful.

Smudging: Use sage or another cleansing herb to create smoke and pass your crystals through the smoke. This is a traditional method for clearing negativity.

Sound: Singing bowls or tuning forks are believed to cleanse crystals with their vibrations.
