How to cleanse and charge self love crystals
Self-love stones absorb the emotions you process with them, so cleanse them whenever they feel heavy. Moonlight is a tender choice, and selenite offers a quick reset. Rose quartz can take a gentle water rinse, while amethyst prefers shade over sun. As you cleanse, pause to set an intention of kindness toward yourself — the ritual matters as much as the stone.
