It's important to take care of your crystal, if it's
to function properly. A lot has been written on this subject, but after
the trying a variety of methods, we have found that leaving the crystal
overnight submerged in still mineral water suits Bandbergs best - recharging
their energies.
In our experience, warm water with sea salt is too severe - salt is
a crystaline substance and could enter the crystal through a damaged area.
Another good technique is to bury the crystal in earth for 24 hours.
After a day in the ground, you should unearth the crystal and rinse it
with mineral water.
It's also worth taking note of the lunar cycle. Crystals have always been
associated with the Moon and letting them soak up moonlight magnifies
their powers. Try re-charging your crystal - hold your Brandberg under
flowing mineral water and let it dry out under the rays of a full moon.
It's also possible to sit quietly with your Brandberg and meditate on
what would be best for your stone. You will know what to do by listening
to you inner voice.
Visualisation and affirmation
of purpose helps empower your crystal with your own specific programming.
This can be anything you choose it to be, but the traditional functions
are connected withmeditation,
protection and healing.
