Have you been working on perfecting your manifesting routine and still feel like something is a little off? Or maybe you just want to add a little supercharge to your already incredible and thriving practice?
Whether you already have a crystal collection or you’re brand new to the concept, these next few tips will teach you exactly how to program your crystal and help you manifest anything and everything your heart desires!
Step 1: Choose Your Manifesting Crystal
When deciding which crystal to use for manifesting, it’s crucial that you pick a crystal that YOU feel connected to. One that calls out to you and makes you feel special.
- Citrine - For abundance
- Rose quartz - For love
- Amethyst - For wisdom
- Carnelian - For creativity
- And quartz -For absolutely everything!
These are just a few of our favorites - but a manifesting crystal can be any shape, size, or color you want. Just pick the one that feels the best to you! Let your intuition guide you and don’t be afraid to listen to it.
Whether you're attracted to a crystal for its color, energy, look, shape, size, ect. Then that’s the one that you should go with! You know yourself, your desires, and your energy the best - own it!

Step 2 - Cleanse Your Crystal
Once you’ve chosen the perfect crystal, it’s time to clean it - both physically and energetically! Based on the crystal you choose the cleaning process may vary slightly.
For crystals that are softer and sensitive to water, cleansing your crystal with sage is a great way to clean it and release off any unwanted lingering energy.
For crystals that are harder, running a crystal through water is an extremely effective way to cleanse and purify the energy. While sink water will work just fine, cleansing your crystal in a natural water source will allow it to pick up on some of the already amazing organic energy that nature gives off.
Step 3: Set the Intention for Your Crystal
While this might seem a little out there at first, in order to set an intention for your crystal just ask it! Yes, you heard us right. Ask your crystal if it will be your manifesting crystal. We know it seems a little odd, but it’s essential to have a mutual relationship with nature!
Whether you say it silently or out loud, hold your crystal up to your heart and ask it “will you be my manifesting crystal?” Energetically the crystal will agree, and reset its intention.
Step 4: Bond with & Charge Your Crystal
Now that you’ve set an intention for your crystal it’s time to charge it! The sun and moon’s rays are the perfect way to energize and energetically clear crystals. Simply find a safe place to leave your crystals in the sunlight or moonlight for at least 24 hours. It’s important to check which charge is best for your crystal as some crystals colors may fade when left in the sun too long. If that’s the case, then bring your crystal in during the day and continue charging it the next night.

Step 5: Program Your Crystal
Once you have all of your crystals back inside, it’s time to charge them with intentions. Share your desires with your crystal, let it know what you want and ask it to help you manifest your dreams. This practice can be repeated as often as you like, and anytime you have a new desire!
Another great way to charge a crystal with intentions is to write your desires out on a piece of paper and set the crystal on top of it or hold it in your hand as you visualize your desired manifestations. Get as creative as you like and have fun with it! There is no right or wrong way to charge them, let your intuition be your guide.
