There are a few things you probably take with you on every date: Your phone, your wallet, your keys, your face mask... Let me suggest one more: a crystal. Crystals act as conductors and amplifiers that transmit and transform our energy (and potentially the energy of the people around us). They are mood changers, energy lifters, and power boosters. Now, who wouldn’t want that kind of cosmic help?

The size of the crystal is irrelevant. Big or small, clusters or polished stones, jewelry or raw chunks—whatever form your crystal takes, it will still possess the same vibration.

How to Prepare Your Crystal for a Date

Once you’ve chosen your crystal (more on that in a minute), you need to prep your sparkly wing man for the night ahead. This involves cleansing it. You can rinse it under running water, pop on the windowsill to soak up the moonlight overnight, place it next to a piece of quartz for an hour or so, or simply apply a ~cleansing breath~: Just blow on your crystal with the intention of neutralizing it of all unwanted energy.

Once ~clean~, you need to activate and charge your crystal. Hold your crystal as you inhale through your nose while imagining a beautiful golden light filling your lungs; then breathe out through your mouth with a gently forceful breath onto your crystal. Repeat this several times (like blowing out a candle), visualizing the crystal filling up with powerful, golden energy. Think about your intention or what quality you need as you do this. For a mega boost, leave your crystal in sunlight for an hour or two after doing this. You're ready to rock (heh) and roll!

How to Use Your Crystal's Energy On Your Date

There are a few ways you can bring your crystal power to the party. Like:

Make a crystal elixir

First, check if your crystal is water safe. If it is—and if it's not a piece of jewelry—place it in a glass of water, let it soak up sunlight or moonlight for at least 12 hours, remove the crystal, and drink the water while visualizing your date going just as you want it to.

Bathe with it

Add tumbled stones to your bathwater (just remember to fish them out afterwards!) or place them around your bath rim, pointing towards you. Daydream about the ideal date as you take your bath, and imagine your crystals filling you with confidence and energy.

Meditate with it

Before your date, place your crystal on your heart and visualize your dream scenario. Imagine colored light (matching the color of your crystal) swirling out from the crystal and into your body through your heart.

Take it with you

Tuck your crystal in your bra, place it in your pocket (the left-hand side—this is the receiving side of the body), or even wear it as jewelry. Then, grab your face mask and go!
