Maintaining Your Chakra Set

Regular care and maintenance are essential to keep your chakra set effective and vibrant. Here are some tips:

• Cleanse and Charge Regularly: Cleanse and charge your stones at least once a month or more frequently if you use them often.
• Intuitive Check-ins: Regularly check in with your intuition to see if any stones need replacing or additional attention.
