Physically turn yourself to face the direction of the presiding Angel. For example: if asking Raphael for help with healing you would then face to the East. If you don't know the direction of the Angel, turn and face the direction you think the Angel would be.
While making intentions clear, say your invocation [prayer] out loud and directly to the palm of your hand that contains the crystals. For Example: "I wish to charge these crystals with healing light and love. Thanks be to Archangel Raphael for your assistance and eternal guidance. Blessings."
*NOTE: This can also be used to charge your intentions into candles and incense.
*NOTE: For strengthened healing energies and you are a Reiki practitioner -- draw symbols and Reiki item[s] "after" you have charged it.
