How to Re-Energize Rudraksha at Home?

Rudraksha have been used widely for bringing peace and balance in life, enhancing your well-being by improving professional and personal development, and making your life stress-free. 

Hello, I’m Jhivansh, and I have personally experienced the power and impact of rudraksha in my life. With my expertise, I have helped others enhance their lives through its benefits.

One of the most important aspects of rudraksha is its maintenance, and re-energization is a part of it. 

In this blog, I’ll explain why re-energization is necessary, how to do it, and how you can maximize its benefits to ensure the rudraksha continues to work effectively on the body’s chakras.

Why is Re-Energization of Rudraksha Required?

Without proper re-energization, a rudraksha loses its alignment with the body and mind, much like a clock with a dead battery, with the difference that the rudraksha still works at its normal potential. Re-energization is especially crucial for those who wear it but don’t practice regular chanting. 

Here’s why re-energization matters –

• Loss of connection with body energy due to irregular chanting (Jaap)
• Fragmentation of body energy due to intimacy and physical contact 
• Natural weakening of rudraksha energized power over time
• Ineffective on the body chakras 

How to Re-Energize Rudraksha at Home

Re-energization process is simple to perform if the below-mentioned steps are followed correctly. Before I begin the process, I make sure of some aspects. I recommend you to make a note of these as well. These are: 

• Relieve tension from mind and body. 
• Get a clean bath before energization
• Choose a quiet place to perform energization 
• Don’t be in any hurry 

Once these steps are followed, I feel myself as ready for the re-energization process.

Step 1. Prepare rudraksha 

Before I begin the energization process, I treat the rudraksha with utmost respect. I place it on a clean copper plate or a fresh piece of cloth. 

This step is important because it shows my devotion towards rudraksha and makes it more pure and powerful to work on myself. I also choose a clean and sacred space that allows the rudraksha to absorb positive vibrations without any outside interference.

Step 2. Cleansing and activating the rudraksha

This is the most important step, and I perform this step with maximum calmness and no hurry. The whole re-energization process is slow, and I recommend that you not hurry any steps below. 

• Purification – It can be done with raw cow milk or holy water (Gangajal). Pour the same in a bowl and place the rudraksha in it. As I do this, I softly chant “Om Namah Shivay” to invite divine blessings.
• Applying vibhuti – After cleaning the rudraksha, I soak it completely dry and apply a small amount of vibhuti. You can even use kumkum if vibhuti is not available. Vibhuti enhances the connection of rudraksha with me.
• Chanting to infuse energy – Next, I chant a mantra to invoke divine energy. The number of times I chant the mantra depends on my intention, but usually I repeat it 108 times. I recommend using the mantra “Om Namah Shivay” to re-energize the rudraksha.
• Allowing the energy to settle – Once I finish chanting, I let the rudraksha rest in my hands for a while. This step allows the divine energy to fully integrate into the bead, enhancing its spiritual power.

Step 3. Set a clear intention

I close my eyes, hold the rudraksha close to my heart, and set a strong intention. Whether I seek peace, strength, or guidance, this moment strengthens my bond with the rudraksha. 

During re-energization, hold your rudraksha close to yourself and reflect on the purpose you had when you first wore it. This practice helps the rudraksha connect to your energy and understand you better.

Step 4. Express gratitude

Once the energization process is complete, I offer my prayers to Lord Shiva. I place fresh flowers or fruits before Lord Shiva.

I also take a moment to express my thoughts, wishes, and appreciation for his divine guidance in the betterment of my life.

Step 5. Let the rudraksha absorb the energy

After the activation, I let the rudraksha rest undisturbed for 24 hours. This gives it time to fully absorb the divine energy and align with the energy of my body. 

Just remember – patience is key – rushing this process can weaken its power.

Step 6. Wear the energized rudraksha

Once 24 hours have passed, I wear the rudraksha close to my skin, usually as a necklace or bracelet. This direct contact strengthens my connection with its energy, helping me feel more balanced, protected, and spiritually aligned throughout my day.

By following this sacred process, I ensure that my rudraksha is fully activated and ready to support me on my spiritual journey. The peace and positivity it brings into my life are truly invaluable.

How to Maximize the Benefits of Rudraksha After Re-energization

Many simple tips could enhance the benefits of re-energizing the rudraksha. I follow them myself and recommend doing the same to you. These are: 

• I always ensure to wear the rudraksha close to my skin. When the rudraksha is in direct contact with the skin, it helps to maintain a steady energy flow.
• Rudraksha absorbs energy from the person handling it. To preserve its purity, I  don’t let others touch my rudraksha.
• Even if it’s just for 10-15 minutes a day, I have a habit of practicing regular chanting of mantras like “Om Namah Shivay” to help me keep my rudraksha energized.
• Healthy and clean lifestyle enhances the effectiveness of the rudraksha by maintaining a strong aura and natural body energy flow.
