Recharging Stations and Recharging and Cleaning Instructions
Elemental Stone Therapies® layouts are programmed to support your healing journey and must be recharged frequently to keep the energy moving smoothly through them. One hour in direct sunlight or moonlight is sufficient to recharge most pieces, but some days the weather doesn’t cooperate.
A Recharging Station is specially prepared granite or marble and is very helpful for those times when there just doesn’t seem to be enough sunlight available to recharge your layouts. You simply leave this specially prepared granite or marble square in an indoor location within a few feet of a window where it absorbs as much sunlight, natural daylight, and moonlight as possible throughout the day. For the Recharging Station, it doesn't matter what kind of windows you have. If it is near a window where light is shining in, it will get what it needs to do its recharging job. When your layouts need to be recharged, lay them on the Recharging Station and let them sit for at least 1 hour. (It may take a bit longer if charging several layouts at the same time).
Before first use or after long storage, it's best to let the Recharging Station sit in daylight and/or room light for 1 full day.
Note: Additional shipping charges for Recharging Stations will be determined based on the size of your order.
REMINDER: if you have a Recharging Station it doesn’t matter if you have double pane windows. The Recharging Station will work with any kind of windows, and is meant to be placed inside where it will utilize whatever daylight through windows or room light is available.

Recharging and Cleaning Instructions
RECHARGING IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS!
Elemental Stone Therapies® layouts are programmed to support you in your healing journey. To continue doing so they must be recharged frequently. Recharging keeps the energy moving smoothly through them.
Recharge for one hour or more in direct sunlight or moonlight. On a windowsill works fine if you have older, single pane windows, or if the window is open. Double or triple pane windows block UV light, so layouts won’t recharge properly. On overcast days, recharge in available daylight for at least four hours. Or charge for one hour or more on an Elemental Stone Therapies Recharging Station. In a pinch, an hour or more under a full spectrum lamp will work, but do not use this as your only means of recharging. I’m often asked if layouts can be 'over-charged.' The simple answer is no. I live in VT and leave mine on the windowsill when I’m not wearing them. HOWEVER, if you leave layouts in direct sunlight in temperatures well over 80 degrees, the stones may get quite hot, causing elastic or wire to overheat and become brittle, making it more likely to break. In very hot direct sunlight recharge your layouts for just one hour.
Most layouts need to be removed & recharged after 1-2 days of wear. If your condition is acute, emotions are high, you are very sensitive, or your energy is intense or scattered, you may need to recharge daily, twice a day, or after short periods of use. Some layouts come with specific recharging instructions. If you don’t recharge often enough, layouts will stop working, and/or the stones, wire or elastic may break. Layouts will give you subtle signs that it’s time to recharge so pay attention. A layout may feel like it’s not working, pull hairs, feel hot, dull, suddenly uncomfortable, or a necklace may slide off. If this happens, take it off and recharge it before you wear it again. If you don’t, it will stop providing support, it may break, or you’ll lose it.
Repairs will only be done on some layouts, and prices vary depending on the condition of the layout and the stones. Go to the Repairs page for more information.
If you have a Recharging Station, I recommend leaving your layouts on the Recharging Station when you are not wearing them.
IMPORTANT NOTE: if you have a Recharging Station it doesn’t matter what kind of windows you have.
Cleaning Your Layouts
Body oils, sweat, and creams, lotions, etc. that you put on your body can accumulate on your layouts, causing them to look dull, and to perform less effectively. They can also clog the holes of the beads, putting strain on the elastic or wire. Periodically wash your layouts in warm/hot soapy water, then rinse well. Or you can wear them into the shower. I do not, however, recommend soaking them in water. They just need a quick wash.
These layouts are not meant to last forever.Take care of them and they will last as long as possible.
