You should do this at minimum monthly, sometimes they can absorb energy more frequently or quicker. To set the intention you should hold your crystal and think about what you want to use it for and your goal with it. bonding with your crystal is important as well, you can sleep with your crystal under your pillow and carry it around to get used to and to bond with it.
