Hello springwater!
No problem. What you plan sounds fine. Did the texture of the Bloodstone feel oily? Water has oil in it so if you soak a stone in standing water for an extended period of time it can become coated with it.
For your intent/programming what you describe sounds fine, although personally I would be a little concerned about charging them to cleanse Charkas when holding them all together since they may become confused about which Chakra to address. But, if you then place them over the respective Charkas you intend to use them for they should work out okay. If you feel it doesn't, try charging them individually for each Chakra.
Or, for a charging, since stones don't know what the word 'Chakra' means, and because you're visualizing your whole body, I might try a charging ritual like this: Cup the stones in both hands and say something like:
Rock and stone from Earth, as me;
Cleanse and make my body Free;
Charge me with the Love and Light;
Health and Peace both Day and Night.
That's just an idea and of course you can make up your own. I like this one because it imparts Intent to multiple stones without confusing them as to which is for what part of the body.
Hope this helped some! Blessings to you as always on this beautiful day!
