Crystal Grids can sometimes be more powerful than using a single Crystal for an intended goal. They are made by the placement of Stones in a geometric pattern for the specific purpose of directing energy toward a goal. The Stones or Crystals are then charged by your intention & energy.
You will need the following items to set up your Grid:
A location for your grid in your home. Cleanse your space by burning sage or Palo Santo to clear the energy.
A small piece of paper with your intention or goal written on it. Then fold your written intention & place it in the centre of your Crystal Grid cloth.
A centre Crystal; This would usually be a Crystal point or a cluster. This will be more powerful for directing your intention straight up into the Universe. But any Stone works perfectly!
Tumble Stones that align with your intention
A Quartz point for activation
A Crystal grid cloth (this is optional, but it can enhance the energy!)
Setting up your Grid:
We are all different & there are various different methods of setting up a grid that might work for some, but not for others. As a general rule, the method below is simple & should work for most.
A Crystal Grid should always have a central Crystal that is important to us, & our written intention should be placed underneath it. There should be some emotional attachment to that Crystal & preferably, we should have worked with it & know the central Crystal quite well. It is the main representation of what we are manifesting. As a general example:
For Confidence ~ Tiger Eye or Citrine
For Mental Clarity ~ Lapis Lazuli, Blue Kyanite or Blue Obsidian
For Healing ~ Malachite or Apophyllite
For Relationships ~ Rose Quartz or Rhodochrosite
For Financial Prosperity/Abundance ~ Citrine or Jade
For Spiritual Development ~ Amethyst, Clear Quartz or Danburite
For Transformation ~ Moldavite or Labradorite
A Clear Quartz Cluster is also a perfect centre piece for a grid.
After choosing the central piece, the next layer of Crystals in the grid should be those that amplify OR draw energy into or out of the centre, such as Herkimer Diamonds, any type of Crystal Points, Clear Quartz or higher energy Crystals. There are many different ways to build a Grid & it’s always best to start by keeping things simple.
If using a Crystal point, you might like to have the point facing inward so it is drawing energy from the Universe into the grid, or you may like to have it pointing outward, to connect the intent of the central Crystal to Universal energy. There is no right or wrong ~ whatever works for you is perrfect!
I like to place the next layer of Crystals in a North/South/East/West placement to honour the elements & directional energies, & then build the grid out from there. Usually, I will place a third layer of Crystals around the edge of a grid to further represent what is being manifested, or to provide a circle of protection.
The most important thing about a grid is the intent used when setting it up. Hold each individual Crystal in your hand & concentrate on what you want it to do. Be as specific as you can, as this will determine which healing Crystals you choose as part of your grid & keep it simple by using specific focus words such as ‘amplify’, ‘abundance’ or ‘love’. We can also hold the Crystals & visualise what we are trying to manifest in our lives. If it’s the perfect relationship, imagine being in it & feel the joy associated with that while you’re holding the Crystals.
Once you have your grid set up & are happy with it, it then needs to be activated. To do this, pass your hand over the grid in a circular motion starting from the top of the grid & move it clockwise. Imagine the energy pinging & connecting from one Crystal to the next whilst instructing the grid to ‘Activate’. Finish with your hand over the central piece & give thanks to the Universe for delivering what you desire.
If you know how to do Reiki, you can activate the grid using Reiki energy. If you’re not sure how to do this, simply visualise the energy or you can call on your guides, angels, the God/Goddess or Spirit to lend a helping hand, whatever works for you. The grid will activate perfectly with your intent regardless of what method is used.
If you want to try something a bit more advanced, sit & meditate with your grid & draw up energy from the Earth below you & energy down from the Stars until it meets at the Solar Plexus. Then direct this energy into the grid either using Reiki ~ or imagine a big ball of that luscious combined energy sitting at your solar plexus. Keeping your eyes closed, take that ball of energy into your hands and roll it around a little before placing it into the centre of the grid. Again, use the word ‘Activate’ when doing so. This often takes the energy of the grid to a whole new level & does take a bit of practice.
You can add candles, other healing Crystals & energy tools around your grid as well.
Once you start making Crystal Grids you won’t want to stop!
