How to create a crystal grid
We are often asked how to create a crystal grid. Here are a few thoughts and pointers.
What is the purpose of creating a grid? Grids help to anchor energy, open energetic portals, set intentions, create magic, bring healing, honour and observe special dates or portals, attract love or repel negative energy. They can also be used for protection.
There are a few basic rules to follow:
Create a sacred space for your grid - a clean space - somewhere you will see it.
Set your intention, dedicating the grid to it's specific purpose.
Crystals on the grid should be cleansed monthly.
Remember, clear quartz is an amplifier - so it will enhance any other crystals on the grid.
Crystals pointed inward bring energy in. Crystals pointed outward draw energy out.
Use the lines and circles on the grid as a map upon which to position crystals.
The central crystal or item is the generator, holding the combined power of all other items.
You can also put a photo, name, or word here. A Metatron Colour Healing Aura spray also works well.
Notice the Sacred Geometry of the grid you use:
Metatron's Cube - helps activate, manifest and create energy.
Flower of Life - helps balance, flow, unity, connection
The grid can work either in the background or via conscious connection eg via meditation/prayer.
How to Begin
Set your intention - what is the purpose of your grid? Choose a background. You can use either a cloth or even a pretty scarf or one of our altar cloths or wooden grids. You can also print off a Metatron's cube or Flower of Life image from the internet and use that for your background. Everyday items from around your home and garden can also be used. Pick flowers from your garden. Pretty jewellery, special photos, ornaments etc. Let your imagination, and your intuition run free here. Remember, you can't get it "wrong".
Choose a focal point and build out from there. Again, this can be a crystal, an ornament, an affirmation or a person's name if you are doing a healing grid for someone. Just ensure it's something meaningful to you.
Choose crystals - think about the type of crystals that would best fit your subject. Use what you have to hand. If you don't have crystal points to direct the energy you could use flowers or foliage.
Make it with love and create beauty - add other items as desired, shells, feathers, candles, shells, pretty stones, bits of coloured ribbon even. Love and Beauty add power to your creation. Remember it's your creation and there is no right or wrong way to do this.
Energy follows intention. Be clear with your intention.
Use your intuition, or cycles of the moon to change, refresh or take down your grid.
