What they are and how to use them
Crystal grids are purposeful arrangements of crystals and gemstone for the purpose of bringing forward manifestations and desired energy. They are a physical way of moulding the metaphysical world around you. In this channeled post, you will learn about the different types of grids, placement guidelines, grid activation, and when to remove them. We hope you find this enlightening!
"...the fabric of the universe can begin weaving your manifestation into existence"
Types of Grids
The intention of a crystal grid is to draw energy either to a source, or from a source. Let me explain.
Inward grids. These are made with a sole intention within the centre, placed upon a centre guiding stone. You can either “program” the centre stone with an intention, or write it on a piece of paper and place it under the stone. Either way, these grids channel energy from the cosmos to be directed inwards to a specific goal. This can be financial, health, personal, anything singular in focus. These grids focus inwards, as mentioned.
Outward grids. These grids do not have a singular focus, but a more outward radiative approach. These are made with or without the use of a central stone, with the focus of radiating energy outwards. These can be protective in nature - filling a room with sanctuary. They can also be loving - filling a space with calm and peace. They can even be directed to a wider range of people - say a mass healing grid, or generational wealth grid. These are used for goals and ideas that span across space and time, affecting a multitude of people.
Placement
The way you place crystals within a grid is important too. Sacred geometry is typically used to create these formations. Think the flower of life, or the Fibonnaci sequence. They can also be intuitively created, either using your own inner knowing, those of your spirit team, or a combination of both. The placement of the crystals directly impacts the energy within the grid. A more densely packed grid allows for denser focused energy, but if the energy within the crystals is too dissonant, it can cause mixed signals and delay of manifestations. Conversely, a more sparse grid can allow energy to flow more freely, but can in turn be diluted from lack of energy. It is important to find the right balance, but we cannot directly give you a number of crystals that is ideal. That depends on the extent of your goal, the size of your crystals, and of course, the size of your space. A more widespread, long term goal may require larger crystals and a more dense grid. A smaller, focused, immediate goal conversely, may only require a few to achieve the desired result.
Crystal Shapes
The shape of the crystals is also important. Double terminated points are great for directing energy to and from a point, whereas single pointed crystals focus energy in one direction. Think of where you want the energy to go. Is it towards one specific goal? Point the energy inwards towards the focus. Is it a widespread notion that is intended to cleanse a space? Direct the energy outwards. There is no right or wrong answer here.
Activating Your Grid
It is not enough to place your grid down and walk away. That would be like setting up a bathtub but never turning on the faucet. You need to activate the energetic pathways between the crystals, that way the fabric of the universe can begin weaving your manifestation into existence. If you are skilled in the energy healing arts, you may use those skills to activate the grid. If not, you can simply run your finger along the pathways created in the grid, to and from the centre crystal if there is one. This begins the flow of energy. If you are slow and focused enough, some of you may even be able to feel the tingling sensation of energy within your fingers as you do so. Again, there is no set number of times required to do this, but continue until you feel in your heart it is enough. Have fun with this part. Again, there is no right or wrong approach. Let your spirit team guide you in your movements, no matter how bizarre they may feel. When it is done, say thank you, thank you, thank you, and leave your grid to work its magic.
When to Remove a Grid
How long should you keep your grid in place? Again, that depends on the extent of a goal. A more permanent intentioned grid may stay on an altar for weeks at a time, constantly providing a loving and protective energy to a space. Others may only be in place for a week, enough to get the energy flowing, and then removed. It is entirely up to you to decide how long you want your grid to remain in place. But remember, even grids that are intended to stay long term need to be recharged once in a while. Move your hands over the energy field from time to time to reactivate the flow, reinvigorating the intention. When it does feel time to remove a grid, do so with reverence and grace. Thank the universe for its divine help, thank your manifestations for being fulfilled - even if they have not yet been fulfilled - and place them back in their storage space with love. And of course, always remember to cleanse your crystals after use. There are a number of ways of doing this - from placing water safe crystals in a bowl of water, to recharging them under a full moon, imagining a purple flame surrounding the crystals, energy healing modalities like Reiki symbols, or simply stating “this crystal is now cleansed” - this step is important. This ensures crystals are clear of previously charged energy, ready to be recharged for their next use.
At the end of the day, the beauty and versatility of crystal grids can be used to bring specific goals into your life, help align your body to be more whole, or just be for beauty and love. Whichever way you decide to use them, there's no doubt that crystals are even more beautiful when they're working together.
