How to Work with Crystals - Crystal Consciousness Course Lesson 7 of 7

Creating Crystal Grids

This lesson is designed to teach you how to create and maintain crystal grids to generate focused energy towards a desired outcome or intention.
What Is a Crystal Grid?
A crystal grid is a set of crystals/stones, laid out to form a set pattern. The system is designed to bring all of the crystals into one unified focus and uses sacred geometric patterns to support the intended focus. As result you have (for example) seven crystals all healed, cleansed and focused in one single unified goal such as healing or creating harmony in a room. This grid of crystals is activated so that it runs a constant grid of light that generates the focused energy all the time. The crystals working together with the support of sacred geometry in such a powerful manner, significantly amplifies the amount of focused energy in such a way as to far outweigh any possible effects that could have otherwise been brought about.
What kinds of things can a crystal grid be used for?
In truth, the uses are limitless, however here are some examples.
Sending healing,
Anchoring a specifically focused energy in a room (harmony, peace, love, healing, angels, light-beings, a specific Goddess or Divine Being, and so on);
Sending a specific energy focus to you or another (such as great study techniques, or an affirmation),
Maintaining an affirmation or specific energy such as Reiki;
Manifesting a desired outcome and so on.
Morespecific details will be given later in this lesson.

What Materials Are Needed to Create My Crystal Grid?
1.You need a flat base made of natural materials. My favourite base is an agate slice (it must not have a hole in the centre), but you can also use a terracotta pot saucer; a tile; a flat piece of wood; even hard cardboard will work in a pinch.
2.You need water based glue such as pvc
3.You need to select the seven crystals for your grid. These can’t be crystals that you want to use for other purposes. They should all be the same type of crystal as this provides the steadiest flow. Tumbled stones work really well for this work. They need to be in proportion to the base. Remember to ask for guidance as to the specific tumbled stones you choose – follow the same procedure you were taught early in the course.
4.You also need a single quartz point for setting the grid.
How Do I Put The Grid Together?
Start by cleansing and energising each component. Once all the crystals are done, you can also do the base and even pour light into or give Reiki to the glue. As you prepare the stones/crystals, be clear and focused as to your intent for the grid you are creating. Connect with and communicate with the crystals, asking them if they want to participate in this work (they have rights and purposes as well – they will almost always say yes, but will work much better having been asked rather than told!).
When you feel ready, set the stones on the base in a hexagonal pattern with one stone in the centre. When you feel they are balanced and well set, use the pvc glue to set them in their spots. Walk away for a few hours.
When you return the stones should be glued reasonably firmly to the base. Once you have set the grid up, the next stage is to create the grid of light. This part varies depending on what your intention is, so I will set out the basics here and then diversify later.
1.Energise your clear quartz point, preparing it for the work it is about to do.
2.See a fine beam of pure light coming from the point of the quartz.
3.Point the beam at the centre crystal and begin reciting an affirmation of light such as, “I invoke the Highest Light and Love” or a phrase that invokes light for you (Reiki symbol names work well). Repeat the phrase in lots of three as you move around the grid seeing the lines of light form between the crystals.
4.Start in the centre, draw a line out to one crystal, then anti-clockwise to the next crystal, then back to the centre – all the while reciting your light phrase. For the next step, from the centre go back along the last line you ‘drew’ anticlockwise to the next crystal then back to the centre again. Keep reciting the phrase and seeing the lines of light as you build them.
5.Continue to trace the lines in the same pattern, until the full grid has been set and you return to the centre. You will trace six triangles in all. When you are done, the grid has been created, then hold the quartz point pointing at the centre crystal whilst reciting your Light Invocation three more times.
Maintaining The Grid
As you build the strength of the grid and your ability to create grids, you can lessen the frequency of this work. Make sure you keep the quartz point and any phrasing you’ve used handy to the grid.
Start by doing this exercise weekly, then as you feel the grid get stronger and last longer, you can expand times between re-affirming the grid energy. Point the quartz at the centre point and recite your Light Invocation at least three times. Then if there’s an affirmation or intention that the grid is set to, recite that clearly and with strong intent. As you do this, if you can see the grid is clear and strong, there’s no need to go any further, otherwise, re-trace the full cycle of the grid to re-strengthen it, returning to the centre and reciting the Light Invocation three more times to seal it.
Creating A Grid To Bring A Focus To An Area/Room
1.Decide what your intention is, for example, ‘This grid is to anchor peace and calm in this room.’
2.Follow the preparation procedure above (choose the appropriate crystals, using your intuition and knowledge to help).
3.Set up the grid
4.To create the grid of light – start by focusing the quartz beam in the centre, recite your Light Invocation three times, then set your intention as mentioned above ‘This grid is to anchor peace and calm in this room’. Maintain the focus on what you want the grid to do whilst reciting the light invocation and ‘drawing the lines’ of the grid.
5.When you have completed the full circuit and you’re back in the centre, reiterate the intention ‘This grid is to anchor peace and calm in this room’ then recite the light invocation three more times.
This method works very well for affirmations and the many possible focuses as well.
Healing Grids
You can set a healing grid up for your healing room by using powerful healing stones such as clear quartz or malachite. Use a phrase like ‘This grid anchors the divine healing light in this room’ to set your intention.
You can get more specific calling upon a specific Divine Deity such as Jesus or Kwan Yin to infuse their energy, then setting the grid with the phrase ‘This grid anchors the divine healing energy of Jesus to this room.’.
Personal Grids for Individuals
Set a healing grid with the phrase ‘this grid is focused on the divine healing of (name). It brings to (name) all the healing needed for a full recovery.’ Use the steps provided earlier.
You can of course alter the phrases and intentions to suit your self and the specific situation – it is the clear intention that is vital here. Whatever you do, make sure your intention and the wording of the phrase is clear and set prior to commencement.
Once you have set the grid to heal that person, a strand of hair (follicle intact) or piece of finger nail placed on the grid helps to anchor the focus.
You can also set Personal Grids for anything else you can think of (as long as it’s positive) – psychic development, added energy, exam focus and help, manifestation of a specific item or experience and so on.
Universal Healing Grid
Using your guidance and many crystals and other objects such as feathers, fetishes (small statuettes of power animals etc) you can create a super grid.
This grid can be used to provide healing for many people, animals and other beings such as Mother Earth, the water ways and so on. The most important thing here is to use your guidance.
1.Select a place that is quiet and peace, make sure the grid won’t be disturbed unduly, or that children (for example) won’t move the crystals around.
2.Use material such as a small table cloth to lay the grid out on.
3.Following your guidance, place the crystals in a beautiful pattern on the table cloth. You can have as many crystals as you like here, just follow your guidance. I used a lot of quartz points on a black cloth.
4.When the grid is set, say a prayer, calling in all appropriate beings such as the angels, and Goddesses etc. Command that this is set as a Universal Healing Grid – that it is to be recognised throughout the Universe as an anchor to heal who ever and what ever has their energy represented on the grid.
5.As you feel guided, add photos, pieces of paper with names, places etc, hair, finger nails, and so on. (Also as you feel guided, remove them).
6.Pray over the grid regularly – tune into the energy of the Universal Grid, it really is much more powerful and you don’t need to keep resetting the intention, just to pray over it.
7.Keep it clean and pour love into the beautiful crystals that are devoted to this work.
Conclusion
As you continue to work with the grids, you will discover many different ways to use the grids to empower your life and others. Become willing to trust your own inner guidance to expand, change the way in which you create and use the grids rather than just sticking to what you have learnt here.
