INSIDE: Crystal grids provide a beautiful way to display crystals while also serving an energetic purpose. From simple designs to intricate patterns, the rules of crystal grids are very flexible! Read on to learn how to make a crystal grid.
We talk a lot about the spiritual invocations of crystals, and we’ll get to that aspect of crystal grids here.
But before we dive in, let’s take a moment to consider the “official” science of crystals – crystallography, the study of how crystals form, what shapes their structures take, and how these contribute to the unique properties of crystals.
Crystallography has straddled the realm of science and mathematics since the discovery of the Bravais lattices, which are groupings of points or atoms that come together to create 7 different crystal shapes.
This isn’t the shape that we see with our naked eye but rather the deep, elemental bones of crystals.
While this fascinating field tries to explain the delicate balance in crystal structures that might contribute to their vibrational properties, you can find these patterns in other parts of nature too.
Take fractal geometry, which measures the surface texture of objects, for example. Fractals have demonstrated amazing self-copying patterns that seem to regenerate into infinity.
We desire to understand and realize the wonder of shapes in nature. Short of complex mathematical equations and strong microscopes, we can learn how to make a crystal grid by creating shapes and symmetry to unlock the power of crystal energy.
What is a Crystal Grid & How Do They Work?
A crystal grid in its most basic form is a deliberately planned arrangement of crystals, stones, and other natural elements. To elevate the pattern, you can imbue the grid with intention and activate it to vibrate energy.
The Purpose of a Crystal Grid
Creating crystal grids can serve as a tool or ritual to invite healing, motivation, or focus.
Because the process for how to make a crystal grid involves preparation, meditation, and intention, the outcome produces a beautiful structure of inspiration to return to as you seek to manifest different things in your life.
The Power of a Crystal Grid
The grid in itself emits incredible frequencies that attract important energy. Wherever you decide to construct a crystal grid, treat it as a sacred space where you can return time and time again to remember and absorb the positive vibrations of intention and intuition.
The power in the grid mirrors the perfect geometry in the crystals. By focusing points and angles within a shape, the grid directs energy flow throughout the structure.
Many crystal grids work through symmetry because a balance of energy is important even when we need to focus on a very specific energetic field. However, there are no hard rules for crystal grids.
Sometimes life is so out of balance one way that we have to counterbalance through an asymmetric grid. Let’s learn how to do it!
How to Make a Crystal Grid
Just like there are no rules to the shape of a grid, the process for how to make a crystal grid can differ too. Some people choose to build from inside out while others go from outside in.
This can all be a matter of preference or intention, infusing meaning into each step you take.
Prepare
To begin, take time to meditate on what you hope to learn from or receive from your crystal grid. Get clear about your intentions – maybe even write them down. It’s important that you can focus on and recall your intention throughout the process.
Gather cleansed crystals (we’ll talk more about that later). Choose them according to your intention and what kind of energy you hope to attract.
You will want one center crystal, which serves as the anchor, exuding the most powerful frequency towards your intention. Some examples of good anchor crystals include:
Then, seek out 2 to 3 other types of crystals, tumbled or natural, that can support the center’s power and energy. These stones harmonize, increase, and balance the center’s intentional vibration.
It can be a good idea to have an even number of support stones. A number like 8 is an easy, balanced number. Also, turned on its side, it symbolizes the sacred symbol of infinity.
If you have a Clear Quartz or Selenite pointer or wand, you may want to keep that handy for when we get the activation step below. You can also include tumbled stones, leaves, flowers, or other natural objects. You really can’t go wrong with your crystals, so trust your intuition to guide you.
Finally, consider the shape you want to create, freestyle or structured. You can find many crystal grid templates online, ranging from simple starter shapes to intricate advanced designs, to print out and use as a placement guide. Or, you can just create your own.
Build
With your tools in hand, it’s time to construct your crystal grid. You can build your crystal grid anywhere, inside or outside, but it’s a good idea to chose a safe, sacred space. Here you need to…
