Whether you want to manifest something or heal more powerfully, crystal grids are a creative and beautiful way to achieve just this. We’ll show you how to make a crystal grid to boost the power or your crystals and intentions.
A crystal grid, while it sounds quite fancy, is simply crystals and other objects arranged in a symmetrical pattern. While there are crystal templates that you can follow, ultimately it’s a personal expression and you should do what feels right for you.
In this article we’ll show you just how easy it is to make a crystal grid. If you’re new to crystals and want to find out more about the different crystals available and what they do before you make your grid, read our article Introducing crystals into your life for health and manifestation.
What is a crystal grid based on?
Crystal grids are based on three basic principles:
1) Power of crystals
Each type of crystal has a certain, inherent energy. When arranged in groups or patterns, this energy is amplified. This energy is further enhanced when you put intent into the crystals by programming them. Find out how to program your crystals before creating your grid.
2) Sacred geometry
All around us in nature, we find repeating patterns, and these patterns have energy. Throughout history, these patterns have been used in architecture, science and religions. Patterns range from those found in microscopic plants and animal life to galaxies far away. These energy patterns create and unify. Sacred geometry is the ancient science that explores and explains these energy patterns. Crystal grids are based on these energy patterns and sacred geometry. Find out more about energy patterns and sacred geometry.
3) Numerology
Numerology is based on the belief that certain numbers and number combinations have specific energies that influence our lives. Some numbers are believed to be more powerful than others. Some crystal grids are arranged in specific number patterns, according to the principles of numerology, to activate the energy of those numbers.
What do I need to create a crystal grid?
- Crystal grid
- Center stone
- Outer crystals/objects
- Your intent
- Activation crystal
The crystal grid can be drawn or printed on paper, material, wood, or even designed on the dirt. Any surface is suitable, as long as the base numbers correspond to the spokes (like a bicycle wheel). Some people will adapt their grids to their intent, for instance, if it’s a problem at work, then they will recreate their workplace as their grid.
There are many crystal grids available, some with specific purposes such as the “Seed of Life Grid” for healing. Your whole house may be used as a crystal grid too, by arranging crystals in different rooms.
Grids can be easily downloaded for free. Browse freely and choose one that resonates with you or one designed for a specific purpose like healing.
The center stone is an important crystal. Choose a crystal that resonates with you. It could be a well-liked crystal, a favorite crystal, or if you are unsure, use a quartz crystal which is an all-round powerful stone.
The outer crystals/objects can be any crystals, stones, or bits of nature or objects you like.
Your intent or what you need, as opposed to what you want, should be written down. It needs to be specific, positive, and affirming, with no negative words.
Your activation crystal is usually a crystal wand (long crystal with pointed edges) It can be a specific color for your intent such as pink or green for emotional or heart healing. It may also be a crystal for specific intent such as abundance or health.
How do I start?
Step 1: Gather the items you need
Read the section “What do I need to create a crystal grid?” above for a list and description of the items you need.
Step 2: Cleanse your crystals and the room
Find a calm, quiet area where you won’t be disturbed. Just as you cleanse your crystals, so you need to cleanse the room. Open the windows and doors to let the negative energy out. You can also use any of the methods below to cleanse the room, either individually or in combination. Do what feels right for you.
Smoke cleansing
This can be done by lighting a bundle of herbs (California white sage is commonly used, but check that it is ethically sourced). Herbs can be tied into bundles, lit, and when burning, blown out to smoke. They can also be put into small dishes and lit. 30 herbs for cleansing will help you choose the right herbs for your cleansing. Incense or candles may also be used. Palo Santo is commonly used (again, check that it’s ethically sourced).how
Sound
Similar to cleansing crystals, sound can be used to cleanse a room. It is a very easy and user-friendly way of doing so. Sound waves, because of their vibration, break up negative and heavy energy.
Use singing bowls, Tingsha (two small Tibetan cymbals held together by a chain or piece of leather), a tuning fork, a bell, a chime, chanting a prayer or mantra, or even clapping your hands. Musical instruments could also be used. Find a tool or instrument that excites or resonates with you.
Open the door to the room (and all windows if there are any) and go around the room in a clockwise direction while creating the sounds, starting at the door and ending back at the door. In this way you are “pushing” the negative energy around the room and helping it exit through any windows and the open door.
Salt
Salt can be put in corners, windowsills, or doorways. You can sprinkle the salt directly onto the floor or leave it in small dishes.
Crystals
Certain crystals, known for their clearing properties, can be placed around a room or a home. Black tourmaline or selenite can be used to clear negative energy.
Step 3: Set out your crystal grid
Decide on the type of grid you want to use. Some are designed for certain purposes such as protection. Others are based on numbers. If you’re good at sewing, here is a downloadable crystal grid pattern.
Choose a place where the grid won’t be disturbed and start by placing your focal centre stone. Arrange the other crystals/objects in rings around the center stone in a spokes pattern. Get a feel for it and soon you’ll be arranging instinctively.
Step 4: Charge your crystal grid
Take your activation crystal, touch the focal center stone, and then touch a stone in the adjacent ring. Go back and touch the center stone and then the next stone in the adjacent ring, then back to the center stone, and so on, until all the stones have been touched. Some people prefer to start from the outside circle and work their way inwards towards the center stone. You should repeat this as many times as it feels necessary.
Try to leave the grid in place for at least a day or two, or as long as you feel necessary.
Crystal grid numbers – what they mean
There are three basic crystal grid patterns based on the numbers 2, 3, or 5. There are a further two special grids based on the numbers 7 and 9 that are higher vibration numbers.
Number 2 crystal grids
Patterns of 2,4,8, or 16 spokes are based on this crystal pattern. Numbers that have a base of 2 are manifesting numbers and may help to change or make things happen. The numbers enable transformation and can be well used where change is needed for healing work.
Number 3 crystal grids
Patterns of 3,6, or 12 spokes are based on this crystal pattern. They resemble hexagrams, clock faces, and honeycombs. Numbers with a base of 3 can show hidden talents you may be oblivious to. This grid helps to open closed areas of your life and hidden prejudices as well as manifest unused talents and skills to enrich your life.
Number 5 crystal grids
Patterns of 5,10, or 20 spokes are based on this crystal pattern which resembles pentagrams. Numbers with a base of 5 show creativity and you can use these grids to manifest creativity, inspiration, new ideas, and connection with your inner child. It can also aid in affairs of the heart, romance, love, and mending broken hearts.
Number 7 crystal grids
Patterns of 7,14 or 28 spokes are based on this crystal pattern. Numbers of 7 are for spirituality (think of 7 chakras and 7 colors in the spectrum) and evolutionary work. These grids are good for timing events (7 days a week, 14 days in a fortnight, 28 for the Moon’s cycle) When used carefully, this grid develops your unconventional side, where your beliefs are unique and not a herd mentality.
Number 9 crystal grids
Patterns of 9,18 or 36 spokes are based on this crystal system. Numbers of 9 are related to karma, spiritual awareness, and universal love. This number also suggests that things will come full circle, with you following your fate and not having free will.
Using crystals for romance, healing, promoting positivity, or getting rid of negativity is well-known. Now you know how to go one step further for a more powerful experience.
