Heart Cave Healing: How to Create a Crystal Healing Grid
If you have been working with healing crystals and are looking for a way to harness more of their energies, it might be time to look into incorporating sacred geometry and grid layouts into your crystal healing. Sacred geometry refers to metaphysical concept that there are reoccurring geometric shapes found in nature and these shapes hold a spiritual significance to our existence. Sacred geometry serves as the foundation for all creation. Combining crystals with the properties of sacred geometry is a potent form of healing. Here are some steps you can follow for creating a crystal healing grid:
Define your grid intent. Start by declaring your intent or purpose for the crystal grid. This is an important first step as you begin to concentrate your energy on what you will manifest. Suggestions for potent healing grid intentions include boosting self-confidence, stimulating healing, attracting love and abundance, protection from negative energy or evil spirits, releasing past wounds or emotions that no longer serve, raising individual or global consciousness, Mother Earth healing or even world peace. There is no limit, so donโt hold back! You may want to write your intentions down or even place them underneath the crystal grid.
Find your zen. Once you have defined your intentions, it will be beneficial to take a moment and create your sacred space. Personally, I keep my apartment very neat and clutter-free. I take time to clear my personal items away and set up the place where I will build my grid. Whatever your personal rituals for feeling grounded, centered and at peace, itโs important to find your zen before creating your crystal grid. This may involve smudging yourself and your space with sacred herbs such as sage or palo santo. Your preparations can be as simple as clearing space for your grid and taking a few deep, cleansing breaths.
Collect your crystals. Next you will need to gather your stones. You may need to do some research prior to identify which stones may best suit your healing purposes. I always start with bringing several crystals that I might want to use near my grid making space. Organizing them by color, shape or size might be useful. Let the crystals know what your intentions are for the grid and ask for their assistance in your healing efforts. Approach the crystals with gratitude and be open to their messages.
Let the magic flow! Now is the magical moment when you create your crystal healing grid. Itโs important to use your intuition at this step. No one can tell you the right or wrong way to make a crystal grid. Many will advise to start with the center stone, as this is the focal point of your crystal gridโs energy. If using a sacred geometry pattern, know that the points where lines intersect are most powerful and designed to let the crystal gridโs energy flow harmoniously.
Activate your grid. Using a crystal wand or even your finger, you will join the crystals in harmonious synchronicity and activate your crystal grid. Start by pointing at the center crystal and focus on joining the crystal energies by drawing energy lines from the center stone to each stone around the grid. I like to finish off the activation process by drawing an energy line up to the heavens, creating a spiritual signal flare that lets my grid intentions be known throughout the universe and the spiritual realms.
*Disclaimer: I didnโt always feel crystal grid activation was necessary, until I found a way to make this practice my own. The important lesson is to always follow your intuition. This is your path. Your healing.
Give thanks. At this point, your crystal grid is activated and ready to work some magic for ya! Offer a prayer of gratitude, sit in quiet contemplation or meditation or just rest easy knowing your crystal friends are helping you heal.
