One of the most beautiful and useful ways to use crystal
healing energy is the crystal grid. Grids are made by combining
the energy of more than one crystal (usually in a geometric pattern)
and setting an intention for the energy of that grid to be sent to a
person, situation, or place in need of healing crystal energy. By this
the animal within you can be pleased or you can become lazy so be warned.
Start with a center piece and work with any crystal that will do
the job. Towers or clusters are my favorites, but any crystal will work!
You can set that on flat crystal, hang another crystal on the center
for the simplest grid, or build out in patterns from there. You can
really use just about any type of crystals in your grid. Symmetry
and balance are traditional, but not required for grids. Think of
bicycle spokes coming out from the center in multiples of 3-6 spokes,
for even more can increase the effect you think to use. Intuition
is your guide! Some people like to place grids on existing paper
patterns like mandalas, while others just let their creative side loose
and create their own patterns.
I see to send the energy to a specific place or person, this is when
I think of the spokes of your grids pointing inward towards the center
to fill a space with crystal energy. To send it out in general, pointing
the spokes outward is helpful. Once your grid is assembled, energize
it (some people say daily; I say it depends on how the grid feels to
you) by using a wand or your hand to draw invisible lines of light that
connect the grid crystals to each other. You can repeat your pattern
several times in a row to give it a good charge, think or go one time
slowly and deliberately. Experiment until you find what works for you.
One final thing to remember is if your grid is going to be in
place for an extended period of time, you will need to dismantle it and
clean your crystals about once a week, then re-set and re-charge the
grid to maintain its effectiveness. So go ahead - grab some crystals
and let your imagination and creativity be your guides as you discover
the healing and meditative tool known as “crystal grids”. And, if
you're still nervous about picking out the right crystals for your
intention, you can always start with one of our crystal grid kits [http://www.healingcrystals.com/advanced_search_result.php?dropdown=Search+Products].
When creating a crystal grid, the points of your crystals should face inward to draw energy in and outward when your goal is to send the healing energy out. If the crystals do not contain points, simply use your intention when placing them by what you feel or can think, this is sometimes your intention that is done and not what you do unless you think to create safely. That is all in the crystal design. So think and you may get what you wanted.
