The art of energetic intention magik through the use of crystal grids can be a fun simple way to harness and focus your power. Most of us know of or have heard how crystals have unique healing and energy properties. Crystals are amazing to use in your everyday life for a multitude of reasons including but not limited to healing, protection, grounding, and balancing. One way to strengthen or combine the energy of crystals is to create a crystal grid. A crystal grid, simply put, is a group of crystals that you choose to work together. They are arranged in all kinds of geometric shapes and sacred geometry, to amplify the natural power of the crystals, along with the intentions you instill in them. It can be as simple as a triangle or as complex as Metatron's cube. You can do even bigger layouts and arrangements if you wish too, there is no limit here. There are many different premade crystal grids that you can find on Etsy or Amazon. Keep in mind, the grid does not need to be super expensive or complex to be effective. You may also just want to free hand the geometric shape or sacred geometry you desire to use and that is okay too. Follow your intuition here and have fun!
Like I said before, your grid is customizable and limitless! For your grid you can use one type of crystal or multiple types of crystal that can work together. The crystals can be any size or shape. Although, many people do prefer to use crystal points, because they can focus energy in a specific direction. When building your grid, your center crystal should be your biggest and largest one in the configuration. These grids can be made on your altar, next to or under a bed, or any place in your home or workspace that you need amplified energy, intentions, or protection.
My Personal Favorite:
One grid I like to make for myself is a New Moon grid. This grid will help intensify my intentions that I am setting for the new moon cycle. With the new moon fast approaching, you may want to try this out!
For this grid you will need 13 crystals.
3 Moonstone
1 Selenite Tower
3 Labradorite
3 Smokey quartz
3 Clear quartz.
Again, you can use any size or shape you want, but for this I prefer the smokey and clear quartz crystals to be points and the moonstone and labradorite crystals to be tumbled. You can choose to use a grid for this or not, as long as, your crystals are equally spaced apart and symmetrical. Your selenite tower will be placed in the center with the moonstone and labradorite crystals alternating in a circle around the tower. Next, you will alternate the smokey and clear quartz crystals around the outside with any points you may have, pointing outward to direct your intentions out to the Universe.
After I have cleansed all my crystals, I will then set intentions into them. They can all have the same intention, or you can make each one different depending on the crystal and the properties it naturally holds. To program your crystal with intentions, hold the crystal or crystals in your hand and speak your intention over them. Try to envision the intention being absorbed by the crystal(s) you're holding. Then place your crystals in the desired position one by one. On a sheet of paper, I typically also write my intentions down, for a little extra umph.
Some Examples of what you may write on your paper:
“I am successful in my business, my bank account is full’
or
“My heart is full of love and is open, ready to receive love for my greatest highest good”
or
“My new car is ready for me to buy”
or
“I no longer live in fear, my fears no longer plague my life and my decisions”
What your intentions are can be as small or as big as you want, but sometimes taking the smaller steps first helps to lead up to those big things we want in life. Don't be afraid to get specific. I will then take that piece of paper, fold it up neatly, and place it under the selenite tower in the center of my grid. I will sit with the grid and meditate envisioning all my intentions coming true and breathing new life. You can also light a candle, as you meditate, to help intensify your meditation, intention, and manifestation work. I will leave the grid up for the duration of the new moon, usually about 2-3 days or as long as I feel called to do. Listen to your gut and your teams. If they tell you to leave it longer, please do as you are always called to do. After that I will simply thank the crystals, my team, and the Universe for all the love and abundance I now have and will receive. Do not forget to cleanse all your tools used, including crystal and any boards you may have purchased to work off of. You are now safe to put them away for the next time you feel called to utilize this in your practice.
Short list of Natural Properties of the Above Crystals I Utilize:
Selenite tower- brings clarity and calmness to the mind, while opening the crown and higher chakras. It has pure vibrations and can instill a deep peace. Also, great for protection from lower vibrations.
Moonstone- helps to stabilize emotions and stress. Calming emotions, which is great when trying to manifest your desires.
Labradorite- It is said to be “the bringer of light”, helping to rise consciousness by connecting to the Universe's energies. It also protects from negative energies. Helps to banish fear and insecurities, while promoting faith and trust in oneself.
Smokey quartz- promotes positivity while being very grounding. Relieves fear, lifts depression, and brings emotional calmness. A very protective stone as well.
Clear quartz- the most powerful healing and energy amplifier. It can unblock stuck energy. Helps to filter out distractions and can assist in attuning you to your highest spiritual purpose.
