Crystal grids are not only a beautiful and fun way to utilize the natural energy of crystals but you can also use them for intentions such as manifesting your desired future and healing from trauma and childhood abuses.
In the book "the Sparkly Crystal Grid Book" by the students of Hibiscus Moon Crystal Academy, they describe crystal grids as a
"geometric pattern of energetically aligned stones charged by intention, set in a sacred space for the purpose of manifesting a particular objective".
Exploring the basics of what crystal grids are, how to create and use them, in addition to the various types of crystal grids that can be used for specific intentions such as healing from trauma is the perfect way to get started.
To elaborate just a little, crystal grids are arrangements of crystals in specific geometric patterns or designs. These patterns are created to amplify the energy of the crystals and to direct their energy towards a specific goal or intention.
Consider using crystal grids for purposes such as:
healing
protection
abundance
attracting love
spiritual growth.
Creating a crystal grid is a simple process, but it requires some planning and preparation.
Here are the steps to create and use a crystal grid:
Before you start creating your crystal grid, it's important to choose the intention or goal that you want to manifest. This will guide your choice of crystals and the design of your grid.
Choose the crystals that are for your specific intention or goal. Either choose a variety of crystals or focus on a specific type of crystal. The most important consideration is focusing on those that both resonate with you and your intention.
There are many different grid patterns to choose from, such as a flower of life pattern, a spiral pattern, or creating your own grid pattern. Open yourself up to any pattern that resonates with you and your intention.
Before you start placing your crystals on the grid, it's important to cleanse and charge your crystals. You can do this by using sound, light, water, or any other method that works for you.
To begin setting up your grid place your specific crystals on the grid in your chosen pattern. Always place the crystals with intention, focusing your energy on your desired result while you prepare the grid.
Once it is set up, you must activate your grid. Do this by placing a central crystal in the center of the grid. This crystal is the focal point for the energy of the other crystals. Other options are to use a wand or your hands to direct energy toward the central crystal.
It's important to maintain your crystal grid by keeping it dust free, energetically clean, and recharging it regularly. You can do this by cleansing the crystals as well as rearranging the grid occasionally.
Different types of crystal grids There are many different types of crystal grids that can be used for various purposes.
Here are some examples:
Healing grid: A healing grid is used for physical, emotional, or spiritual healing. It usually includes crystals such as amethyst, rose quartz, and clear quartz.
Abundance grid: An abundance grid is used to attract abundance and prosperity. It usually includes crystals such as citrine, green aventurine, and pyrite.
Love grid: A love grid is used to attract love and improve relationships. It usually includes crystals such as rose quartz, rhodonite, and garnet.
Protection grid: A protection grid is used to provide protection from negative energies and entities. It usually includes crystals such as black tourmaline, smoky quartz, and obsidian.
The visual beauty of crystal grids and their calming presence is a powerful tool for manifesting the peace you crave and healing the traumas that derail your life. They are simple and pleasurable to create. Using a grid is super easy with little instruction. Included in the various types of crystal grids is the challenging work of healing from trauma and childhood abuse.
To get you started let's look a little closer at using the crystal grids specifically for healing from trauma.
Crystal grids can be a powerful tool to support healing from trauma. Trauma leaves devastating emotional wounds that impact the mind, body, and spirit. Crystal grids create a safe and nurturing space for beginning the healing process.
