Crystal Grids are arrangements of crystals or stones that create a continuous flow of energy for a specific purpose. They are used for healing and manifestation—both on a personal level and on a global or more universal scale. They are often used to magnify, focus and/or prolong a treatment using energy work such as Reiki.

Some grids are simple circles; others are based on sacred geometry like The Flower of Life, the Mercaba, or other symbol. Grids can be large structures placed on the ground. Examples of this kind of grid are: Stonehenge, labyrinths, and Native American medicine wheels. Grids can also be placed on a person during a healing session. The crystal grids we refer to in this article are dedicated to Earth healing.

The creation of a crystal grid begins with the intention to use the elements from Mother Earth to focus energy for healing. Allowing your creative intuition to guide you, crystals, stones, or other symbols and objects are selected and placed to generate an energy grid useful to Mother Earth as she re-aligns her energetic grid (happening now). These grids typically end up being a work of art that is both functional and enchantingly beautiful. Those who are drawn to make them often receive guidance even when they are not aware of it. The authors of the book, Dancing with Water have found that triskelions and tensor rings augment the energy of grids. They have made many grids for home and garden. You can make your own triskelions and tensor rings by following the instructions found on the Dancing with water website.

There is no right or wrong way to make a crystal grid. Some people place grids directly on the ground or on a table. Most are placed on a plate, a tile, or a cloth. Clay, glass, wood, and stone are good natural bases for a grid. Crystals, stones and other objects can be placed directly on the base surface or the base can be filled with sand, earth, small pebbles, or other natural material.

Grids are often made with clear quartz crystals alone because of the capacity of quartz crystals to amplify energy. Other grids use a combination of quartz and other stones and crystals, and some may not use quartz at all. Both authors have discovered that they had many things around the house they could use—without spending money. Sand was collected from nearby rivers and streams. Rocks and crystals from their personal collections were used. When they encountered the idea of creating ocean grids to help heal the Earth’s oceans, they were surprised at the things they found: a tiny piece of driftwood and sand dollars saved from a trip to the beach; sea shells, mother of pearl beads, a piece of coral, and even an old fishing float placed in a dish of natural salt. Use what you have.
We encourage you to make your own grid(s) and to dedicate them to the Earth and/or her oceans.

The process of making grids is calming and regenerative; they are an asset for any home or garden; they honor the Earth, and they enhance the environment in which they are placed. Somehow, making them brings out the creative spirit in everyone.

You will want to place your grid in a location where it is not easily disturbed and dedicate it to the healing of the Earth (or ocean). Have fun!

Author's Bio: 

MJ Pangman is an author and speaker in the field of complementary medicine. Ever since she observed its powerful effects on her own body, MJ has focused her writing on the subject of structured (liquid crystalline) water. Her recently published book, Dancing with Water: The New Science of Water is a reflection of 8 years of research on the molecular structure of water documenting the emerging evidence in support of its biological significance.
MJs background in the natural sciences gives her an understanding of chemistry, biology, and quantum physics. Her ability to explain the complex in simple terms, makes her writing easy and enjoyable to read. She is also the author of a quick read book (50 pages) called Hexagonal Water; The Ultimate Solution
MJ worked with the Korean scientist Dr. Mu Shik Jhon to make his book, The Water Puzzle and the Hexagonal Key, available in English. The book, published in 2004, outlines over 40 years of Dr. Jhon’s research on the structure of water.
