Crystal grids are great to help manifest your intentions. Crystal grids help reinforce your goals, and attract the energy needed to reach them.
How to: When working with crystals, it’s ideal to cleanse them first. Then, when using them in the grid, set your intention for each. As crystals often have multiple meanings and uses, you usually want to use them to focus on one or two properties each in a grid to get the right mix. Hold the crystal/s, and (either internally, or out loud) express that this crystal is to attract the energy of (XYZ). Place the crystal on the grid where you’d like it.
Once all crystals are placed, activate the grid. You can do this by holding your hand over it, or using a wand. Some people like to close their eyes, but focus your attention on what you want to manifest from the grid. And that’s it. Let it be. Leave it to do its work. You can come back to it daily and reaffirm.
If you’re worried it may absorb the wrong type of energy, you can smudge them with some sage or palo santo, setting the intention to clear any unhelpful energy.
If you’re leaving it in place for a few weeks, you may want to “refresh” or “reset” your grid by reassembling it - this is up to you, and you can do this as often as you feel guided to.
Placement: you can follow a guide, or be led by your intuition. Grids don’t have to use sacred geometry to work. Some people prefer more abstract grid work. I usually include a photo or two with suggestions on placement for the set you choose, but you can absolutely place them where you feel guided to 💕Usually, you place in the centre, the crystal with the intention you’re MOST focused on for that grid.
