crystal grids

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I want to make my first crystal grid. I've read the file and have got

some questions and ideas I want to put to the group for advice before

I do it.

 

First of all I have two young children, so my grid has to be hidden

yet accessible. I have been thinking of making a grid on some card,

holding the crystals on it by blue tak and then putting it in the top

draw of a chest of drawers. This is with the intent that anything I

put ontop of the chest of drawers will get charged.

 

So I was thinking of doing star of solomon. I don't have many

crystals so I have to make do with what I have. For the outer corners

is it OK to have 6 different rough crystals as I don't have 6 of the

same? Is it OK to put polished stones in the corners? For the centre

stone I have a choice of a point or cluster... which would be better

if I wanted the whole surface of the chest of drawer top to be

charged with energy?

Also once I have made the crystal grid how often do I need to/should

I, charge it up with reiki energy? Also can I use this grid for multi

purpose ie; for healing( by putting paper/crystals representing

people/situations within the grid), putting a abundance (laxmi)

yantra in it to encourage some wealth, and also to charge anything

put ontop of the drawers eg. water, clothes etc?

Can I put the 'laxmi yantra' beneath the centre cluster or should it

be within the spaces of the star?

Can I programme the crystals in groups and then as a whole grid?

 

I hope the group can answer my questions. I don't really

get 'feelings' for what goes where, so am starting with this grid and

hopefully as time progresses I can adjust it.

 

Also can anyone suggest any really good books on grids. One that you

can enjoy reading rather than just a text book. With lots of tips and

examples?

 

Thank you

Anjani

Hi, I am slowly getting a bit more energy from a huge flu bug that took me down

for two weeks so I am catching up on some ...just some mail.

But I wanted to put some ideas out there for you. I can feel your eagerness

and loving desire to offer so much to so many intentions. I would like to first

say that your loving intent is already being seen by great guides and many

loving spirits who are at the ready to work with you.

About the grid, Your idea of a star of David is wonderful. I believe that

you can use any of your stones on any of the positions. Just hold them and sort

of ask them to help you and then do what your intuition tells you. It is pretty

to have all like crystal points all facing a certain way, and points to focus

energy in a certain direction but all your stones are going to work for you.

Remember, they " are " the Stone People. The placement generally is to have

outward flow place the pointed stones outward and for inner precise focus the

reverse. Sometimes a protective circle around the star is also a good way to

enhance the energy flow. I have an 8ft copper star of David buried directly

under our Kiva. Well, my sweet hubby did all the digging and burying...me, I

just placed crystal points facing upward at each point. A good size chunck of

rose quartz is buried in the center. This, for us, set the stage for the

building that was placed above it. Now, I also have a hanging grid I made from

an large embroidery hoop from a hobby shop in which I glued small dowels from

Walmart in the shape of the star of David. I also got copper tape and wound it

around the dowels. Then I hung it from the ceiling of the Kiva (our prayer

building). So, the energy not only is called from from the earth herself but

from the heavens as well. It was suggested to me to keep the same grid above the

other.

Now, that is an elaborate model but the energy from your stones glued or

secured on the chest top sounds wonderful. Remember that your tiny one is

totally connected to the largest one energy wise.

I also love the hexagon and use crawfish trays ...here in Louisiana and

Mississippi we eat a lot of the buggers so the round trays have a deep border

already in place. I lay down copper tape and then build a grid from this. If

anyone would like to see these photos please let me know and I would be very

happy to try and post them on the site or send them to you privately.

I think there are so many options to focus energy that it is really like an

energy " candy store " . I think we are encouraged to try and then grow from our

efforts. I hope these ideas might spur you onward and upward. And I am sure you

will be getting a bunch of ideas back to you. Thank you for asking. It is

wonderful to share and grow together. By the way,if anyone is ever in the

area...and would like to stop by and enjoy our 14 acres filled with crystals

everywhere in all sorts of arrangements just write me . I would love to share

all I can.

Nuff for now...now back to the couch with some kleenex...Judy

Thank you.

I really like what you have written. It reassures me what you said

about the guides. I really like the idea of the copper tape... I hope

I can get hold of some. I would love to put a grid around our home,

but don't have crystals big enough. Your Kiva sounds very beautifully

charged. I'm sure as soon as you step into it you get a buzz of

energy. That's what I wanted to do for my meditation room, but its

just not happening. Mainly because I'm not keen in sitting inside a

closet (which is what I had read as an excellent place to meditate).

I prefer just sitting on my bed, then I get sweet dreams too.

Would you send me pictures of your kiva and your crystal grids. I

would love to get ideas from them?

FINALLY!! Someone else who has suspended a grid from their ceiling!!! lol For me

it is not practical to have a grid on the floor of our meditations room

(although I do have a pentagram carpet that I do use for girdding purposes on

the floor, centered below the ceiling grid. I use it as needed and do put

various crystals around it and in various patterns depending on what mood

strikes me). The ceiling grid is made entirety of copper wire and dangling

pentagram-pentagon faceted crystals (clear, smokey and rose quartz)?and

suspended using cup hooks n the ceiling. It has a 10 (or is it 11) foot diameter

and is in the shape of a decagram (ten-pointed star done as an upright and

inverted pentagram - as above, so below and the aspects of God and Goddess: view

diagram of decagram here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Decagram_10_4.png?).

The quartz stars (you can view one here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Clear-Quartz-Crystal-Sacred-Geom-5-Point-Star-CQ1419_W0QQite\

mZ260347708266QQihZ016QQcategoryZ102500QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem?) The stars are

only about an inch across and dangle from copper wire at the outer points of the

star (clear quartz) and the?next two inner " rows/circles " of intersecting lines

with rose quartz and smokey quartz alternating on the first inner row/circle and

then the second inner row/circle is clear quartz again. The Smokey stars are

hung inverted and the rose quartz are hung upright. The clear quartz alternate

in both rows/circles upright and inverted. So, there are a total of 30 stars

dangling from the grid and ceiling. There is much more detail I could go into

with the grid but I don't want to bore you ... heehee

 

Prior to putting the grid up, I would have to say for new folks entering the

room (at that time it was actually my bedroom, until my daughter moved out)

would comment on the energy and ask how I could sleep in there. For some it was

quite " jangly " . I was accustomed to it since I had brought the crystals in

gradually and slept there. Once I had the grid completed and all other

decorating done, we had a consecration/dedication ritual (meditation and

universal healing and protection as well since it is also the room where rituals

are performed)?for the meditation room. We selected the folks that we wanted to

participate and had all your typical " bells and whistles " that are in many pagan

rituals. Once all of this had taken place, folks coming into the room for

healing or just to relax and bask in the energies of the grid and crystals, say

the energy is very calming and soothing. And for the folks that thought it was

previously " jangly " it is now smooth and focused (for lack of better

description).

 

While most folks do use the Star of David, my path resonates with the pentagram

and for me there must be the balance of masculine and feminine energies, thus

the decagram. I even was able to come across a quartz crystal that is a faceted

decagram.

 

Enough of my ramble.

 

Blessings to your eve all.

but don't have crystals big enough.

Check into copper wire as well. You might actually be able to find some nice

thicknesses at your local Home Depot or Lowes (or other hardware/home

improvement shops) that sell electrical wiring. What I used for my grid is quite

thick and it was not covered in plastic either. It works really well for making

the outer circle and smaller gauges can be used for the inner star.

 

I would like to ask why you feel you need large crystals for gridding your home?

When it comes to crystals and their energy, size do NOT matter. I have some

small yellow sapphire roughs that are only 3 -5 mm (millimeters) in size that

have such incredible energy, if you just closed your eyes and felt the energy,

you would not believe they were so tiny. The only thing I would have to say

about gridding the entire house is that points might be a better choice then

tumbled stones but even then it would depend on what crystals you decide you

want to use. If you feel it is right for your home to use tumbled stones

(terminated crystals are just my personal preference.), then by all means do so

but don't think that because a crystal or stone is small, it is not up to the

task of a house grid.

 

Blessings to your eve all.

Wow Renau,

I would love to see photos of your grid. I could try something

similar for our room. My kids can't get to the ceiling 'yet'.

 

Currently I have two crystal points in 4 corners of the room. However

I don't feel any benefit from them there. I may have done it wrong.

also I never touch them... do you re-energise your crystal grid

somehow... or once up there it does its job forever?

That's good. I thought...big house...big crystals. I suppose though i

have wait till I find the right ones. As I have noticed the crystals

I have do not always give me energy.

When I was pregnance, I only had one citrine tumblestone. A 1.5cm

one. But it helped me so much for my acid and heartburn. Since then,

citrine has been my favorite, however it doesn't ever give me as much

energy as before... infact nothing. Nowadays I get more response from

a amethyst crystal.

In my previous reply to you, I mentioned my small crystal points in

my room acting as a grid. I thought they might not be working because

they are small or that I have to re-energise them. Perhaps I didnot

programme them correctly or perhaps they just aren't for that room?

 

Yes the copper wire would be ideal for the ceiling grid. After I have

made my drawer grid, and felt its energy, I shall next try a ceiling

grid.

Wooooooohooooo! What a wonderful drawing. I plan to just run it off and use it

as an awesome grid. I can sense the energy flow in a third dimensional way just

from looking at it.

There is also a hanging grid above my head in the bedroom made of that large

embroidery hooop but also I have made , again from the simple walmart dowels an

effort at making the star tetrahedron. I could not actually get it to the

complet position but there is a nice energy as it rests as a star of David made

three dimentionally.

I feel it is more of a portal. and speaking of portals. Has anyone enjoyed

making them? They are another way of allowing great energies into your life.

They are so simple to make. I again made a trip to the hobby shop and this

time I got another circle hoop and also an elliptical one as well. I went home

and mounted them on a base after having wrapped them in the copper tape and with

stones both facing points inward and outward as well. I them place a special

stone on the bottom of the hoop and dedicate it to the work of allowing

protective, healing enegies to enter. I ban any other and ask that protection be

given at all times. Now it is " active " when I raise it to its standing position

and " closed " when laid down. I have one that frames a carving and another a

photo that also has a strong crystal at the base. The stones change as the need

changes.

I believe that there are myraid avenues for us to travel and many gifts

simply available to us for the asking. I believe that if we approach what we do

asking for protection it is given and if we honor the ancient gifts that are

with us today we are then gifted more..that we then should share outward.

There is so much that I enjoy of the energy worlds around me and so much

that I have yet to learn but it is great learning as I go especially with such

nice imput from you'all. (now you know I am from the south..huh?)

Anyway, your posts have encouraged me to get to posting some of my photos on

this site. Hope I can do it being that I am still a computer dummy of sorts.

Don't laugh cause just getting through almost 65 trips around the sun leaves me

learning what I see 4 yr olds doing with computers better than I do...geeesh.

Ok. off to post photos. Judy

<snip> ~~~ReNau,

Funny I thought you were a man too. I couldn't tell really, your posts are so

informative.

Your poem is the type that anyone on a 'path' could use to describe their own

desires to a loved one. It made me think of some of my own family to whom I wish

they could understand this message.~~~ <snip>

 

~Chuckling~ I guess being raised with 2 older brothers and having a less then

feminine mother can do that to a woman then. I also tend to enjoy working in a

warehouse environment which are still male-dominant. I enjoy the physical

activity that combines with the mental (shipping and receiving). I also tend to

relate better to males due to all of this. Too many females around me just want

to be clingy and whiney too often and it drives me nuts! lol?

 

The poem " My Path " was actually inspired by a young woman in her upper teens who

was having trouble convincing her parents the her path was different from

theirs. I also had my mother-in-law's minister read it as part of my eulogy when

she (MIL) passed away. I could not read it myself because I was too broken up

about her passing. I loved her dearly and she loved me also and never condemned

me my path.

 

 

<snip> ~~~Also ReNau about the ceiling grid. I was thinking of it yesterday,

when I realised I had a huge ceiling light/fan in the room I wanted to put it

in. Did you do the star around it with no central crystal or did you not have

this problem? What could I do to complete the grid?~~~~ <snip>

 

I actually had to have my husband move the ceiling fixture for me so that the

light would be centered in the grid. Of course with doing this, I had to find

THE perfect light for the new space that spoke more of the nature of a

meditation room and what I was already doing with the ceiling. I found a

mirrored ceiling medallion in a six pointed star shape (faceted or 2-3

dimensional for lack of a better term and not a flat medallion) the mirror and

bronzy/brassy metal frame were done in an antiqued treatment. The light fixture

itself is a small chandelier that is the same finish as the mirror, something of

a pear shaped frame with 5 scrolling " arms " that make up the frame and are

attached top and bottom and bent to create the shape. There are glass dangles in

a tear drop shape creating tiers and there are small metal flowers and leaves

going up the " arms " . It is really quite a dainty and lovely little chandelier

and perfect for a meditation room and also perfect for the size of the space. To

hide the gaping hole in the ceiling without having to deconstruct and

reconstruct the grid (let me tell you it took many many hours to complete due to

the details) I draped fabric from the ceiling with the light fixture dangling

from the center of the fabric. The decagram reminds me of the huge compasses

they would put in mosaics on the?floors of buildings in old times, On the

ceiling it gives something of a caravan tent kind of feel ... so draping fabrics

in various spots (the center and the " voids " between the actual points) softens

the flat surface and gives even more of a caravan tent feel to it. I also didn't

mention that all the points are sponge painted (giving a mottled color effect)

the colors of the elements and spirit. So opposing points are the same color in

the decagram (red, yellow, blue, green and white). the fabric in the voids

alternates silver (Goddess) and gold (God) and is a shimmery gossimer kind of

fabric with stars sparkling in it.

 

In answering your question to Judy about charging the grid again, for me

personally, I feel the only reason I would need to charge the grid again is if I

were to change it's intent (which I do not plan on doing). I " feel " the crystals

that reside in the meditation room are always charged and cleansed and at the

ready for healing and meditation work because of the energy flow of and from the

grid. I also have lots of selenite in the room. So, it is a room full of happy

vibrating crystals. :-D

 

 

<snip> ~~~I've only got small crystals... you said they can be just as powerful.

Do you think if I bury the small crystal quartz points facing inwards in the 5

corners of my property (terrace house), that would help protect it? Would they

really be strong enough to make a difference? ~~~ <snip>

 

If you are wanting to grid the house for protection, I would personally put the

crystals with points facing outward (the intent of repelling negative energies

and such) now if you have enough crystal point to have a set facing out and one

facing in,then you could charge and program the set facing out with repelling

negative energies and the set pointing in with bringing in loving healing

energies. As to would they be strong enough, the answer is .... they will be as

strong as the intent you put into them for protection. The crystals are not

doing all the work for you. You also have to make sure you focus your intent

when charging and programming the crystals as to what you would like them to do.

Some small crystals gridding your home are better then no crystals at all. Do

not second guess whether you are doing it right and do not second guess if you

have enough strength in your intent .... OF COURSE you do! We all do. Let your

intent speak from heart and spirit and not from your analytical mind and you

will be just fine :-D

 

Blessings to your weekend all.
