Build One for Yourself

1.     Your Intention.

Your first step would be to decide what you want the Crystal grid to empower.

Next you will need a representation of that goal, person or situation that you want to direct the energy towards.

If it's a goal or situation, then write it down, in the present tense and positively, on a piece of paper.

If it's for a person, a picture works well with a positive affirmation written in the present moment on the back of the picture.

I would also suggest that you add to your written affirmation or goal the following or a similar statement ~ for the highest and greatest good of all ~ 

2.     Your Requirements.

To create your Crystal grid you will need:

i. Eight crystals.

I find that using Clear Quartz crystal points (single or double) works exceptionally well in most situations. If you feel the need to choose different crystals, make sure that you choose seven of the same kind and of even sizes and one Clear Quartz point.

Choose your crystals with care and sensitivity keeping their intended purpose in mind, allow your intuition to guide you.

Cleanse your crystals before use them on your Crystal grid. (For a Short refresher go here)

ii. Attune your crystals to the creative energies of the earth, sun and moon

This can be done by placing them part way in the earth, the tips pointing up if using Clear Quartz points, during the three days of the full moon.

Make sure that the light of the sun and moon will shine on them. Set your intention that the creative forces of the earth, sun and moon will assist you in your highest spiritual purpose.

iii. Choose a space for your Crystal grid.

I recommend that you use a space that you will have easy access to but where the crystal grid will not be moved or disturbed. You could use an altar or a sacred place in your home on a desk top or shelf. Cleanse and clear the space using the principals of space clearing.                 

iv. Select your master charging crystal for your crystal grid.

If you have chosen Clear Quartz points, select the Clear Quartz point that feel to have the strongest energy.

On the other hand if you have chosen different crystals a Clear Quartz point should be your master charging crystal (Centre of the Grid).

v. Program the crystals.

Crystals can receive and hold thought forms and projecting these thought forms into the crystal consciously, is called programming.

The term "programming" is used since this process is similar to computer programming because the information or commands are stored in the molecular structure of the quartz crystal as magnetic charged data. Thought forms are pictures and/or other sensory data that is powered or intensified by emotion.

 Programming - Method1

• Think of the end result you will have if the program worked.
• Sit quietly in a relaxed and alert state.
• Watch your breath flow slowly in and out, close your eyes and allow your   body to relax even more.
• Feel peace flow in with each breath and negativity leave you with the out breath.
• Peace becomes part of your very being as your mind becomes quiet.
• Hold the crystal in your dominant hand and place your other hand over the crystal asking that the crystal may only be used in a good and positive way.
• Touch the crystal to your heart and visualize a pink mist surrounding your crystal, emanating from your heart.
• Feel this love coming from deep within, as it pours into your crystal.
• Remain in a relaxed state and hold your crystal in your dominant hand with your other hand covering the crystal.
• Visualize an energy connection between you and your crystal, (i.e. a white chord of light).
• Then speak to the crystal aloud or silently.
• It is always best to use your own words, I would say something like;

"I intend for this crystal to be effective for __________ in light and love for the highest and greatest good of all."

• Picture in your mind the end result, that which you most want to happen, happening inside your crystal, make the picture as clear as possible using as many of your senses as you can , see it, smell it, touch it, hear it, taste it.
• Slowly open your eyes.

Programming - Method 2

• Think of the end result you would have if the program worked.
• Now place the crystal against your brow. (the direction the crystal is pointing makes no difference)
• Relax; sit quietly in an alert state. Close your eyes and go inside your crystal.
• Picture in your mind the end result, that which you most want to happen, happening inside your crystal, make the picture as clear as possible using as many of your senses as you can, see it, smell it, touch it, hear it, taste it.
• When it feels real, come out of your crystal and open your eyes.

 Laying out The Grid.

i. Place the representation of the goal on the surface where the grid will be built, trust your intuition, place this representation wherever it feels right to you.

ii. Refer to the Diagram 1 and place seven of the crystals as follows:

When using Clear Quartz single terminated points, points face to the middle. See diagram below.

1st crystal on the red X top left.

2nd crystal on the green X top right.

3rd crystal on the blue X middle right.

4th crystal on the orange X bottom right.

5th crystal on the pink X bottom left.

6th crystal on the brown X middle left.

7th crystal on the black X in the middle with point facing the first placed crystal on the red X.

After the crystals are in position, do not move them as this will weaken their energy connection.

Diagram 1 (go here to print out this grid and the Above layout)

iii. Charge your master crystal. Place your Clear Quartz point in the midday sunlight amongst greenery for about 2 hours. (This can be done wile you make all the above preparations)

All crystals are now in position, your representation of what you want to energize and empower is in place and you have you master crystal charged.

Keeping your intention for your Crystal grid in mind, ask your highest guides as well as the angels and archangels to work with you in charging your Crystal grid.

iv. Place your master crystal in your right hand and with the crystal point facing down, above the grid, imagine energy pouring from the master crystal and charging your Crystal grid.

v. Refer to Diagram 2 below and charge your Crystal grid as follows

(Go Here to print out the grid and directions)

Starting at nr.1 in the Centre

As you do this, repeat an affirmation/mantra of power, such as:

"I empower this grid with light, with light, with light, to heal, to heal, to heal.

I empower this grid with love, with love, with love and wisdom, wisdom, wisdom, to heal, to heal, to heal.

I call on my highest spiritual guides now to attune this grid of light, light, light, to heal, to heal, to heal, with love, with love, with love."

Again feel free to use your creative intuition to create empowering affirmations or mantras that feel right for you.

Diagram 2

vi. When you have completed one full circle (1-18), repeat 2 more times around  the grid.

vii. Tap the centre crystal and spiral up into the air with your master crystal and then spiral back down to the crystals (not touching them) while having the intent of the Crystal grid in your mind especially during the spirals.

You are now done; this Crystal grid will run continuously until interrupted or until its purpose is fulfilled.

If you need to move the grid for any reason you will have to start at the beginning again.

Building a Reiki Crystal Grid

Here you would start building you grid in the same way as above following the first two steps (Steps 1 and Step 2 up to point iv).

As well as any other cleansing methods, you can also cleanse your crystals with water and Reiki.

Hold the crystal with the finger tips of both hands and let the tap water flow over the crystal while imagining the white or violet light of Reiki cleansing it and removing all negative energy.

i. Next you will need the representation of the goal, person or situation that you want to direct the energy towards.

Draw your Reiki symbols on the back along with their names and include an empowering affirmation. Trusting your intuition, place this representation on the grid, wherever it feels right to you.

ii. Your next step is to "program" the crystals. Crystals can receive and hold thought forms and projecting these thought forms into the crystal consciously, is called programming.

The term "programming" is used since this process is similar to computer programming because the information or commands are stored in the molecular structure of the quartz crystal as magnetic charged data. Thought forms are pictures and/or other sensory data that is powered or intensified by emotion.

• Firstly determine the purpose of the program.
• Visualize the end result you will have after the program worked.
• Sit quietly in a relaxed and alert state.
• Watch your breath flow slowly in and out, close your eyes and allow your body to relax even more.
• Feel peace flow in with each breath and negativity leave you with the out breath.
• Peace becomes part of your very being as your mind becomes quiet.
• Charge your crystals individually and channel healing energy into each one for at least ten minutes, using all your Reiki symbols if you have done Reiki II and III.    

As you do this, ask that your highest spiritual guides attune to the crystal so as to assist you.

• Ask the angels, the archangels and your Reiki guides to work with you when charging the grid.
• If you’ve done your Reiki III, you can also do a Reiki attunement on each  crystal to give them an even greater charge of high frequency energy.
• As you charge each crystal, place it in its proper position in the grid as  detailed below.

iv. Your next step is to charge your master crystal.

Place your Clear Quartz point in the midday sunlight amongst greenery for about 2 hours. The master crystal is to be used to keep your Crystal grid charged. (This can be done while making all the other preparations)

v. Charging you Master Crystal

• Sit quietly in a relaxed and alert state.
• Watch your breath flow slowly in and out, close your eyes and allow your body to relax even more.
• Ask the angels, the archangels and your Reiki guides to work with you as you charge your master crystal with Reiki.
• Charge it by channelling healing energy into it for at least ten minutes, using all your Reiki symbols and their names. Use the names of the Reiki symbols as a mantra to keep your attention focused.
• If you’ve done your Reiki III, you can also do a Reiki attunement on your master crystal to give it an even greater charge of high frequency energy.

All crystals are now in position, the representation of what you want to energize and empower is in place and you have you master crystal charged.

NB: Keeping your intention for your Crystal grid in mind and ask your Reiki guides, the angels and archangels to work with you in charging your Crystal grid.

vi. Place your master crystal in your right hand and with the crystal point facing down, above the grid, imagine Reiki energy pouring from the master crystal and charging your Crystal grid.

Refer to Diagram 2 below and charge your Crystal grid as follows:

 A Quick refresher on Cleansing Crystals

Place your crystals in direct sunlight for 3 to 4 hours.

Cover your crystals with brown rice for 24 hours.

Use running water as follows: – Hold your crystals under running water and imagine   all the negativity flowing out of your crystal as little minus signs and going down the drain. Then imagine your crystal being filled with loads of positive energy (with little plus signs)
