Origin of crystal grids
Some have said that crystal grids are an ancient tradition, while others say they are a modern invention. So which is true?
It's difficult to pinpoint exactly when and where the first crystal grid was made. Crystal grids seem to have developed around or after the early 1980s. Like the practice of crystal healing today, crystal grids are based on ancient knowledge, traditions and beliefs. There is ample evidence of the meaningful placement of stones and crystals in many different cultures and eras. Perhaps that's where the idea came from, or at least crystal grids follow a similar system.
Megalithic monuments are found all over the world. The stone circles and structures of Europe are well known, truly ancient, but still shrouded in mystery and controversy. The makers of these structures clearly believed in the importance of the stones' use, their position in the landscape and their relationship with the Sun, Moon and quite possibly the stars.
It is thought that places like this were once used for spiritual practices, rituals and healing. Esoteric and metaphysical beliefs about these menhirs say that the ancients tapped into the energy of the Planet. Or that they drew on the energies of the Cosmos. These sites are said to have been built on important landmarks. This includes telluric lines and vortex points, which form where telluric lines converge. This network of energy running across the landscape is closely linked to Sacred Geometry.
What we do know is that these standing stones are placed with a geometric design and aligned with other important monuments. They are also placed to align with the Sun, planetary cycles and constellations.
Stonehenge is one of the world's best-known stone circles. Perhaps these standing stones linked heaven and earth in some way? Their original purpose may have been lost in the mists of time, but there was clearly a deeply meaningful intention behind the placement of these stones.
Modern crystal grids draw on the wisdom of sacred geometry, metaphysical beliefs and crystal healing traditions.
What is a crystal grid?
Crystal grids are incredible tools to use when you feel compelled to call something new into your life. Whether you want to manifest more wealth, love, health, opportunity, the key is simply to declare it. Once you've declared your intention, you immediately set things in motion. Adding a crystal grid to your intention rituals is an incredible way to amplify all your deepest desires.
So what is a crystal grid?
A crystal grid is a specific arrangement (usually using sacred geometry) of gemstones to amplify the energy for a defined intention. As a result, the intention becomes more powerful, allowing for easier manifestation.
Sacred geometry is based on the principle that all things in the universe follow a predefined shape corresponding to their molecular vibration. These shapes and patterns can be observed in art, music, architecture and even in the nests, shells and bones of living beings. Sacred geometry shapes harness their own power, which makes them ideal for crystal grid formation!
Crystal grids may not be the simplest way to use crystals, but they can be very effective. That's why more and more people are working with them.
How to make a crystal grid in 4 steps?
To start making a crystal grid, you'll need:
- Crystals or stones
- A grid template or base (optional, but makes the task easier)
- A flat surface
- If you plan to leave the grid in place for a while, a safe place to set it up.
- An intention
Don't limit yourself to rocks and crystals either. You can use flowers or leaves.
The layout of your crystal grid:
When assembling a crystal grid, it' s always best to follow your intuition. However, most crystal grids include a center stone, surrounding stones, amplification stones and all important objects.
The center stone: Like living beings, crystals have "auras", otherwise known as energy torus. Our chakra line serves as our central axis. When you create a crystal grid, the center stone acts as the anchor of the grid's energy torus, acting as the antennae, which broadcast your intention into the universe. The center stone is generally the largest or most vibratory piece of the grid.
Surrounding stones : These are the crystals that will be arranged in a geometric shape around the central stone. The number you need will depend on how simple or complex you wish to create the grid, as well as the basic shape you've chosen. These act as modifiers for your grid. The surrounding stones also act as satellites, receiving and broadcasting the intention into the world.
Amplification Stones (Optional): These are usually Quartz Points or Tumbles placed in a corresponding outer grid or alternately placed in geometric points between Surrounding Stones. These are not completely necessary, but the Quartz serves to transmit, amplify and further power the grid.
Objects of significance (optional): these can be an object from a special person, a photo or any other item that matches your intention (leaves, petals, flowers, etc.).
Step 1: Define your intention
The first thing to do is determine why you're creating a grid. Possible goals could include abundance, love or even passing a difficult test.
Step 2: Choose a grid shape
We can see many grids on Instagram, but a grid can also be a simple circle or square. All shapes carry a different energy.
Step 3: Choose your stones
You'll want to choose crystals that have properties that coincide with your intention. These include stones like kyanite to aid communication, heart chakra stones like rose quartz and malachite for compassion and self-acceptance, prehnite to call in spirit guides and amazonite around the rim for universal love.
You don't have to break the bank buying crystals. Simply use the ones you already have at home, even if it means including elements of nature like flower petals if they coincide with your intention. Perhaps you have some special objects you've found, like seashells, that mean something to you. These can replace the stones and add even deeper meaning to your grid because of their personal connection to you.
Remember to clean and recharge your crystals before placing them on the grid. The energizing tray is perfect for this purpose.
This allows you to program your crystals for the intention you have set:
1. Hold your cleaned crystal(s) in your hands.
2. Sit for a few moments with your eyes closed. Be really clear about your intention.
3. Raise your crystal in front of your third eye (between and just above your eyes).
4. Concentrate on what you want (in thought or out loud). For example: "I program this crystal for..." or "I charge this crystal for..." or "I ask this crystal to help me with..."
Step 4: Activate your grid using your voice
Once you have your grid in place, activate it with your intention. This means saying the intention out loud so the universe knows you're serious.
Every time you pass your grid, you can hold your hand over your heart and solar plexus and remind yourself of its purpose. Crystals come from the earth, they heal. They are supportive. They're there for you. We walk on them all the time.
For this reason, crystal grids are a way to amplify their energetic healing properties in your home where there isn't too much good vibration.
How to activate a crystal grid?
Although each individual crystal has specific properties, a unique frequency that helps manifest desires and intentions on its own, have you ever felt like you needed something a little stronger? A crystal grid uses sacred geometry to align the frequencies of multiple crystals to enhance the effect and manifest your desires more quickly. A crystal grid will take the multiple stones you've chosen, align their frequencies and focus them into a singular master crystal to ensure that the universe hears your intentions and moves you towards your desires.
Use a crystal or metal wand, a pendulum or your bare hands to expand your energy field to amplify and transmit your intention to the grid.
Before activating your grid, it's best to write a clear, concise statement of what you want to manifest. Repeat the statement aloud, if possible, and point your wand or hand at the center stone. Visualize it lighting up with your intention and the influx of energy.
Then go around and "connect the dots" with your wand or hand over each crystal in your belt. It's sometimes helpful to visualize the energy torus around the expanding grid. When you feel the time is right, conclude by expressing your gratitude for the support of the crystals.
Crystal grid box - How to make a reiki crystal grid?
The Reiki Antahkarana grid is a powerful energy technique taught in Reiki Usui 3. This practice uses rock crystals arranged in a specific way to form an energy grid, on a symbol representing a 3-dimensional square.
The crystals are activated and programmed according to a specific protocol. In this way, the programmed and activated grid enables Reiki to act continuously on the issues being treated. These issues are noted on paper with specific symbols, then positioned on the grid. This practice is known to intensify the power of energy work and prolong the action of the energy over time.

The benefits of crystal grids
Generally speaking, building a crystal grid will help you connect with yourself and with nature.
As crystals are energy transmitters and conductors, they can be used to treat body, mind and spirit. They can therefore help us to:
- treat ailments of all kinds, including stress, addictions, etc.
- work on blockages, whether conscious or unconscious,
- change our conscious and unconscious beliefs, helping us to become aware of what we need to see and change for our greater good
- reinforce intentions and affirmations. Indeed, as they can perceive and receive human thoughts and emotions, they can be programmed by thought and by the power of intention if we connect to them.
- absorb/neutralize low-vibrational energies
- calm our minds and achieve greater mental clarity
- ground ourselves
- raise our vibrational frequency
- meditate
Just as many enjoy coloring mandalas, crystal grids are a great tool for children, teens, and adults, especially when it comes to mental health. Making grids can help to:
- Reduce anxiety and stress
- Foster a positive state of mind
- Promote mindfulness
- Help promote calmness and sleep
- Boost confidence and self-esteem
- Increase concentration and memory
- Create feelings of happiness
- Encourage creativity and imagination
- Connect with nature
The benefits are very similar between the two activities.
When a child or teenager starts building a grid, they immediately slow down. Their energy levels become less frenetic. They engage their senses. Their creativity and artistic expression are given free rein. It's really fascinating to watch.
And it works for adults too J

Crystal grids with sacred geometry: Mandala, Flower of Life and Metatron Cube
Geometric shapes, which exist everywhere from our cells to the Galaxies, are considered to represent the fingerprint of the divine. They are like the framework of creation and all life. Without geometry, there would be no manifest world and no life forms.
In recent years, sacred geometry has become increasingly explored outside esoteric groups. The subject is vast, encompassing ancient cultures, traditions, religions, architecture, genetics, biology, physics, astrophysics, spirituality, cosmology, numerology and philosophy.
If you look, sacred geometry is the basis of almost all crystal grid designs. And that's just as well, since we offer several supports to help you create your grids simply: harmonizing mat, energizing tray.
You can choose the sacred geometry symbol that speaks to you most, or that relates to the intention you wish to set.
The crystalline structure of most minerals is geometric. The formations of some crystals, such as quartz crystals, show clear geometric shapes. These geometries are part of the synergistic power of crystal grids. The microscopic geometric shapes and patterns of crystals help to form the energetic plane behind the crystal grids.
Sacred geometry is used to align with larger energies such as those of the Earth and the Universe. Crystals are arranged in these shapes to connect to these geometric energy fields and focus the crystals' energies towards a desired outcome.
Tapping into the Earth's energy field helps to manifest things in the physical world, where they are needed.
By using Sacred Geometry, you also ensure that your desire or goal is aligned with that of the Universe and your life's plan or purpose.
Some of our favorite shapes that we've transformed into crystal grids are:
Mandala crystal grid
Although mandalas don't require the use of crystals, they are linked to the use of crystal grids. The word mandala comes from an ancient Sanskrit word meaning "circle". A mandala can also incorporate other shapes. Mandalas are found in many traditions and date back thousands of years. They represent the universe, displaying sections of the physical and spiritual worlds.
Buddhist monks are trained to create these mandalas using colored sand, which naturally contains quartz. Sometimes powdered crystals or gemstone beads are used. Creating mandalas is a form of focused meditation practice.
Once a mandala has been created, it is destroyed. This represents the temporal nature and illusion of time and space.
Metatron's Cube crystal grid
The Metatron's Cube represents the journey of energy through the universe and balance in the universe. It's an excellent symbol to use when you want to manifest feelings like patience, happiness and curiosity.
Seed of Life Crystal Grid
The Seed of Life is the gateway to infinite possibilities. It represents all possible beginnings and paths in life. This pattern can be used for any intention and is particularly useful when working with balance, harmony, truth, protection, creation and completion.
In the image on the left, the crystal grid has been created on an energizing indigo Graine de Vie wooden tray (the lacquered coating provides beautiful reflections) and on the right, on a harmonizing multicolored Graine de Vie mat.
Flower of Kife Crystal Grid
The Flower of Life represents the cycle of life. This symbol is believed to contain the most significant and sacred motifs in our universe. It's an excellent choice if you're looking for guidance or answers in a certain area of your life.
How to deactivate a crystal grid?
Once you've finished working with a crystal grid, you'll want to deactivate it and use the crystals for something else. It's vital that you clean and deprogram all the crystals. They will hold your intentions, which could interfere with their use in the future. This could cause confusing effects on other crystal grids in which you might use them.
The crystals continue to do their work until you tell them to stop. Think of it as a radio signal that never stops broadcasting. When the time comes and your crystals have finished their work, use the following method to deactivate the grid. This will clean and deprogram all the crystals and any other elements used.
1. Start by removing all crystals from their position in the crystal grid, as well as any other items you've used.
2. Hold all crystals and objects together in your hands, if possible. If not, you can work in batches. Close your eyes and take three deep breaths.
3. Now visualize a beam of pure white light descending from above, through your crown chakra (at the top of your head) to your heart chakra (in the center of your chest). Move down your arms and into your hands.
4. See this Universal White Light in your mind filling and surrounding crystals and objects.
5. Concentrate on clearing everything, saying aloud or in your head "I'm clearing, purifying and rebalancing these crystals of all negative, unbalanced or fear-based energies, now!"
6. Then follow with "I clear and delete all previous patterns and programs stored in this crystal grid, now!"
7. When you feel this has been done, open your eyes.
Once this has been done, your crystals and all other elements are completely clear and deactivated. Everything is ready to be put away for now or reused for other crystal grids or whatever you want in the future.
Why isn't your crystal grid working?
Crystal grids are a tool for manifesting and creating change. As with all methods of manifestation, sometimes things don't work exactly as planned, or at all. There are reasons why this can happen. If you've created a crystal grid and haven't yet seen the results or felt the effects of it, see if any of the reasons below could be the cause and find out what to do about it.
1) There's no set time for crystal grids to work, so make sure you've given it a few months if possible. Every intention, situation and grid is unique.
2) Clutter accumulation and electromagnetic fields
This is one of the most common reasons why your crystal grid doesn't work the way you want it to. Look at where the crystal grid is placed. Is it a messy area? Is there an accumulation of clutter around it? Give your grids room to breathe, or consider moving them elsewhere.
3) Physical cleaning
Keep your crystal grid free of dust. Dust carries stagnant energy, and in our homes it's mostly dead skin cells. You can see and feel the difference once you've dusted the area with whatever grid base you've used and all the crystals.
4) Energetic cleaning
Another common reason why a crystal grid doesn't work as well as it should is that it may need cleaning. Try to clean your grids once a month (palo santo, incense, reiki, moonlight etc.). Once all the elements of the grid have been cleansed, simply rearrange your crystals if you've moved them. There's no need to reactivate the grid, your intention remains.
5) Don't act
Crystals help, but they don't do the work for you. Depending on the type of grid you've created, is there anything you should be doing to support the change you want to see? If it was for healing, are you taking care of your health and reducing stress? If it was for prosperity, what are you doing to earn more money?
If your actions aren't in line with what you want to see, it creates blockages.
6) Negative thoughts
Your thoughts affect the world around you, and if they're very negative, they can block the intention behind your grid. You are bound to the grids you create. If you constantly doubt what you want to manifest, it's unlikely to work.
7) Unclear intentions
Think carefully about your grid's intention and how you kept this in mind when you activated the grid. This is an important step. If you placed a note under the center stone or recorded the details of the grid in a journal, read it again. Make sure your wording is clear, positive and can't mean anything else.
If you think it could be improved or reworded, make the changes and reactivate your grid. Mental clarity is also important, so when you activate your grid, take time to relax and meditate to help clear your mind.
