INTRODUCTION

Welcome to a wonderful journey into the mysteries, wonder, and power of crystal grids based on the patterns of life that are the basis of all creation. When crystals are arranged properly on a well-designed grid, their energies are combined, magnified, and reinforced. Combining the energies of different crystals according to the patterns of life allows for the creation of crystal grids to be used for virtually any purpose.

Using crystal grids effectively will allow you to combine the power of the fundamental designs that form our universe with the healing and spiritual energies of crystals. Crystal grids will greatly expand the effectiveness of crystals by combining their energies.

Combining crystal energies in certain orders and within specific forms and structures, when done with understanding and knowledge, provides a way to greatly expand the power and energy of crystals in wonderful and highly effective ways. Like the difference between a single player on a sports field and a full team in formation for a play, a crystal by itself certainly has energy and capability, but when it is part of a well-constructed grid, its effects can be combined with those of other crystals. No matter what your need, with the knowledge and guidance found in this book you can construct a highly effective crystal grid to align and amplify the universal life force for any purpose.

Combining grid structures and crystal energies needs to be done with knowledge. Putting a bunch of highly skilled sports players on a field in a random formation would not produce an effective result. Even having a good organizational structure but placing the players in the wrong places would still not be effective. The combination of the right crystals in the right places on the right grid is required for optimum results.

Knowing which crystals to use and where to place them requires knowledge of the energies of crystals—their crystal energy matrices and their color rays of influence. To know which grid pattern to use, we need to unlock the secrets of the universal patterns of life. We next need to apply that knowledge to focus, amplify, and harmonize the energies of the crystals. We need to be able to see the energy flows in the patterns, and we need to understand how the designs align and focus the many types of crystal energies.

The first part of this book will develop the methodologies and explain the concepts you will need to design, construct, use, and benefit from crystal grids. It contains a lot of theory, but you need not dwell on it. The material supports the designs that are presented in the second half of the book. When you are ready to modify one of the designs or create a new one, you can use the first part of the book to personalize a grid or to develop one for a very specific need. In the second part of the book, we will apply the knowledge of combining crystals and grid designs to provide you with specific crystal grids.

To begin, let’s define a crystal grid. A crystal grid is a predefined set of multiple crystals arranged in a harmonic, usually geometric, relationship. This combination and arrangement of crystals works synergistically with the design to convert and focus the external energy that impinges upon it in a variety of forms (e.g., sound, light, electromagnetism) into a unified energy field tuned to a particular need or requirement. In short, a crystal grid is an arrangement of crystals on a specific design or shape that focuses the universal life force in a particular way for a particular purpose.

In our practice we are often asked, Just why do I need a crystal grid? Isn’t the energy in a single crystal enough for my needs? The answer to these questions (like the answer to many questions) is it depends. There are many times when a single crystal can be all that is required for a particular need. Properly prepared and used, crystals can be highly effective in channeling the universal life force to meet a need. But sometimes you need more. You might need the extra help of different energies that cannot be found in a single crystal. You might need to tune, further amplify, combine, or shape a crystal’s energy with other energies for a particular need. When you find that your needs exceed what a single crystal can help you accomplish, you are ready for a crystal grid.

THE CRYSTALS

Crystal Energy Lattices

The crystals on a crystal grid are not random selections. They are chosen carefully, based upon a clear understanding of the energies of the individual crystals. This knowledge is expanded further with insight into the interactions of those energies with other crystal energies. Until very recently, selecting and arranging crystals on a grid was mostly guesswork and trial and error. Sometimes a grid worked and sometimes it did not. There was really no way to understand why a particular combination worked or did not. However, that is no longer the case. What was once hidden from us is now visible. What was once not understood is finally clear.

From almost the beginning of printing, there have been many volumes written attempting to explain the hidden power of gemstones and crystals. But none of them were very accurate. They were based mostly on somewhat questionable science. Until very recently, our gems, minerals, and crystals kept their secrets hidden. However, with the invention of modern scientific tools, such as x-ray diffraction, scientists can now see the actual internal structure of all minerals and crystals. Using our modern instruments, we can now explore the very energy lattices that define and shape a crystal’s core power. With modern capabilities, we can now understand how the crystal energy lattices work. Through modern science, we can finally see the six secret energy structures of crystals and unravel their mysteries. Understanding the energy matrices within crystals forms the basis for selecting, arranging, and using crystals effectively on a crystal grid.¹

Scientists have found that there are six different internal crystal lattices. All crystals form in one of these arrangements. Each of the different arrangements of atoms forms a particular energy conduit. Fortunately for us, these crystal energies align with the basic needs of humans. But then again, why wouldn’t they? We are of this world, this earth. We have adapted to survive and prosper here. We are made of the same energy as this world. We evolved to prosper on this planet. It would be more surprising to discover that we were somehow misaligned with nature’s crystals!

Once we understand our basic human needs, and understand how they match the hidden crystal energy structures of this world’s minerals, we will readily see how those crystal energy structures can help us find what we seek, guard what we value, and protect us from adversity and harm when we use them properly on a grid.

Human needs and desires fall primarily into five basic categories. The first three relate to acquiring and protecting things we value, and the other two are related to avoiding that which we do not desire. These five needs are universal, timeless, and independent of culture, religion, gender, age, or intelligence. We have more than one need at a time.

SEEKERS: The Crystals That Form in the Hexagonal Crystal Structure

We humans are unique in our search for elements in our lives that are missing. Life is a constant quest. Everyone is looking for something or someone. We all seek food, shelter, love, companionship, victory, security, success, fortune, fame, possessions, health, and meaning in our lives. We seek stimulation, relaxation, knowledge, wisdom, peace, prosperity, and a thousand other things.

The crystals that form in the hexagonal arrangement help us achieve what we desire (Figure 1). They point the way forward. They aim our energies. Like an arrow seeking a target, these Seeker crystals are used for the key components of crystal grids built to help us find what we seek.

Figure 1: Hexagonal Crystal Structure

The Seekers are powerful, numerous, and very useful on grids designed to ensure success in starting a new effort. The Seeker crystals help us to discover new opportunities and set out to achieve new goals. These are the fresh-start crystals, the crystals of new beginnings and new discoveries. These are crystals used as pointers, directors, and compasses. These crystals bring the energy of adventure and discovery to our grids. They help us align our grids to our feelings. When we need help finding new relationships, new love, new capabilities, new experiences, or new ways of living, we need to use Seeker crystals on our grids. Seekers empower us to focus and amplify our ability to seek out the new elements we desire in our lives. Seeker crystals from the hexagonal crystal system contain the crystal energy structure that aligns the natural energy of the crystal to the natural power of the human mind to find ways to new horizons and new capabilities.

There are many Seekers crystals (see the list in the back of this book). The most common one is quartz. It comes in many forms, such as clear quartz, amethyst, and citrine. It occurs in microcrystalline form, such as the thousands of agates and jaspers. Calcite, tourmaline, emerald, aquamarine, and morganite are also well-known Seekers.

ENHANCERS: The Crystals That Form in the Isometric Crystal System

Next, we strive to enhance that which we possess and value. If we have some success, we want more. If we have some talent, we want to make it grow. If we have a small fortune, we want a bigger one. If we win a minor golf tournament, we want to win a major one.

One of the strengths of humankind is that we all seem to have a desire to constantly improve our environment and ourselves. Civilization is possible because of this valuable human trait. We develop new drugs to enhance our medical care, we develop new tools to become more productive, and we build new social structures to advance our quality of life.

When we are building a crystal grid to improve some part of our lives, we need to use the crystals from the isometric crystal system. These are the crystals with internal crystal lattices of perfect cubic symmetry and internal harmony (Figure 2). These are the building-block crystals. Their internal structure is that of perfect cubic crystal lattices that can help us focus our efforts to build on our successes.

Figure 2: Isometric Crystal Structure

Many of these Enhancer crystals bring energy that is focused on self-improvement. We all seem to be trying to get better at something, both physically and mentally. We want to be able to run faster, jump higher, shoot more accurately, serve a tennis ball faster, or just jog all the way to the corner. We want a lower golf score, a faster personal best time in a 10K race, or a higher batting average. We want to bench-press 220 pounds or just bend over and put our palms on the floor without bending our knees. We want to learn a new language, get a better grade on the next test, or finally understand algebra. As Enhancers, these crystals are used on our grids to focus and enhance our energy to produce the actions we need to improve.

The Enhancer crystals include some common minerals. Crystals such as garnets, fluorite, pyrite, spinel, halite, and lapis lazuli are readily available and are suitable for use on many crystal grids.

GUARDIANS: The Crystals That Form in the Monoclinic Crystal System

Third, we wish to guard that which we possess and value. Once we find food, shelter, love, and other objects of our desire, it becomes important to protect these things. We exercise to protect our health, build fences and raise armies to protect our property, and act civilly to protect our reputations and relationships. Defending ourselves, our property, our culture, our way of life, and our loved ones is a constant battle. Nature has no compassion. Nature provides us with resources to use, but we must maintain a constant vigilance against the loss of that which we possess and desire.

When we desire to protect our possessions from harm or loss, we need Guardian crystals. The minerals of the monoclinic crystal system have an internal structure that is composed of parallelograms (Figure 3). The parallel structure of their crystalline lattice gives these crystals the power to protect us in both the physical world and the spiritual one. Physically, some of these Guardian minerals have legendary strength. Jadeite jade is by far the toughest stone in existence.

The Guardian crystals do not reveal their inner strength. These stones rarely, if ever, form transparent crystals. Rather, they hide their strength behind an opaque mask, obscuring the power they possess. They guard their secrets well. When we have a need to protect valuable possessions, we will do well to include Guardian stones in our grids. They can help us focus our energies effectively in protecting that which we hold dear.

Figure 3: Monoclinic Crystal Structure

The Guardian crystals have a wide spectrum of uses in crystal grids. In grids for physical protection, they are critical components to focus energy to protect our loved ones, our possessions, our physical security, and our bodies. They are very useful in grids for protecting houses and homes, property, and valuables.

Guardian crystals are also used in grids focused on spiritual values. They bring the strength we need to guard our beliefs against doubt. A Guardian crystal can help us keep true to our ideals and beliefs, offering us strength of character. The Guardian crystals in a grid can also protect our spirit. If we anticipate a trying and difficult future, a Guardian can be very effective in aiding our efforts to maintain our disposition, sense of humor, and respect for others.

In addition to jade, the Guardian crystals include such minerals as azurite, malachite, diopside, howlite, gypsum, mica, and serpentine. These are relatively common and are excellent, cost-effective crystals for grids.

DISPELLERS: Crystals That Form in the Orthorhombic Crystal System

Our fourth human need is to free ourselves from that which we possess yet do not want.

We want to get rid of pain, sickness, worry, and other unpleasant things. For these needs, the Dispeller crystals that form in the orthorhombic system are used on our grids. These crystals have diamond-shaped internal crystal arrangements that are similar to those of the cubic system, but they have one
