How to Work With Crystal Grids

How To Work With Crystal Grids

By know you already know that I’m alllll about switching up the energy in your home to make it a calm and relaxing sanctuary. There are lots of different ways to do this (I’ve covered energy cleansing over here and Feng Shui here) but crystal grids are a favorite option of mine that also yields big results.

The wonderful thing about crystal grids is that they can be as simple or elaborate as you want them to be. Set them up permanently or use them just during those times when you need a little extra help. Their versatility makes them very satisfying to create so have some fun experimenting!

Crystal Grid


When To Use A Crystal Grid

If you’re into crystals already, you’re already familiar with the energy they can produce. Creating a crystal grid is just a way of making your crystals work together for a common purpose and it’s the perfect way to supercharge an intention or desire.


Setting An Intention

Action without intention is ineffectual. So think about the purpose of your grid before you get started. Are you looking to feel grounded or protected? Or perhaps you are creating a grid for creative energy for your office space. Remember that you can create new grids any time you need to so feel free to get super-specific with your desired results.


Which Crystals to Use

While you can use any stone, my two favorite crystals for the home are: obsidian or black tourmaline (both for grounding/ protection) and clear crystal quartz (for clarity). Selenite is another great option for it’s protective energy. You can also go with green crystals (like citrine) for prosperity, pink stones (like rose quartz) for love or healing crystals (like fluorite) if you are going through turbulent times.

But it’s impossible to go truly wrong with your selection! So always go with what feels intuitively right for you.

I like small tumbled stones for home crystal grid purposes but of course, larger ones are also great. Small ones are good because you can “hide” them easily. To keep them out of the way for cleaning (or bratty cats), I’ve taped mine to the legs of furniture and once to the wall! You can also sneak them into planters or behind stacks of books. Sometimes you just don’t want alllll your weird hippie stuff on display! (But if you do that’s cool too.)

Crystal Grid


Crystal Placement

To create a very basic grid, all you need is four crystals.

Place one in each corner of the house. You can also place one in each corner of just your bedroom or even in every corner of every room! Again, it’s all up for your own interpretation.

Placing a crystal grid under your bed is an awesome idea if you are looking for a boost of energy. Personally, I find this much too stimulating but if you are feeling lethargic then give it a go.

Of course, you can also get wild and create some really intricate grids, as the photos here show.

Optional: Center Crystal

Use a crystal point or pyramid in the center of the room (or arrangement) to act as an energetic center for the grid.


Linking It All Together

Using a crystal quartz point, draw invisible lines from each crystal to the next to link their energies together. If I was working with a basic four stone grid, I would link them together with an X-shape as well as a square just to make sure all the energies really mesh.

How to Use Crystals in Your Home

by: Jenn

How To Use Crystals In The Home - Plus Free Cheatsheet! - The Aligned Life

Confession: I’ve always loved crystals!

So it’s no surprise that I absolutely love to incorporate them into my home.

As far as I’m concerned, it just doesn’t feel like home without some! (I am also the type of person who always drags home random rocks from my travels so I suppose this only makes sense.)

But clearly I’m not alone on this one. Crystals have become almost synonymous with the New Age world–and with all the flaky stereotypes that go along with it.

But there are still some great reasons to include crystals in your home whether you believe in their powers or not.

For starters, since they are from the Earth they bring their own powerful natural earth energy to their surroundings. They naturally conduct energy, both giving it out and purifying it. If you are also using Feng Shui principles in your space (and I recommend that you do) the colors of the stones can be used for various Feng Shui purposes. The stones themselves are also a perfect for anywhere you need an Earth element. Plus many people–New Age-y or not–are just naturally attracted to them and find them fascinating. The last reason alone is enough for me to regard them as being quite special.


Crystals For Your Home Tip #1:

How to Choose Crystals for Your Home

There is all kinds of literature out there telling you about what stone to pick for what reason. And that can all be very helpful to a certain point. But I always think the best way to choose a crystal is to let it find you.

Sound weird? Don’t worry–it’s not quite as strange as it first sounds. If you walk into a crystal shop, it’s really common for one stone to “stand out” more than the others. It might happen to catch your eye or maybe when you pick it up you can just sense that it’s different from the rest. It’s definitely worth giving it a shot if you have a crystal shop near you.

There is also nothing wrong with just choosing ones that look good to you! But I would still recommend going to an actual crystal shop to see them rather than making a purchase online.


Crystals For Your Home Tip #2:

Cleansing Your Crystals

Before using your stone in the home, be sure to give it a cleansing first to remove any lingering energy from the store or anyone else who might have touched it. This can be done by simply holding the stone under running water from a faucet or by placing in the moonlight during the full moon. (Every month I charge my crystals with this method!)


Crystals For Your Home Tip #3:

Where to Use Crystals

If you have Feng Shui elements already at play in your space, crystals are a perfect complement. Think a citrine stone near your Money corner or a rose quartz in your Love and Relationships zone.

Crystal grids are another powerful choice that isn’t as common. Creating a grid just involves laying out multiple crystals around your space in a deliberate and intentional way. You can make a very simple crystal grid by placing a small tumbled stone in each of the four corners of your home to represent protection and to generally improve the energy of your space. Small stones are really easy to disguise so don’t get discouraged by thinking you need to create a huge display for this to work. (You can also create very elaborate crystal grids if you like! I’ll do a specific post on this in the future.)




I hope you found this helpful! Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Right now, your SOUL is calling for your magic.S Right now, your SOUL is calling for your magic.So are you ready to answer the call?I know life doesn't seem so magical at times.And I also know that when you're down or feeling defeated it's REALLY EASY to forget one simple thing.The magic is IN you.And it always has been!Every time we tell ourselves that we're not strong enoughOr good enough or smart enoughOr that we need someone or something ELSE to swoop in and "fix" usWe're opting out of using OUR power.But none of that stuff means that you AREN'T magic.It simply means that you've FORGOTTEN and fallen out of touch.But every day brings us a new opportunity to connect with our TRUTH.So what are YOU going to do with your magic today?How can YOU decide to change your life for the better, even if only by the tiniest degree?If you feel like sharing, drop me a comment below!And if you need a little help unlocking your magic, then reach out! I'm looking for a few special souls who are ready to undo their old ways of being so they can BLOSSOM into their dream life. Is that you? Send me a DM to learn more!
The present creates the past.Or, in other words, The present creates the past.Or, in other words, your STORY about the who, the what, the why IS the only thing that matters.Mindset work won't change the facts of course.It's not going to go back in time to change things or make other people suddenly see the light.(Damnit!)But it can change the person you BECAME because of what happened.Sometimes we close ourselves off to our own miracles because we're clinging so hard to those old stories.When we think that because the past is set in stone, our stories have to stay the same too.I get it though! I used to be SHOCKINGLY ATTACHED to my sob story, firmly stuck in victim mode.All the time DREAMING about where I wanted to go--and confused as to why I wasn't there yet.Fortunately (after a lot of STRUGGLE) I opened my mind to change, massive shifts and MIRACLES.That's why I can tell you that getting stuck in wishing things were different cuts us off from both our power in the present and our ability to process.So know this my beautiful soul: the only liberation we need is our own.When you get brave enough to finally DO that, your whole world really will change.(& PS if you need a little help creating your own miracle, I have a few coaching spots open! Wanna learn more about how to apply this powerful work to your life? Send me a DM & let's chat!)
And now for a quick message from your Higher Self: And now for a quick message from your Higher Self:Love yourself enough to LET IT GOBreathe deep & have a happy Sunday my beautiful babes!
You are magic itself.And your desires have meani You are magic itself.And your desires have meaning for the WORLD.So if you really KNEW that you were here to feel happy and do the things that bring you joy, what would you be doing differently?If you’re like me, it’s too easy to forget our true divine nature.It’s too easy to believe our worries and limitations more than we trust ourselves and this beautiful journey.But if you could trust your magic for just a moment, what would change?If you knew your dreams where a matter of WHEN not if, how would this moment be different?All the magic you ever needed is IN you already. All you need to do right now is TUNE into it!

Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because you ALWAYS manifest from your subconscious mind.Meaning you WILL play out old programs and ideas over and over again.Until YOU decide enough's enough! And do the work to REPROGRAM your mind to reflect what it you want and who you need to be.But sometimes, this work doesn't FEEL like it's doing anything.Those little tiny shifts on the inside are close to invisible--which might even make you doubt that it's happening at all.But trust me gorgeous, it IS.Keep taking tiny steps forward.Keep doubling down on who you WANT to be.TRUST the process and understandThat little by little, bit by bitIt all adds upUntil one day you look around and realize: I'm already there.
