A key principle of Visualization or Manifesting is using the power of the mind to attract to you what you desire.   Thoughts then can become tangible realities as you direct your mental energy into manifesting.

To amp up this energy, one method is to amplify your manifesting process by using crystals.   As I talked about in the last issue of Odyssey, Crystals contain piezoelectric energy.   This means they are an excellent tool to increase the energy around whatever you are trying to manifest.

Of course, you can always just hold a crystal in your hand and focus your energy, but if you want to really increase it, try using a crystal grid.  Using a crystal grid will greatly expand the power and energy of your crystals and gemstones in some amazing ways.   For example, think of a single light bulb and the light it gives off.  Then think of 30 more light bulbs turned on at the same time.  The light would be incredible.   It is the same principle.

A crystal grid is an arrangement of crystals on or in a geometric shape.   There are endless possibilities as to how you could lay out the gemstones.   The Grid I have created takes advantage of the Star of David, which unites the physical energies with the spiritual energies.    A crystal is placed in the center and then gemstones are added on the six points that correspond to the chakra’s.   However, you could put whatever gemstones you desired on the grid or only one or a few.   The more there are, the more energy is generated.   I have also created a Chakra Wand filled with gemstones.   It contains the seven gemstones that correspond to the chakra system.   (See page 17 for more information on Chakra’s)   The key is balance, activating all the systems in the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional sphere to work in harmony.

To begin he process, I hold the Chakra Wand in my hand, passing three times over each row of gemstones, while I am sending out energy for the thing I wish to  manifest.   I finish by going in a circle over the center crystal. You can actually feel the energy emanating from the grid.   It doesn’t matter how you use it, as long as you focus your energy on the outcome you desire.

My system is just one of the many that you can use for manifesting.    Many people use grids for healing purposes.   For those who practice Reiki, there are grids that help you to manifest healing for yourself or others.   Again, it is not so important that you follow any guidance but your own.   However, it you would like more structure, the website  of the International Center of Reiki training, www.reiki.org/reikigridinfosheet, has information on how to set up and use a Reiki grid.   In addition, another website, www.reikiclasses.com has a video showing how to use a grid which features Laurelle Gaia, a longtime instructor of the International Center for Reiki.   There is more information available by simply “googling” Reiki Grid.

Don’t worry if you haven’t studied Reiki, you can still create a Healing Grid.   In this case, you might want to use gemstones that are aligned with the ailment you wish to heal.  For instance, if you or someone you wish to heal is suffering from a broken heart, you might want to create a grid using Rose Quartz, a stone known for it’s ability to heal the heart.   You could also use this for attracting a loving relationship.   All green gemstones are excellent for any type of healing.  Clear Quartz is for general use and is good for everything.      There are many excellent books that can tell you about the healing properties of particular gemstones.   You could create a grid with the gemstones that would attract a particular energy that you are seeking.

There is no right or wrong way to set up a grid or how to use it.   Whenever you are using the grid, or for that matter any time you are manifesting, keep yourself in a positive space surrounding yourself with loving energy.

After you have set up your grid, you can direct the energy every day by setting aside a time to use it, or do it only once and then simply focus the energy whenever you pass by it.  It is the intention that is important and the ritual can only enhance the energy, thus leading to a good outcome.   You can put a word on the grid if you desire, such as  “wealth”, “job”, “love” etc.

By using a grid, with a combination of crystals and gemstones, you are setting your intention to create something that you truly desire.   Grids are a natural enhancement for those are familiar with the Law of Attraction.
