How to Make a Gratitude Grid
Constructing A Crystal Gratitude Grid
Many energy workers add the subtle vibrations of stone energy as a complement to their healing sessions or daily lives.
Usually this includes the laying on of the appropriate colored stones to coordinate with the Chakra centers, Aura layers, meditating with a particular stone, or wearing the stones as jewelry when the inspiration hits.
There are, however, even more uses when stones are set up in a ‘Grid’ and are properly ‘activated’.
A ‘Grid’ is more simply put, a way to arrange the stones in a sacred geometric pattern. They are then consciously ‘activated’ by connecting a ‘line of Light’ between the stones so that they radiate an energy field in the immediate environment in which they are constructed or are essential for distant healing.
We have much to be grateful for. When using crystals for this type of gratitude grid, it is great to use crystals that help to stimulate or help you to attune to your intentions.
Crystals for Crystal Gratitude Grid
First of all, it is important to know that any crystal can be associated with gratitude. I have found that some are extremely specific for the task:
Gratitude Grid Crystal – Alexandrite enhances the rebirth of inner and outer self, promotes awareness.
Gratitude Grid Crystal – Amethyst: Provides common sense and flexibility in decisions. Strengthens and enhances psychic abilities, imagery and mind quieting.
This stone can show us how to let go and trust; surrender so that you may see beyond the cycle that consumes your attention; give it all up, so that you can receive more; and grow, that you may become a part of the greater whole.
Gratitude Grid Crystal – Aventurine: Aventurine protects the heart, enhances creativity and working with spirit guides. Green is the color of healing and Aventurine, as a member of the quartz family, has a concentrated ability to dissolve emotional blockage. It’s a particularly effective crystal for emotional healing and is especially helpful when worn for this purpose or placed on the heart center during Chakra balancing.
It helps to balance the emotions, and is one of the best stones to wear or carry during stressful periods. It helps us to find solutions to life’s problems.
Gratitude Grid Crystal – Carnelian represents confidence, boldness, initiative, dramatic abilities, assertiveness, outgoingness. This stone creates precision, analysis, appetite, and awareness of feelings.
Gratitude Grid Crystal – Iolite is considered a very strong “Shaman” stone, and helps us to live at higher awareness levels.
Gratitude Grid Crystal – Hematite: This crystal is the most recommended stone for grounding and is associated with the Root Chakra, by encourages ones survival instincts and is centering.
Hematite condenses scattered feelings, turns fuzziness into mental clarity, and enhances concentration, memory and practicality
Considered the symbol of life energy, hematite allows for more confidence, will power and boldness. Helps us adjust to being physical.
A protective stone and helps bolster low self-esteem. Hematite is known to deflect negativity. It restores equilibrium. It brings our awareness back to the body and helps one maintain their sense of self.
Gratitude Grid Crystal – Quartz: The natural tendency for quartz is for harmony. Quartz can both draw and send energy therefore it is effective for sending/receiving guidance.
Quartz is used for transformation in healing and in all levels of change (mentally/emotionally, physically and spiritually).
Quartz stimulates the natural crystal in body tissues and fluids to resonate at the highest healing frequency. Quartz works with All Chakra and master gland for balancing, cleansing and healing. It is the perfect stone for complete Aura balancing.
Gratitude Grid Crystal – Tiger’s Eye brings awareness to perception.
Constructing A Crystal Gratitude Grid
Consider doing a Crystal Gratitude Grid of two triangles for creating any kind of gratitude.
Use any of the above stones in combination, creating two triangles. If you are doing it around the body, have the two apex of the triangle facing each other by placing one stone at the heart and the other at the diaphram.
Place the remaining stones at the base of each triangle (for instance two stones at the collar bone or further out at either side of the ears or head.) The base of the second triangle would be out at either side of the hip bones or at either side of the ankles.
If you do this gratitude grid on a base (such as a copper plate or dish) make two triangles facing each other on the grid.
If you have a specific intention for someone, scroll their name on a piece of paper it in the center of the grid.
If you want, trace the gratitude grid with a master stone (this is a stone or wand used to connect the energy of the stones to seal your intention).
If you do the gratitude grid on a person, allow the stone to relax on your client for about 20 minutes, then remove them.
If you do the gratitude grid on a plate or copper plateform, construct the grid where it is needed most and will do the most benefits.
Create a Heart gem essence with clear quartz and aventrurine or rose quartz.
Mist over the two triangles of stones. Take 8-10 drops under the tongue every 4 hours.
Whatever your intention, use it to express your thanks and gratitude for each small and precious gift you wish to give honor to!
