2. The following thing you want to do is to choose and a place for your Crystal grid. I recommend that you use a space that you will have easy access to but a space where the crystal grid will not be moved or disturbed. You could use an altar or a sacred place in your home, on a desk top or shelf. Cleanse this space. Some cleansing methods include burning sage, placing a crystal cluster in the room, or bowls of sea salt. Flowers, incense, music, candles can be used to add ambience to your sacred space.
3. You will now select your master charging crystal for your crystal grid. If you have chosen Clear Quartz points, select the Clear Quartz point that feel to have the strongest energy on the other hand if you have chosen different crystals, the Clear Quartz point will be your master charging crystal.
4. Your next step is to cleanse and program the crystals. Your clear intention is what you will use to “program” and charge the crystals. Crystals can receive and hold thought forms and projecting these thought forms into the crystal consciously, is called programming. The term "programming" is used since this process is similar to computer programming because the information or commands are stored in the molecular structure of the quartz crystal as magnetic charged data. Thought forms are pictures and/or other sensory data that is powered or intensified by emotion.
5. Place your crystal layout in a geometric pattern see Page 18, below for more examples.6. Relax and center yourself. Visualize your goal having already been achieved with a calm mind and positive intention.
7. Charge the Master Crystal and place your it in your right hand, with the crystal point facing down, above the grid, imagine energy pouring from the master crystal and charging your Crystal grid, connect each crystal to the other in a clockwise direction following the numbers.
8. As you do this, repeat an affirmation/mantra of power, such as: "I empower this grid with light, with light, with light, to heal, to heal, to heal. I empower this grid with love, with love, with love and wisdom, wisdom, wisdom, to heal, to heal, to heal. I call on my highest spiritual guides now to attune this grid of light, light, light, to heal, to heal, to heal, with love, with love, with love." Again feel free to use your creative intuition to create empowering affirmations or mantras that feel right for you.
9. Say a prayer of gratitude.An important aspect of your grid is to have fun with it and be creative, feel free to create your own grids with stones and crystals and patterns of your own choosing. You can't really make a mistake, if your heart and goals are kind, caring, gentle and compassionate.
