Crystal Grid Recipe for Your Sacred Space Crystals for Your Grid First, grab these crystals for your grid. Feel free to use rough or tumbled stones: 1 piece of labradorite 4 pieces of smoky quartz 4 pieces of black tourmaline 8 pieces of selenite If you don’t have these exact crystals, or if you don’t have them in these quantities, use your intuition to help you find suitable substitutes or to make changes to the grid. Don’t have 8 pieces of Selenite? Try a mixture of Selenite, Clear Quartz, & Scolecite instead - or reduce the number to 4 pieces. Don’t have any Smoky Quartz? Try substituting Petrified Wood. The key here is to use what you have on hand and trust your intuition. You can use all one shape (like all tumbled stones), or you can feel free to mix and match shapes and sizes as you see fit. Adding Crystals to your Grid Before placing the stones, they should be cleansed thoroughly with your preferred cleansing method - such as sound, moonlight, or water. As you place each crystal in the grid, hold an intention of your choosing clearly in your mind. For example, “This crystal creates a protective energetic boundary.” OR “This crystal helps me feel calm and relaxed.” Labradorite is used at the center of the grid to help connect you to your own spiritual energy. Place your crystal in a central location in your space -- such as atop your altar. Visualize the energy of the Labradorite crystal in the center of your space as a shimmering rainbow pool of energy. Take a deep breath in and feel yourself begin to absorb this shimmering, rainbow energy into your energy body. Smoky Quartz helps you stay grounded while meditating & promotes intuitive insight. Place one in the center of each wall in your sacred space if gridding the entire room, or near the central Labradorite stone if creating a tabletop grid. Visualize the Smoky Quartz transmuting any unwanted energy and radiating supportive energy toward yourself and your space. Black Tourmaline repels unwanted energy and enhances feelings of grounding and security. Place one in each corner of your space if gridding the entire room, or in the corners of the small grid if creating it on a tabletop. See the energy of the Black Tourmaline crystals begin to expand and push positive energy further and further out into your sacred space until it fills the whole room. Selenite cleanses the energy of the space and surrounds you with healing energy. Place two along each wall (one on each side of your pieces of smoky quartz). Visualize the Selenite linking together the stones in the perimeter of the grid and sending the energy of your grid into your sacred space. But what if I don't have the right stone? Watch my video to learn how to troubleshoot this common crystal problem: Now let's Activate your Crystal Grid! After placing the stones, you’re ready to activate the grid! Do this by intentionally linking the crystals’ energy together. This can be done with a Clear Quartz point, a separate Selenite wand, or even with your finger. Point the crystal or your finger toward the central crystal in the grid, then move around the room “drawing” energetic connections between each stone (or just drawing energetic lines between the stones on your tabletop if creating a smaller grid). In this way, you connect the crystals energetically so that they are better able to act as one harmonious grid, rather than many individual stones. Want more crystal grid inspo for your home? Try this full space grid for home protection: When you combine crystals with sacred geometry, you create a powerful vortex of energy that can be used to call in any of your intentions. So whether you’re looking to enhance your healing, manifestation, protection or meditation practices, crystal grids are your ultimate companion for unlocking the extraordinary potential of your crystals.

Also known as Black Chalcedony. Wanna’ Get Science-y? Click Here to get more information about this crystal! Join Adam Barralet, Ashley Leavy, Kyle Perez, and Nicholas Pearson in the very first episode of the Crystal Confab Podcast as they discuss all-things Black Onyx, including: Black Onyx & the New Moon in Libra Black Onyx for Shadow Work The science behind the energy of Black Onyx The origins and etymology of 'Onyx' and how the meaning has shifted over time Tune in now and dive into the magical world of Black Onyx! More About the healing properties of Black Onyx: Onyx is a form of chalcedony, which is often, but not always, a banded agate. This stone has a long and interesting history that is worth learning about. Black onyx's excellent, smooth texture and interesting patterns make it perfect for carving both jewelry and everyday objects, including cameos. The ancients sought it out for this reason, and used it to fashion tough and handsome pottery and bowls. Not to mention, the Bible even gives onyx the honor of forming the foundation of the City of Heaven. For some reason, medieval authorities took an intense dislike to this stone; they claimed it made love chill, brought on attacks of “frivolities,” and they thought it even caused babies to drool. However, they admitted a big plus side as well: it has a strong virtue as a protective and healing stone. Nowadays we’ve come to value the protective and grounding energy of this beautiful semi-precious gem. As an astrological stone for Scorpio: Black Onyx is a stone for strength, hardiness, constancy, grounding, stamina, and self-control. All of these qualities come together in the layered beauty of onyx, which plays to the strengths of vigorous Scorpio. However, this intense sign, often self-repressive, has also been described as having an icy exterior and a fiery inner core. The layers of onyx remind us to take each thing in turn, rather than obsessing about what should be or might have been. Grounding is important, especially when faced with Scorpion passions. This stone tells us that the time has come to focus on putting together the pieces of things we haven't yet been able to figure out. Pin It!

Healing Properties of Rainbow Fluorite: A Crystal for Clarity & Intuition Sep 13, 2021

Show notes

Rainbow Fluorite, also known as Fluor Spar, is a stunning stone that displays an amazing range of colors. Some of the most beautiful pieces are found in Mexico, England, and China. However, Fluorite used to be mined in Southern Illinois in the United States. In fact, this was where my very first crystal digging experience took place. When I was about 8 years old, I was visiting my grandparents over Spring break from school. Their home wasn't far from a former Fluorite mining site at Cave in Rock, Illinois. My grandpa took me to search the mining "dump pile" for rocks with little bits of Fluorite on them. I was astonished to find gorgeous Fluorite crusts on some of the stones, ranging from purple to yellow. In fact, I still have one of the stones I found on that trip - and it's one of my most treasured crystals (though it may not be considered conventionally beautiful). A Crystal Message about the Healing Properties of Rainbow Fluorite: "Feel clarity wash over you as you consciously co-create with the universe." Common Healing Properties of Rainbow Fluorite: Enhances energetic protection Supports you while you work to reduce your stress Transforms energy Helps you to maintain balance in your energy body Strengthens your intuition Encourages accurate psychic readings Improves mental clarity and concentration Promotes self-confidence Shows the truth in any situation Aids in promoting objectivity and fair judgment Stimulates the intellect Colors: Bands of Clear, Violet, Purple, Lavender, Blue, Green, and Yellow Zodiac Signs: Gemini, Libra, & Aquarius Elements: Air Companion Flowers: Cherry Blossom Companion Essential Oil: Lemon Verbena Companion Stone: Black Onyx Common Origins: Illinois (USA), China, United Kingdom, Mexico Notes: Also known as Fluor Spar. Wanna’ Get Science-y? Click Here to get information about the chemical composition, hardness, streak, etc. of this crystal from one of my favorite sites! More About Rainbow Fluorite: Fluorite, once called the “home of the rainbow,” is a stone of amazing variety. First, there are the colors: green, purple, blue, yellow, which are often found in beautiful banded formations. Only tourmaline shows more color variation. Fluorite also shows fluorescence (and yes, it is the source of that word) under ultraviolet light, and, in some forms, with heating. One form called chlorophane will even glow if you simply hold it in your hand! The name “fluorite” comes from the Latin word for “flow,” because fluorite melts at fairly low temperatures. And because it’s so easy to melt, it has long been shaped into figurines, drinking vessels, and other useful items. The Romans thought fluorite cups made their wine taste better — probably because of the resin melted in to make the cup hold its form. The chemical composition of Fluorite is CaF2. Rainbow Fluorite promotes clear thinking and allows you to see what’s most important in a given situation. If you’ve been feeling scattered or pulled in lots of different directions, work with this crystal to get you back on track. It can also bring clarity to your role in projects, relationships, or social groups and help you better understand what people expect from you. However, this doesn’t mean you need to agree with these roles. Whether you choose to conform or rebel against these societal expectations, Rainbow Fluorite will guide you on your path. This crystal is known for providing mental clarity and for this reason, it's deeply connected with the time of the Crow Moon (the Full Moon in March). It pairs well with Black Tourmaline and Blue Apatite to shed some light on your current situation. Rainbow Fluorite can help give you the mental clarity to hone your skills and tackle your most pressing planning tasks. When your mind is clear, fresh ideas come with ease instead of with a struggle, and you're better able to visualize the bigger picture of your life path. This clarity allows you to see how all of the pieces fit together so that you can organize and prioritize your plans for efficiency and flow. Pin it! If you're looking for more ways to use crystals to deepen your intuition, try calling upon powerful lunar energies through meditation! Getting tuned into the power of the Moon, with her historical connection to guidance and illumination, can have a profound effect on enhancing your intuition. Meditating at the time of the Full Moon is the perfect way to tap into these powerful lunar energies, which is why I've created this Full Moon Guided Meditation for Intuition. The moon, being our nearest celestial body, has such a deep impact on us. So as crystal healers, it’s important for us to be in flow with the natural rhythms of the universe. You’ll learn more all about this with my Full Moon Guided Meditation for Intuition! Are you interested in becoming a Certified Crystal Healer?

Protecting Your Home with Crystal Grid Energy Sep 07, 2021

Show notes

Many crystals are naturally protective, and some well-placed ones can really come together to create Mother Nature’s ultimate home-security grid! Follow these simple steps to create your own special protection grid for security, comfort, and peace of mind. I am often asked about using crystals for energetic protection. Creating a crystal grid is a simple way to work with crystal energy for protection. In this post, I'm sharing a simple method for energetically protecting your home with crystal grid energy. This crystal grid recipe uses only 2 types of stones. Even better, they can be used effectively in any dwelling. But first: What is Sacred Geometry? Sacred geometry is the language of energy, form, and consciousness—shapes that mirror the architecture of the universe. If you want to take your crystal grid practice to the next level and truly harness the power of sacred geometry, understanding these cosmic patterns is essential. That’s why I’ve created my Sacred Geometry Affirmations Oracle Cards, so you can easily learn the language of sacred shapes and open yourself to receiving powerful spiritual guidance from the timeless patterns woven into the fabric of the cosmos. Your Printable Sacred Geometry Affirmations Oracle Deck includes: 20 printable oracle cards, each featuring a sacred geometry shape paired with a powerful affirmation.A matching card back design to complete your custom deck. A matching card back design to complete your custom deck. An introductory guidebook that walks you through the basics of sacred geometry and offers insight into each shape. Suggestions for using the shapes for manifestation, along with crystal pairings to amplify their energy. A simple, intuitive method for working with the cards and receiving guidance. Whether you’re new to sacred geometry or a seasoned spiritual seeker, this deck will inspire your daily practice and support your crystal healing journey. With every card you draw, you’ll gain meaningful insight, receive intuitive messages, and deepen your understanding of the patterns that exist all around and within you. Let the language of sacred geometry guide your soul’s journey – Get your own Sacred Geometry Affirmations Oracle Deck today! To create an initial energetic shield to protect your home, place Black Tourmaline in each exterior corner. You can then place Selenite along each of the walls and any exterior doorways or windows. This will energetically connect the Tourmaline stones. The Tourmaline acts to set an energetic protective boundary while the Selenite aids in cleansing and purification. Watch Now: How to Protect Your Home with Crystal Energy My ideal grid for protecting your home with crystal grid energy: The diagram of the home below shows my ideal set up. This setup uses 12 pieces of Black Tourmaline, one in each exterior corner of the home. It also uses 14 pieces of Selenite (at least one on each exterior wall where there is no window PLUS one over each exterior door and each window). However, if this many stones is not within your budget, or if there would be safety concerns over placing the stones in children's rooms, etc. you can absolutely reduce the total number of stones. Do this by placing the Tourmalines in just the outermost corners of the home. This can be reduced to only 6 pieces. Additionally, by placing just one piece of Selenite per exterior wall (but still making sure to place one above each exterior window or door), the number of pieces of Selenite used is reduced to only 7 pieces. The resulting grid would still be very effective for most situations. Also, it would only be a fraction of the cost. This makes energetic home protection a bit easier on your pocketbook, which is always a bonus! Setting Up Your Grid for Energetic Protection: Before placing the stones, they should be cleansed. As you place each crystal in the grid, hold your intention clearly in your mind. This may be something like, “This crystal adds to the energy of my grid and helps to creates a protective energetic boundary around my home.” OR “This crystal energetically protects me and my family in our home.” After placing the stones, it is recommended that you “activate” the grid. Activating your grid means to energetically link the crystals together. Since this is a large scale grid, the activation process is a bit different than it would be for a small, tabletop crystal grid. To activate your grid, you'll need a Crystal Laser Wand (a single-terminated clear Quartz point) or an additional piece of Selenite. Alternatively, you can even just activate your grid with your finger. Point the crystal or your finger toward the first crystal in the grid. Some people like to begin with the crystal in the northernmost position, but just do what feels most natural. Move around your home from one stone to the next in a clockwise direction while “drawing” energetic connections between each stone. In this way, you connect the crystals energetically. This means that they are better able to act as one harmonious grid, rather than many individual stones. After the grid has been activated by completing the energetic circuit between the crystals, remember to cleanse the stones fairly often and revisit the intention you've set for the grid to be sure it's still relevant. Additional crystal properties you may wish to add to the energy of your grid: SELENITE: (Also known as Gypsum or as Satin Spar). Use for purification, to cleanse the energy of a space, to promote a connection with your spirituality, to aid in personal growth, to clear the mind, and to promote peace and harmony. TOURMALINE, BLACK: (Also known as Schorl or as Aphrizite). Use for protection against negative energy, for grounding, to banish unwanted energy, to enhance positive thinking and creativity, and for cleansing the energy body. In addition to protection, when you combine crystals with sacred geometry, you create a powerful vortex of energy that can be used to call in any of your intentions. So whether you’re looking to enhance your healing, manifestation, protection or meditation practices, crystal grids are your ultimate companion for unlocking the extraordinary potential of your crystals. With my Crystal Grids Template Pack, you will receive 75 Printable Grid Bases, plus a Step-by-step Guide to grid creation, so that you can confidently craft your own powerful crystal grids from the comfort of your home!

Healing Properties of Turritella Agate: A Crystal for Inner Guidance Aug 25, 2021

Show notes

Turritella Agate is one of the most strangely named stones I know of. Most Agates are made of flowing bands of translucent or transparent, cryptocrystalline Quartz. We can see this clearly in stones like Blue Lace Agate or Lace Agate, however, Turritella Agate doesn't show any of the banding patterns of other, more traditional, Agates. Because it lacks these distinctive bands, it might be better classified as a Chalcedony, but the name Turritella Agate has really stuck. Even more interesting (and MUCH more incorrect), is the fact that these stones don't contain Turritella fossils at all! The name "Turritella" Agate is actually an incorrect name that was given to this material decades ago. In fact, the species studded inside most of this material is actually Elimia tenera, not a Turritella species. A Crystal Message about the Healing Properties of Turritella Agate: "I spiral into the center of myself and listen to my inner guidance." Common Healing Properties of Turritella Agate: Boosts your creativity Supports you as you heal past emotional pain Promotes a sense of oneness and connection with others Assists you as you discover new ways to find balance and harmony in your life Helps you release unwanted energy connected with things that aren't serving you Keeps you grounded during times of great life shifts Assists in healing Mother Earth Promotes maturity Enhances emotional stability Encourages flexibility and new ways of thinking Helps you release attachment to outcomes and just go with the flow when you're wearing yourself out by fighting against the current Increases your wisdom based on what you've learned from your past experiences Colors: Dark brown or black with white or tan swirling fossil shells (Gastropod Shells) Zodiac Signs: Taurus, Capricorn Elements: Earth Companion Flowers: Bloodroot Companion Essential Oil: Ginger Companion Stone: Brown Banded Aragonite Common Origins: South of Wamsutter, Wyoming, USA near the Delany Rim (Green River Formation) - May also be found in Colorado and Utah Notes: The name "Turritella" Agate is actually an incorrect name that was given to this material decades ago. In fact, the species studded inside most of this material is actually Elimia tenera, not a Turritella species. /* More Information About Agate: Agate comes in a huge variety of colors and patterns, many named after plants and animals. These names not only describe the stone's appearance, but they also add meaning to the stone's uses as well. The Ancient Greeks called tawny-colored Agates "lion skin agates". These stones were thought to have great strength, and were also thought to counteract a wide range of poisons, especially scorpion stings. On the other hand, some ancient writers cautioned against keeping Agates with the spotty pattern (appearing like hyena fur), claiming those would cause domestic troubles. The green of a tree agate was said to attract positive attention from the agricultural goddess Ceres. Farmers not only wore this stone as an amulet, but they would also tie a piece to the horn of their oxen while plowing. Pin it! Are you captivated by the ancient wisdom of fossils? Elemental energies shape the world and guide our spiritual practice. By working with fossils, you can access these ancient forces and bring balance, empowerment, and connection into your life. That’s why I created the Fossils for Elemental Magic Course—a beginner-friendly journey into the magic of Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit.

How to Create a Crystal Grid | Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners! Jul 19, 2021

Show notes

Crystal Grids consist of crystals placed in concise, geometric shapes in order to affect the flow of energy for a specific purpose - and they're amazing! Knowing how to create a crystal grid so that it works for you is key to harnessing its healing power. Are you familiar with how to create a crystal grid? So what is a crystal grid? Basically, a crystal grid is a special arrangement of healing stones. It is used with intention to manifest a desired result. The properties of the stones used, combined with their arrangement in a sacred geometric configuration, creates a unique energy combination. This energy can be used to enhance your intention. Using crystal grids is very powerful. It combines the energy of the stone with Sacred Geometry. By placing your stones in a geometric arrangement, the crystal energy is enhanced exponentially. Your intention is being amplified through the stones and then sent out to the Universe in a clear and direct way. What is Sacred Geometry? Sacred geometry is the language of energy, form, and consciousness—shapes that mirror the architecture of the universe.

But how can you make your own powerful crystal grid to create change in your life? Here are my easy, step-by-step instructions for how to create a crystal grid: Step 1: Selecting Stones and a Base Shape for Your Grid Create an affirmation or intention statement as the focus of your grid. Choose the stones needed for the grid and be sure they are cleansed. You may select them according to listed properties in books or articles online, or you can choose the crystals intuitively. The most common way to select your crystals is to firstly choose 1 stone for the overall theme or intention of your grid. This is the central stone - also called the anchor stone. Next, choose several supporting stones that further define your main purpose. Choose a sacred geometry shape that aligns with your purpose. This is to be used as a template or base for your grid (click here to download a free, printable crystal grid template pack). You can read a quick introduction to sacred geometry here if you need more information on the meanings of each shape. Also consider the material of your crystal grid base (wood, glass, fabric etc.) and how this might complement or amplify your intention: Step 2: Setting up Your Crystal Grid: Place the anchor stone into the center of your chosen sacred geometry shape. Be sure to place this stone with intention. As you’re placing the crystal onto the grid template, say your affirmation either out loud or silently to yourself. Optionally, you may place a written intention beneath this stone at the very center of your crystal grid. Place the remaining stones around the central anchor stone in a clockwise direction. Make sure to follow the shape of your chosen crystal grid template. Place them exactly along the lines of the shape you've selected. Proper alignment of the sacred geometry shape is necessary for proper energy flow. As you are placing each of the remaining stones, state your intention for them. What energy do they bring to the grid? Do this either aloud or to yourself. These stones should support the main focus or intention for your grid, but should also work to further define your specific situation. Your grid might now look something like this: (OPTIONAL STEP) You may choose to further define your intention or purpose with crystal energy by adding additional supporting stones to your grid. These can be in another ring or layer around your central stone. You may add and additional set of stones around your anchor stone to add additional qualities. Follow the instructions outlined in step #5 above as you place these additional crystals. If adding the additional stones, your grid may look something like the photo below.

Step 3: Activating Your Crystal Grid: To activate and enhance the energy of the grid, you may use a clear quartz crystal point or a Selenite blade to link the energy of all the crystals within the grid. Activation is most effective if you visualize each of these connections as lines of white light, linking the energy of each individual stone into one cohesive unit. (Note: If your grid is disturbed or if the crystals are moved out of alignment, the grid will need to be re-activated.) Point your wand over the center stone. Set your intention to link the energy of all seven stones within the grid so that they work cohesively toward your intention. Moving from the center, “draw” a line to a stone on the outside edge of the grid. Moving clockwise, “draw” a line to the next stone on the outside edge of the grid. Then draw it back to the central stone (creating a triangle between the three). Move back up this same line to the stone you just came from, then clockwise to the next outside stone, and then back again to the center. This should create a second triangle that shares one side with the first. Continue in this fashion until you have connected all stones and arrive back in the center of the grid. Finally, point the point of your Quartz crystal toward the center of the grid. This will infuse it with universal energy so that it may carry out its purpose. It’s important to hold your intention in mind while performing the activation. Step 4: Working with the Energy of your Completed Crystal Grid Make time to connect with the energy of your crystal grid daily. You may want to meditate in front of your grid each day for a few minutes, or just sit in the presence of your grid to fill you up with the energy you’re trying to create in your life. Just be sure to hold space in your life for transformation in whatever form is for your highest good. After you’ve created your grid, it’s important to make note of the changes you see in your life. This will help you to track your progress and growth. You now know how to create and use a crystal grid! Looking for more inspiration for your Crystal Gridding Practice?

Crystal Controversy: Rough vs Tumbled Stones Jul 13, 2021

Show notes

When it comes to choosing stones, do you find yourself gravitating more towards rough ones or the tumbled sort? Do you think that one works better than the other or perhaps one has a stronger energy over the other? While you are the only one that knows which one works best for you, it’s interesting to hear what different experts have to say on the subject of rough vs. tumbled stones. My own feeling in the rough vs tumbled stones debate has always been that rough stones have a more forceful presence than stones that have been tumbled or polished. I usually work with rough stones when an energetic breakthrough is needed. People often ask me whether rough stones or tumbled stones are "better" or "most powerful". However, "more powerful" or "stronger" doesn't always equate to BETTER. Like anything else, it depends upon the person working with the crystals and the specific situation or scenario. Tumbled stones or polished stones have a really subtle, gentle energy that radiates outward in all directions. In general, they feel a bit gentler to me. Sometimes this is just what's needed. Tumbled stones are great to work with for those who are sensitive to energy. They are also good for those who are working through intense emotions. Some healers say that the more natural or unworked a stone is, the more energy it contains. However this hasn't been my experience at all. It's also really hard to quantify what's meant by "more energy". The conclusion we can draw here is that some of these healers may think that the process of shaping or polishing a stone may damage the stone in some way, on an energetic level. While I do think that shaping a stone changes the way in which we EXPERIENCE the energy of that stone, it doesn't change or affect the inherent qualities or energy of the crystal. When working with a shaped stone, our experience of that stone may change. For example, a rough Amethyst and a tumbled Amethyst still share the same qualities. However, the way the energy is emitted, received, and PERCEIVED by us can shift a bit with each different stone shape. Just like it changes when working with different natural crystal formations - like points, clusters, scepters, geodes, etc. When choosing a crystal to work with, you may want to consider not only the type of stone and its qualities, but its shape as well. Using the example above, if you've chosen to work with Amethyst for boosting your intuition, then you may want to also choose a compatible shape. If you felt you had a block around receiving messages from your intuition, then maybe you would want to work with a rough Amethyst crystal for a big energetic push. Whereas if you were feeling apprehensive or nervous about what your intuition might tell you, then a tumbled Amethyst may be a better fit. It would be a bit slower build and the process would be more gradual and gentle. Not to mention, there are LOADS of other crystal shapes you could use. You could use a carved pyramid for amplification or even a sphere for scrying divination. Another thing to consider when choosing between rough vs tumbled stones is protection. Polishing can put in an extra layer of security, in the form of the polished surface, between users and toxic minerals. For example, Malachite contains copper and should be handled with caution when in its rough form, but polished stones don't pose the same issue when it comes to malachite. However, this isn't true of all stones. Obviously, there’s not total agreement about this amongst all crystal workers, and there likely never will be. It’s natural that sifting through the opinions of many people brings a variety of experiences. Still, it's important to remember that crystal energy exists in rough, polished, and tumbled stones. The more natural the form, the more direct the transmission of that energy. Unsurprisingly, people tend to feel more raw power coming from rough stones. But in some circumstances, softer energy is more appropriate. And sometimes other considerations, such as toxicity, make tumbled stones the better choice. They contain a buffer between the raw nature of the stone and the practical realities of human needs. So what might this mean for professional crystal healers? Ultimately, there is no clear winner. If you're a practicing crystal healer, you may want to consider having some rough stones and some tumbled stones available in your crystal toolkit. And when in doubt, just trust your intuition. If, like many people, you feel stronger energy coming from rough stones, you’ll want to take that into consideration when choosing your crystals. But that doesn’t mean rough is always better. Other times, safety, aesthetics, or a desire for softer energy may lead you to tumbled stones. In those cases, that’s the right choice for your circumstances.
