Step 1—Activate the Grid
Activating a grid is the most rewarding part of building and using it. The effect can be quite stunning and rewarding. To activate a grid, you will need a wand. The wand will transmit the activating energy of your mind into the grid to power it with the universal life force.
At a time without distractions of any kind, take your wand in hand, stand or sit near your grid, and close your eyes. In your mind, travel to the center of the galaxy. Feel the waves of energy washing over you as you get closer to the center. See stars and planets whiz by as you fly at an incredible speed. When you get there, look around. Everything in the universe is spinning around you. Pulses of pure love and life energy are streaming out to the entire rotating galaxy. Hold up your wand and see the energy flowing out from it. Now in your mind’s eye look through all of space and find the Focus Stone of your grid. You will see it far out on the fringes of the galaxy, but it is shining brighter than all the suns and stars. Use your wand to direct a flow of pulsing, life-giving energy out to your Focus Stone. Now open your eyes to be instantly transported back to your grid. Wow, what a trip!
Next, touch your energized wand to the center of your forehead and then move it to touch the Focus Stone to seal the connection between your visions and the Focus Stone of your grid. With the grid now activated, the universal life force will begin to flow into the Focus Stone and down the pathways of the grid. Look at your grid and in your mind’s eye see the glowing life force energy pulsing outward from the Focus Stone. Watch it flow down the paths to the Way Stones, seemingly lighting each of them from within. See each of the Way Stones become energized with the universal life force as it flows to them from the now energized Focus Stone. Then follow the energy down the paths to the Desire Stones. See each of them start to have an inner fire. See the grid absorb the energy of the cosmos through the Focus Stone, travel the paths into the Way Stones, and then light up the Desire Stones. See your grid light up in your mind’s eye. Focus your being on your desire. Make it real.
When this ritual has been completed, your grid is activated—focusing and amplifying the universal life force. Be aware that only one person can activate a grid. Your activated grid will not help or affect others who come near it. If a grid is designed to help more than one person, all must participate in the activation by being in spiritual or physical contact with the individual person activating the grid.
Step 2—Daily Use of the Grid
All of the grids in the last chapter of this book have instructions on their daily use. While the specifics of each grid differ, the concept is the same. Grids bring energy into a space and focus and align it to specific purposes. The energy from a grid has to go somewhere. Most grids are built to bring that energy into your life. For this to happen, you need to be in a receptive role.
When you pass by your grid during the day, stop and spend a few seconds absorbing the energy flow from your Desire Stones. The best way to do this is first to look at your Focus Stone. See a flow of energy descending into it like a pillar of light with the Focus Stone at the bottom. Then watch the energy flow down the paths to the Way Stones. Look briefly at each Way Stone in turn and focus on it for a few seconds. Focus on the energies that your Way Stones are bringing. Then watch as the energy flows out to the Desire Stones. Let the energy from each Desire Stone travel like a laser beam into your third eye chakra. Absorb that energy and let it guide you closer to your desires.
This visualization process will allow the universal life force from your crystal grid to flow into your spirit and consciousness. It will empower you and show you the way to your desire. By itself, a crystal grid is a powerful tool, but it’s a tool of self-empowerment. You are the final element of the grid.
Step 3—Disassembly and Storage
Grids can be set up and taken down without any undue harm. The best way to disassemble a grid is to do it in the same order as it was assembled.
First remove the Focus Stone and place it in a suitable container. A cloth bag, a wooden box, or some natural and soft yet secure container is best. Small drawstring bags work well to protect stones from both physical damage and stray negative energy.
Next remove the Way Stones. These can usually be kept all together, perhaps in a small cloth bag or wooden box.
Then remove the Desire Stones. These too can usually be kept together in a small bag or box.
Finally, remove the perimeter stones. Then place the grid and the stones in a container. Keeping all the elements together ensures that your grid will be ready for reuse and makes it easy to move and to store.
