How to Re-create this Crystal Body Grid:
- Find a quiet, comfortable area to lay flat on the ground.
- Place a selenite crystal at the top of your head (and around if wanted). It doesn’t need to actually touch you. The selenite will raise your mood as it works to purify the negativity in your space and in your mind.
- If you have a large, rose quartz heart, the time to use it is now. Set it on your chest and allow its loving energy to sink down into your heart. This is creates a breastplate of loving protection. Let the rose quartz center you with its patience and compassion.
- Use blue gemstones for the throat. Stones like lapis lazuli and blue apatite are known for connecting with the throat chakra. These crystals for communication will relieve the tensions that are causing blocks in your throat chakra, and make it easier to express yourself in a calm, measured manner. As crystals for stress relief and clarity, they’re great to have in moments when your temper is short.
- Set a piece of black tourmaline on the pelvis. Black tourmaline will ground you and help you to connect to the wisdom of the earth. This protective stone sucks up all of the darkness that has been discoloring your mood, and leaves you feeling cleansed.
- On the face, use blue lace agate on either side of the nose for a nurturing, calm sensation that’s like pressing the reset button on your bad vibes. Amethyst the perfect stone for your third eye when you need a shift in perspective. It’s healing protection is like the three wise monkeys who embody the proverb: see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Amethyst clears the mind so that you can see the beautiful moments and gestures that your negativity was blinding you to.
- Once you are done placing the crystals around your face and body, the last crystals to grab are a couple of hematite stones to hold in each hand. Hematite will tether you to the ground with its spiritually stabilizing energy.
- Lay with your crystal body grid for at least 11 minutes. Visualize yourself sinking into the Earth. With as much movement as we put our bodies through everyday, this stillness is a great reminder of our natural state. Take long, deep breathes in and out. Try to get your mind and still as your body. When you’re ready to come out of this crystallized treatment, state your intention out loud: I am refreshed, calm and ready approach the world with love.
