How to Create a Crystal Grid

Before creating each crystal grid, prepare yourself and your space to allow energy to flow smoothly within and around you. Take a few deep breaths, holding a grounding or cleansing crystal (onyx, obsidian, agate, smoky quartz, clear quartz, blue kyanite, etc.), and close your eyes. Imagine a cord or roots connecting your root chakra and feet to the center of the Earth. Use this pause to feel gratitude for the present moment. Sense your breath, heartbeat, and energy flowing through your body.

How to use your Crystal Pendulum

Pendulums are used for dowsing + divination – mystical practices in which one asks the universe for divine guidance through the movement of the pendulum. Pendulums tap into the energetic connection between you, the Earth, and the Cosmos.
