Honoring Spring: Crystal Reiki Grids

Many Healers are called to facilitate 'distance' energy sessions for

people that do not have access to in-person care. Often, this

includes seriously ill clients/friends/family that could use Reiki or

healing energy each and every day. Distance energy work in the

same way as sending a 'prayer'. A prayer is energy that transcends

time/space to interact with a situation/person/event. The

requirement for any distance energy to be effective is a strong,

concentrated intent from the person sending the energy/prayer.

This includes Reiki work and all other forms of 'sending energy'

across a distance.

There are many props that can be used to assist us in 'sending' our

healing energy in a coherent and concentrated manner. First, we

must adequately establish a connection with the receiving person.

Photo's, personal items, or a previous meeting with the receiving

person (ie, someone we already know) are usually the best ways

to connect. Second, many Healers find it very useful to facilitate a

full session on a proxy... like a stuffed animal, with the other items

(if they are available) close by.

You may also want to create a grid for the season's solstice. This

grid allows for the purification of the energy around you in your

home, office, meditation space or garden! Creating your own grid

with your crystals is a personal and balancing way of manifesting

good energy for a good season! There are many combinations you can

create! Here are a few suggestion:

Spring is the time of " refresh and renewal " . Cleansing and clearing

are a big part of this ritual. Whether it be done by decluttering

your home, apartment or just a closet, a change will occur.

Decluttering your life, personality or belief system will also create

even greater change!

Evoking the element of Spring, which is wood, can enhance your reiki

grid. The element is associated with the liver and the gallbladder,

which regulates the smooth flow of Qi energy throughout the body and

has a strong relationship with the reproductive organ system and the

ability to nourish the body with blood.

Emotionally, wood allows you to be adaptable to life. It is the

creativeness of the wood element that gets expressed when we are at

our most artistic. Spring is the new life energy of growth, renewal

and the life force sprouting upward and outward. Wood allows you to

make a plan and stay true to that plan. It also allows you to be

flexible, like a willow and adapt to the circumstances that intercept

your plans and expectations.

Create a space that is for your crystal grid. This should be in the

east or southeast direction of your home, garden, meditation space or

office.

Use a wood stone in the center of your grid such as petrified wood or

stone fossils. Evoke the other seasons and directions by placing 4

crystal quartz points around the center " wood " stone with the points

facing away from the center. In between the 4 quartz points you may

put 4 associated stones (relating to Spring). The associated colors

for Spring are green (such as jade, aventurine or peridot) and purple

(such as amethyst, iolite, purple fluorite pr charoite). Bless the

grid with incenses, herbal sage or sweet grass or simply a prayer for

a prosperous renewal (which is surely a metaphysical metaphor for our

lives) and then allow the grid to do its work.

Another grid for Spring can be set up with Aventurine as the center

stone. Evoke and honor the other elements by placing a stone with

their associated colors around th center stone. 4 stones if you use

the Celtic version (air, fire, water, earth) or 5 stones if you use

the Asian version (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) or Ayurvedic

version (fire, water, wood, ether, metal).

Consider stones such as:

fire: ruby, garnet, spinel, obsidian

air: celestite, angelite, sodalite

water: aquamarine, aqua aura, quartz

wood: petrified wood, fossils, ammonite

ether: tektite, meteorite, moldavite

metal: hematite, silver, gold, pyrite

earth: obsidian, quartz, onyx

Whatever grid combination you tend to use, is probably not as

important as the intention you put behind it! Intention is

everything. Therefore, which ever grid you do, do it with great

intention (and gusto)!
