With mindfulness, work your way outwards placing your crystals at the intersections of where the lines meet. Next, start with a centre crystal based on your intention (check out our post on the best beginners’ crystals for ideas), and place it in the middle of the pattern, focussing on your intention. You can either draw it out yourself on paper, which will double up as a meditative practice in and of itself simply visualise it and where you will place the crystals or buy a pre-made base such as this one. For example, for growth and spirituality you might choose the Flower of Life. Pick your sacred geometrical shape based on your intention. Here I will discuss a few options in each: Like with any spiritual practice, you can interact with it in any way that calls to you, but the most popular uses are in crystal grids, meditation, and adornments. In physical 3D form, it can be seen in the cube (or hexahedron, discussed below). Symbolically a square indicates structure and stability (like the 4s in Tarot), and is representative of the four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) and the cardinal directions (North, East, South, West), it grounding and rooting and would be associated with the Root and Solar Plexus Chakra. The pyramids are famous physical 3D examples of this structure, composed of four triangles and a square base (technically called a tetrahedron, discussed below). They can represent the mother, father, and child mind, body, and spirit and pointing upwards is indicative of rising consciousness (a downward pointing triangle relates to the Divine Feminine). In ancient Nordic cultures and countless across the world, the number three is said to hold powerful mystical properties, symbolising harmony and balance. The first shape that can be formed from more than one line, the triangle is a representation of 3, the number of sacred creation.
