INTRODUCTION
I first learned about Crystal Grids many years ago. There was very little information about them back then or it was hard to find. Over the years and perhaps thanks to the Internet, this has now changed. The interest and popularity of Crystal Grids has continued to grow, especially in recent years.
One of the first Crystal Grids I ever made was put around my whole bedroom to help create a peaceful environment conductive to sleep. It worked, but how?
As I looked at the Crystal Grids others had created, I noticed that there was still a veil of mystery about them. Many sources did not say why they used each different type of crystal in the grid. Even when they did, they never seemed to explain the significance of the geometric arrangement of the stones.
Thats why its so important for me to explain to you exactly why I selected the crystals in these grids and why I chose the geometric shapes that I did. I think its important to understand not only what youre doing but also why youre doing it. This book will help you understand the metaphysical mechanics and remove the mystery and secrecy behind Crystal Grids.
The Crystal Grids in this book were not created just to look pretty. I have carefully researched and formulated these Crystal Grids using Sacred Geometry, combined with my knowledge of crystals. I have made sure that they will be practical and helpful tools to use in all areas of your life.

THE HISTORY & ORIGINS OF CRYSTAL GRIDS
Some have said that Crystal Grids are an ancient tradition while others say they are a modern invention. So which is true? It is hard to pinpoint exactly when and where the first Crystal Grid was made.
Crystal Grids also known as Crystal Nets or Crystal Layouts, appear to have developed during the growth of modern day Crystal Healing. This began sometime around or after the early 1980s. Just like the practice of Crystal Healing today, Crystal Grids draw on ancient knowledge, traditions and beliefs.
There is plenty of evidence of the meaningful placement of stones and crystals in several different cultures and eras. This might be where the idea came from, or at least Crystal Grids follow a similar system. In this chapter we will explore a few of these ancient spiritual practices in more detail.
Stone Circles & Standing Stones
Megalithic monuments can be found all around the world. The Stone Circles and structures of Europe are well known, truly ancient, yet still shrouded in mystery and controversy. The makers of these structures clearly believed in the importance of using stones, their position on the landscape and their relation to the Sun, Moon and very likely the Stars.
It is believed that places like this were once used for spiritual practices, rituals and healing. Esoteric and metaphysical beliefs about these standing stones say that the ancients were tapping into the energy of the Planet. Or that they were drawing in energies from the Cosmos. These locations are said to have been built on places of importance. This includes Ley Lines and Vortex points, which form where Ley Lines converge. This network of energy that crosses the landscape is closely connected to Sacred Geometry.
What we do know is that these standing stones are placed with geometric design and alignment to other important monuments. They are also placed to align with the Sun, Planetary cycles and the constellations.
Stonehenge is one of the most well known Stone Circles in the world. The larger stones were somehow transported to England from a mountainous region in Wales. Preseli Bluestone seems to have had some kind of special meaning for these people. The circular markings it has may have represented the stars or the Universe itself.
