We are frequently asked, "What crystal can I use for protection?" Our favorite is Black Tourmaline and no crystal works harder for us. It's one of our favorites for protection and for absorbing low lying energies such as fear, sadness, anxiety and anger. We often recommend it to customers looking for needed relief in their work and living spaces. Use it in your vehicles, handbags, backpacks, luggage when traveling or anywhere you're in public spaces. You can place a piece in the four corners of your home or work space.
This crystal emits an incredibly grounding energy and creates a defensive energetic shield around your aura. Sometimes we unknowingly absorb dense or low lying energies from other people or spaces. This can lead us to feel unmotivated, lethargic, unhappy, or anxious. These emotions are not ours but we carry them in our auric fields as if they are. They take us out of alignment and cause difficulty sleeping, concentrating or relating to others. Using Tourmaline is one of the many tools that can help prevent you from picking up unwanted energies.
Keep your tourmaline regularly cleansed and charged. We recommend Selenite, smudging with herbs, or using sound vibrations to transmute low lying energies into a higher vibration. Infusing the Tourmaline with an intention such as, "Protect myself, loved ones, and my space from emotions, thoughts and energies that are not mine and not for my highest good. Send Love and Light back to those energies so that they are transmuted to a higher vibration. Thank you, thank you, thank you." Working with this bodyguard protection crystal will help keep you grounded and centered at home and on the go!

One of our favorite ways to manifest and utilize our crystals is with a crystal grid. A crystal grid is a geometric pattern of energetically aligned crystals charged by our intention for the purpose of manifestation. Your unique energetic vibration or blueprint is used to design a field of energy to support your intentions and create your realities at a more conscious level!
Crystal grids combine the energies and properties of specific crystals with the mechanics of other metaphysical systems. It is done with the intention of manifesting a desired result. Grids are geometric patterns (or sacred geometry) of energetically aligned stones or crystals. The grid incorporates the use of crystals and stones because each one of them carries a unique vibration or frequency. You can also add in elements of nature such as feathers, twigs, flowers, seashells, and leaves. The objects within a grid are used to assist with manifesting our intentions. It is like giving our intention a boost of sorts. We activate grids with our intention and can use the grid for any intention we desire! Abundance, protection, connection to angels or guides, healing, love, joy, happiness, new career - the possibilities are endless! We can also use these grids to hold space or help others by offering assistance and asking permission from their Higher Self.
Select the Base of Your Grid
You will something to build your crystal grid on. You can use a template of sacred geometry in the form of a Selenite charging plate or a wood grid. Or dedicate an undisturbed space in your home. It can be on a shelf, table, dresser, or even outside. Some of our favorite sacred geometry templates are the Flower of Life and Metatron.
Select Your Crystals or Elements
Choose crystals or elements that make sense for the intention you are trying to achieve. For instance, if you are hoping to bring in abundance, choose crystals such as Aventurine, Jade, or Pyrite. You can find other natural elements by going for a walk. State your intention and be aware of what comes across your path! You will need a center stone to ground your grid. Ideally, this would be a point or tower of high vibration such as Clear Quartz. But you could opt for a crystal sphere, raw cluster, or other elements you find powerful. You will also need a wand to activate the grid. There are many types of wands that can be used but a crystal wand is the best.
Set Your Intention
It's helpful to write out your intention. This can be placed under the grid. If you are making a grid for someone else, it is important to add "if this is for the highest good of all involved."
Intention setting is the process of creating a clear and focused mental or emotional intention for a specific goal or outcome. When manifesting one of the most important elements is to focus on the feeling and sensation that you want to experience once this intention comes into your life. The key to manifesting is letting go of the outcome. We can’t manifest if we are holding too tightly to the who, what, when, where, how and if it will unfold.
By holding onto the outcome too tightly we prevent the universe from being part of the co-creation process. The best way to get out of your own way is to let go of the outcome. Surrender to it and then surrender some more. Focus on the feelings and sensations as if it’s already happened - how do you want to feel in your life!
Cleanse Your Space
Use sage, palo santo, or your favorite way to energetically cleanse your space. Be sure to also smudge around your own energetic field.
Set Your Grid
You can use a sacred geometry pattern to lay out your crystals or intuitively place your elements in a balanced manner with the piece you chose for the center stone in the middle. Don't forget to place your written intention under your grid!
Activate Your Grid
Caring for Your Grid
There is no set length of time to keep your grid but it should be refreshed on occasion or deactivated when your intention has manifested. You will need to reactivate the grid if it's disturbed. Just follow the above directions to reactivate. Tune into your intuition to see what your grid or intention is calling for and follow the signs and opportunities the Universe sends your way!

"Archangel Uriel, bringer of light,
Thank you for inspiring me so I can share my gifts, talents, and self with the world.

And so it is!"

The cosmic alignment of Earth, Sirius, and the Orion constellations opens a spiritual gateway and opportunity for further ascension and potent manifestation. The portal may be open for several days but it's at its peak on August 8th (8/8). The number 8 represents infinity and the endless possibilities for abundance the Universe can offer. Angel Numbers (repetitive numbers that vibrate in the form of messages from the Angelic Realm) 8 and 88 signify a spiritual journey or lesson that you're ready to receive and a portal opening for an opportunity for a deeper spiritual practice. 2024 is also the year 8 in numerology making this particular Lion's Gate portal even more potent!
Working with crystals during a heightened state of cosmic energy can amplify your state of consciousness. Crystals you can work with in meditation and use in setting intentions for the portal are Lemurian, Golden Healer, Labradorite, Amethyst, Terahertz, and Gold Sheen Obsidian. Building and activating a crystal grid on this date is a powerful way to manifest and utilize the cosmic energy. Clear your mind so your intentions are pure and concise. Set intentions for healing, increasing your intuition, releasing karmic debt and the potential for connecting with higher dimensional beings.
This is also an important time for healing. You need to make space for hope, positivity and Love to enter by removing low lying energies such as fear and doubt. Releasing trauma, including ancestral, is a process that cannot be bypassed in order to move forward on your spiritual journey. As humans we tend to bury those emotions and sometimes the suppression becomes an instinctual survival mechanism instead of processing the emotions through honing a set of health coping skills. Everyone is different and so what may work for one person might not work for another. Lean into the shift and discover your true potential!
