Creating Crystal Grids: For Beginners

What are grids and what do we use them for?
Grids are energetic transmitters. They are like two-way radios that create an energetic field that will either bring energy down or send it out. When we create a grid, we are either calling in energy to be released into the environment for some purpose or intent or sending the energy out into the atmosphere for transmutation or for distant spiritual healing.
The most common configurations for grids are in geometric shapes; triangles, squares, stars, circles, etc…
When we create our grids we are calling upon the strength and the energetic qualities of these eternal geometric shapes to work in conjunction with these grids. We are asking for their assistance. It is my belief that that the grids that we create work in harmony with the sacred geometry shapes.
