INSIDE: Suits of armor went out of style a few centuries ago, but that doesn’t mean we can’t protect ourselves from all forces around us. Crystal grids for protection empower us to face our fears because the universe will guide and lead us towards our purpose. Read on to learn how to create one for yourself!

 

Everyday life in our human existence throws so many unexpected challenges our way. It could be the onset of conflict with a friend or family member, an accident on the way to work, or a fallen tree limb landing through the roof in the attic – all things we never saw coming!

We have to keep moving forward in order to manifest abundance and joy in our lives, but these snafus can definitely take their toll on our time, energy, and wellbeing.

That’s why we often implement behaviors, habits, and devices to help protect us from the fear of or the actual dangers that threaten to destabilize our auras.

We exercise to protect our physical health. We set aside time to spend with our partners and friends to reinforce our relationships. We install alarm systems for our cars and our homes to feel secure when we are inside or away.

These measures affect the dangers and challenges we may come to face. For example, just the presence of an alarm system significantly deters people from committing burglary. Regular exercise can prevent certain diseases, or at least fortify the body with strong immune responses when it needs to fight.

But there’s one more tool that offers a ton of energetic protection and works on physical, mental, and spiritual levels all at the same time. While they can’t replace a digital alarm system, crystal grids for protection work on a different frequency to repel negative energy and intentions away from our bodies and homes.

Let’s find out more about how crystal grids can specifically bring protection to our lives…

How Crystal Grids Offer Protection

We’ve talked before about crystal grids and their robust energetic healing energies. Crystal grids serve many intentions and draw energy to fulfill desires and manifest dreams.

While they give off general good vibes and positivity, we can actually program crystal grids for protection to shield us from fear, doubt, and negativity.

Help Reduce Fear

More often than not, we protect ourselves from what we fear. We can look at statistics all we want to learn about how unlikely it might be that we will catch a virus, be victims of crime, or get sucked into the eye of a tornado.

Still, we prepare ourselves for the unlikeliest of events because we fear the terrible outcome and loss if we do encounter them. 

There are many crystals for fear, and when we place those stones in a crystal grid, it can provide us with a potent and natural remedy for fear.

By programming a crystal grid for protection, we harness energies that not only calm irrational thoughts and worries but also build up our inner strength to overcome fear.

When we are no longer crippled by fear, we can better respond to the challenges that rise up on our spiritual path.

Build an Energetic Shield

We can’t prevent every misfortune or obstacle in our way, but with a crystal grid for protection, we can soften the blow.

Crystal grids pulsate frequencies that nourish our auras so that we have the energy and stamina to confront dangers that threaten us. When a crystal grid is built like a shrine, we activate an energetic exchange between our bodies and the grid to constantly feed us protective vibes. This allows us to create a shield that we can carry with us all day.

They can also connect a powerful energetic shield that can surround specific places where we layout our crystals.

Crystal grids don’t have to be restricted to a small, tabletop space. Rather we can spread them across an area, like a room or house. It might not look like a grid to the untrained eye, but the placement and activation that you give the grid generates the protective energy.

Different Types of Protection From Crystal Grids

By learning how crystals target our fears and build energetic shields, we can better understand the different types of protection we might seek from crystal grids.

Depending on the target, crystal grid layouts for protection can stand guard over our spiritual realms and our physical sanctuaries. 

Ward off Psychic Attack & Negative Energy 

One of the most important ways crystal grids offer protection is by dissipating negative energy that encircles us and penetrates our spirit aura.

Negativity is tantamount to spiritual evil. It knocks our chakras off balance and distracts us from the positive intentions we plant and tend. It can sink our psyche into depths of despair.

We need a strong, stable psychic level to be able to access divine wisdom and fulfillment in our lives. We often fear the unknown and need protection as we face the unexpected changes that will come. 

A crystal grid for protection that relies on the Flower of Life geometric layout is particularly effective at guiding us through transitions and change.

There are many template designs available to download for free online, or you can spend time with sacred geometry to measure and trace your own seed.

Create a Field of Protection for the Home 

Crystal grids work beyond spiritual levels to give us protection in important physical realms as well. Our physical bodies represent the human vessel that carries our divine intention and presence. Our homes provide us with sanctuary and serenity to recharge and care for our personal spirituality.

If we don’t give attention to these areas, we risk attracting negative energy that makes us vulnerable to spiritual attack, as well as to careless behaviors that put our home in danger.

Building a crystal grid for protection that targets the home can have resounding effects in many areas of our lives. While not every house or room adheres to a square or rectangular figure, the square geometry has powerful protective energy.

Thus, relying on the corners of a house or a room as anchors for a crystal grid sets the foundation for an impenetrable energetic shield. When you lay out a massive crystal grid, it’s important to mindfully choose the nodal vertices and to intentionally place your crystals so that they will stay safely in place once you activate the grid.

5 Powerful Crystals for Protection in a Crystal Grid

With an idea of at least two crystal grid layouts for protection, here are 5 incredible crystals to help fuel the protective energy.

Many guides recommend sticking to 3 types of crystals in a grid because of the intense interactions that different energies can blend. However, the beauty of crystal grid work is that there are no rules!

Black Tourmaline

We cannot recommend more the use of Black Tourmaline in a crystal grid for protection. This stone’s reputation stretches back to ancient eras as one of the most powerful protective crystals. Use it as a centering stone within the grid to really charge the energy. 

Black Tourmaline wards off negativity and dark forces on every level – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Plus, it takes negative energy and transforms it into positive vibes that can empower us to overcome our fears.

Labradorite

Labradorite has a particular resonance with our spiritual aura. As a protective crystal, it helps us make sense of the changes and transformations that await us, and that frankly can terrify us.

Using tumbled Labradorite stones to amplify the energy in a crystal grid can build an unscalable fortress around our spiritual being so that we can safely confront our fears.

Smoky Quartz 

Quartz, in general, should always find a place in a crystal grid as one of the 3 main crystals of the grid, as helper crystals to amplify your intention, or as a wand of activation. When building crystal grids for protection, Smoky Quartz is the one to include.

Smoky Quartz works wonders on fears that keep us from flourishing. It absorbs negative energy, but it takes one step more. Whereas protection from negative energy means that we prevent it entering our aura, it still exists in the world. Smoky Quartz actually transforms negativity into positive frequencies!

Amethyst 

Amethyst is a power player of a crystal. For protection, Amethyst works particularly well to carry us through transformative experiences that make us vulnerable to doubt, uncertainty, and fear.

In a crystal grid for protection, we can let Amethyst take the helm at the center when we use it. It has intense energy to combat psychic attack and evil spirits that try to penetrate our focus and intention when we dive into spirit work. You could even use an Amethyst Geode for the center.

Citrine

Like Smoky Quartz, Citrine works in a crystal grid to infuse positive energy into our aura to feed us vitality and courage. This crystal unleashes sun energy to empower and inspire.

Another important and unique trait that Citrine has – it doesn’t have to be cleared. Other crystals used in crystal grids need cleansing periodically to recharge their power and energy. 

Because crystal grids need to be in place for days to weeks to maximize their effect, having a crystal like Citrine that can withstand the constant energy work will help balance the work of the other crystals.

Final Thoughts 

It always bears repeating when talking about crystal grids that you don’t have to follow strict rules. Crystal grids contain major spiritual energy, so you should always give care and attention to the grid you build. However, don’t get caught up in too many details of the “right way” to do it.

Let your intuition guide you as you create a fortress of protection. Incorporate the crystals that bring you strength, serenity, and comfort. Create shapes that inspire you and make you feel safe.

Crystal grids for protection help bring ease and comfort into your life so that you overcome fear and feel prepared to confront any challenge or roadblock that tries to get in the way. Using crystal grids will hone your intuition and clarify the path ahead.
