How to Create a Stone Grid
Step 1: Gather the Supplies
Nine feng shui stones (for instance, 8 black obsidian and 1 red jasper), a shallow bowl, twine or cord, scissors.
Step 2: Create a Pyramid Formation
Arrange the nine stones in a pyramid formation inside the bowl. This is the basic starting point of your feng shui stone grid. Start by placing four stones in a square formation at the base of the pyramid and then place the next four on top of those in an inverted pyramid format before adding one stone to the very top.
Step 3: Connect Each Stone
Once you’ve placed all nine stones in their respective positions within the bowl, connect each stone with twine or cord. As you tie each piece of string around every stone, imagine yourself sending them energy and stating your intentions for what this grid will create for you.
Step 4: Activate Your Feng Shui Stones Grid
Once all nine stones are connected and fastened together with your cords or twines, hold both hands over the center of your stone grid while imagining yourself dripping white light into it and activating its energies. You might also want to recite an affirmation such as “My feng shui stones provide me with vitalizing energy that radiates outwards to heal both myself and my environment” to express your intention and activate it further.
Step 5: Place Your Grid Somewhere Special
Now that your feng shui stones grid is complete and activated, choose a special place to keep it; somewhere that you can come back to meditate or just check-in on a regular basis. Make sure this spot is undisturbed so that its energies may keep expanding without interruption.
Using Intentions
One way to use feng shui stones meaningfully is to set an intention for each one. Before you begin working with any stone, take a few moments to consider what outcome or manifestation you’d like for that particular piece. It could be something related to personal growth, health, relationships, career success, emotional healing and more. Make a note of your intention and keep it close by in case you forget it as you work with the stone. Then place the stone where it can best help support or amplify whatever intent or goal you’ve set.
Remember to thank and cleanse the stones regularly so that they may remain potent energy transmitters when working on your behalf. You can do this simply by holding them in your hands while sending them mental gratitude and visualization of white light purifying its energy field and resetting its energies back to neutral before returning them back into your space or feng shui configuration. You may want to repeat this cleansing process from time to time, especially if you transition from one major stage of life into another or after periods of stagnation.
Combining Stones
When working with Feng Shui stones, it is important to understand how certain combinations of stones can create unique energy that can be harnessed to aid in your practice. Some general combinations include Tiger’s Eye and Jade, which represent the energies of strength and luck respectively; or Black Obsidian and Citrine, which can ward off negativity and bring a sense of harmony and balance. On the other hand, some unique combination could be Jet and Aventurine for increased intuition; Rose Quartz, Amethyst and Selenite for attracting love; or Pyrite with Red Jasper for protection. Working with multiple different types of stones can profoundly increase the amount of energy you are able to work with in your environment. When selecting stone combinations, it also helps to focus on what is called the five elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Metal and Wood. Every type of stone has an association with one element considered its primary quality, so it may be wise to select a combination of stones associated with the same element to amplify its effects.
History and Origin of Feng Shui Stones
Feng Shui stones are said to have ancient origins and have been used in various cultures for centuries. Tibetan Buddhist practitioners believed that the stones could collect, store and release spiritual energy from Feng Shui principles. The Chinese also associated these stones with luck, prosperity and health.
Over time, the idea of using Feng Shui stones spread throughout Asia, and eventually reached Europe. In the 1700s, many people were beginning to experiment with Feng Shui practices to promote good fortune and led to a renewed interest in these types of gemstones. Europeans began to use different types of crystals in their fashion accessories as charms for protection against evil spirits.
Today, feng shui stones are still popular among many cultures around the world as they come in different shapes and sizes, ranging from small pebbles to large rocks or boulders. Depending on color, shape and location, each individual stone can bring a multitude of positive energies including balance, relaxation and motivation into any given space or environment. They are often placed near windows or entrances as reminders for positive life energy to enter the space but can be used anywhere that feels appropriate according to your own intuition. When organized together properly through careful placement and balance with other elements near them, they can promote harmony within a home or workplace while helping create an atmosphere filled with longevity, success and well-being.
Care and Maintenance of Feng Shui Stones
Feng shui stones are believed to possess energy that can transform the environment and bring harmony and balance. While these stones come in many shapes, forms, and sizes, the basic principles of looking after them remain the same.
It is important to cleanse your feng shui stones in order to preserve their energy and keep them vibrant with positive chi. The best way to do this is by soaking them in spring water over overnight. This will also help to remove dust, dirt, or other impurities that may be blocking their natural energy flow. To ensure a more thorough cleansing, you can add a few drops of sage oil into the water before soaking your stones.
Once they are finished soaking, make sure to gently dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth so there’s no moisture left behind on the surface that could damage the stone’s energy vector. When recharging your feng shui stones, you can place them out under direct sunlight for around 10 minutes every few weeks as this helps refresh their energies and keep it strong and powerful.
Finally remember not to expose your feng shui stones excessively to chemical cleaners or aromatic perfumes since these substances can compromise their efficacy and disrupt their energy balance; Similarly try not to store your stones near devices with EMF radiation such as computers or televisions as this has been known to have a negative effect on their vibration level.
