To help navigate the waves of high-frequency downloads, revelations, and evolutionary information pouring through the Lion's Gate Portal, we created this crystal grid based on the sacred geometry symbol of Metatron’s Cube. This potent pattern helps cleanse negative energy and opens up the crown chakra to receive divine wisdom and guidance.

Crystal Grid for a Strong & Joyful Spirit

Ruby for creativity and expansiveness in awareness and manifestation, Garnet to kindle your inner fire. Tangerine Quartz to nurture the emotional body and amplify courage, Herkimer for new beginnings, Sunstone for leadership and independence...

Nurturing Home Crystal Grid

The intention of this crystal grid is to help integrate the realization that our true home lies within. Work with Black Moonstone, Smoky Quartz, Rhodonite, Rose Quartz, Pink Mangano Calcite, and Lapis to intentionally nurture a fundamental sense of safety.

Light your Inner Fire of Inspiration

Lean into the archetype of the truth-seeker, on fire with inspiration, motivation, and creativity. Work with the root chakra and get into a Horse Stance of emotional stability to provide a launch-pad for creative expression, inspired projects and transformation...

Create a Crystal Grid for Crystal Clear Communication

Gemini is ruled by the Mercury, planet of communication and messenger of the gods--Learn how you can created a crystal grid of blue crystals that resonate with the throat chakra, and support clear and effective communication.

Create an Eclipse Energy Crystal Grid

Scorpio is the sign of transformation, magnetism, and dynamic, emotional reactions. This energy is magnified by the effects of a lunar eclipse. Creating a crystal grid with Onyx and Citrine can help you get grounded, sooth heightened emotions around the eclipse, and bring in bright energies of positivity and abundance to balance out the watery depths of Scorpio.
