Sit comfortably with your chosen Sri Yantra at eye level and allow your gaze to soften, letting the imagery lull you into a meditative state and moving patterns begin to form. Next, you can get a Sri Yantra, an Indian form of sacred geometry that is used in visualisation meditation. Again, you can buy pre-made Mandalas such as this one to colour in, or draw one yourself from scratch.

The repetition helps put us in a meditative flow state and allows for creativity, insight, and inspiration to flow. First you can draw and colour in Mandalas, meaning “circle” in Sanskrit. There are a couple of options with this one. They also don’t need to be all the same crystal per layer, but it can help to anchor and magnify your intention.

You do not need to hit all the cross-points, a selection of about 5-20 crystals per grid should suffice. With mindfulness, work your way outwards placing your crystals at the intersections of where the lines meet. Next, start with a centre crystal based on your intention (check out our post on the best beginners’ crystals for ideas), and place it in the middle of the pattern, focussing on your intention. You can either draw it out yourself on paper, which will double up as a meditative practice in and of itself simply visualise it and where you will place the crystals or buy a pre-made base such as this one. For example, for growth and spirituality you might choose the Flower of Life. Pick your sacred geometrical shape based on your intention. Here I will discuss a few options in each: Like with any spiritual practice, you can interact with it in any way that calls to you, but the most popular uses are in crystal grids, meditation, and adornments. In physical 3D form, it can be seen in the cube (or hexahedron, discussed below).

Symbolically a square indicates structure and stability (like the 4s in Tarot), and is representative of the four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) and the cardinal directions (North, East, South, West), it grounding and rooting and would be associated with the Root and Solar Plexus Chakra. The pyramids are famous physical 3D examples of this structure, composed of four triangles and a square base (technically called a tetrahedron, discussed below). They can represent the mother, father, and child mind, body, and spirit and pointing upwards is indicative of rising consciousness (a downward pointing triangle relates to the Divine Feminine). In ancient Nordic cultures and countless across the world, the number three is said to hold powerful mystical properties, symbolising harmony and balance. The first shape that can be formed from more than one line, the triangle is a representation of 3, the number of sacred creation.
