LED Crystal Grid Review & Interview with Jessica Miller from Cracked Crystal Co.<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jessica Miller from the Cracked Crystal Co<\/a>. was so sweet as to send me one of her LED light up grids to try out. It measures 11in X 9.5 in X 1 in. It came with 2 different design plates (made of glass). You can interchange them in the wooden holder. It’s so neat to have 2 options! You place the glass grid you are working with into the wooden slots to hold it in place. Then you attach the plugs that come with it and connect to an electric source. It’s easy to put together. Then you set up your grid. When you are ready to add color to your gridding experience, it comes with a remote to control which colors you want to use. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Only thing I would recommend is including instructions for the remote (sometimes I need the extra help lol). After I turned it on it was a gorgeous blue. I wasn’t expecting it to be so bright! It’s visually stunning! Then I changed the colors many times and each color looked cooler than the last! So much fun and really brings a new layer to the gridding process! I love being able to change colors to suit my intentions. I took pictures of the different colors but unfortunately the pics do not do this grid justice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn’t translate onto the picture. But trust me it is a feast for the eyes! I really am enjoying this grid and look forward to trying different color combinations with different stones. A whole new world of possibilities! This LED light up grid is $85\u00a0and comes with 2 glass grids.You can choose which 2 patterns you want.\u00a0 In the etsy shop<\/a> there are also wood and lucite grid options as well. I highly recommend this light up grid. It truly is magical!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I had the opportunity to ask Jessica some questions about gridding and here are her responses.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Q: How did you get started using and making grids?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jessica:<\/b> I’ve loved crystals for a long time and grown a lot in my spiritual journey throughout the years. Grids helped me better understand my crystals and energy work so of course I wanted to help spread that knowledge.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What are the different styles and materials you make your grids?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jessica:<\/b> Currently we offer grids in wood, lucite and glass. We feature several sacred geometry grids and a few homemade patterns.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What is your personal favorite grid you offer and why?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jessica:<\/b> I am personally partial to our cut out flower of life grid. It’s delicate and gorgeous to look at. I also so appreciate how different our illuminating grid is. There is something powerful about that color under your crystals!<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What do you use gridding for?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jessica:<\/b> Stress relief mostly. I find setting up the grids very relaxing. Taking the time to listen to your stones and see how they work together is so rewarding.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What are some of your favorite crystals to grid with?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jessica: <\/b>Ok so my absolute favorite combo is amethyst and celestite. Such sweet and loving energy. Like a hug from the universe.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Why is gridding an effective tool to add to one’s daily practice?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jessica:<\/b> It’s a time to set aside for yourself and your crystals. Like meditation its important to take that time daily (or as often as you can).<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Q: How long have you worked with grids?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jessica:<\/b> I began working with grids in 2017, so not very long! Honestly, I used to think they were foolish. What would I get out of gridding that I didn’t get from my stones on their own? Boy am I glad I tried it!<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What’s one thing you want to share that I haven’t asked?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jessica:<\/b> This practice is there for self-love and improvement. Remember, you are wonderful and your journey is beautiful. May you be well, happy and peaceful.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
