more powerful than you ever thought possible. Here is one
of many crystal configurations:
You will need at least four crystals for this ritual. They
can be any size, depending on the size of the field you want
to create. The larger the field, the bigger the crystals needed.
Four two-inch-long crystals are fine for a personal space of
about one hundred square feet.
Cleanse the crystals, tune them, and tell them what you
plan to do with them. Tell them that you want to use them
together to create a safe powerful field where you can work
or play. Ask their permission to go ahead.
Mark off a circular or rectangular area surrounding your
work space (desk, office, art studio, dark room, meeting
area, whatever).
Set one crystal pointing inward at each of the four direc-
tions. If you have six crystals, you can set two in the middle,
one pointing upward and one downward (propped) for the
upper and lower worlds.
You now have an amplified work space where your pro-
ductivity can increase multifold. Avoid going into this space
if you are feeling cynical or overly negative.

CREATING YOUR OWN POWER SPOT


Creating a power spot is similar to the ritual of using crys-
tals to create a safe place. This spot is sometimes known as
the medicine wheel. It's a place that you can use again and
again for rituals, journeys, or gatherings, depending on how
big you make it. Sitting in the middle of this mini personal
power spot will energize you and empower you.
Select a site, preferably outdoors, that is flat, free of traf-
fic, and feels good to you.
Collect rocks, pine cones, or other natural objects that
appeal to you, that you can use to outline the circle.
Outline a circle approximately eight feet in diameter.
(This is optimal for one person but you can make it any size.)
Cleanse the entire area with burning sage. Each participant
helping to construct the circle or wheel can cleanse (smudge)
with sage as well.
Either dig a small fire pit in the center or place a large
rock or power object in the center. Invoke the spirit of the
Sky above and the Earth below.
Place one larger rock or object at each of the four direc-
tions and while doing so, invoke the power of that direction.
You can place crystals at these locations for amplification if
