The Evolution of My Reiki Grids

As my practice has deepened over the years, the Reiki grids I have worked with have also evolved. Each one reflected the energies of its time and the guidance I received. From the traditional World Peace Grid to the Metatron’s Cube transitional grid and now to the Mirror Grid, each step has been an invitation to expand consciousness and embody more of our truth.

The World Peace Grid

For years, I used the same grid that I still teach my Reiki Master students to build, which is a grid designed for World Peace by William Rand. The grid's purpose is to send Reiki over distance to the six World Peace grids, located in different parts of the world, to assist in creating peace on the planet among all people. We also added names of people, animals, groups, goals, and anything one might think of, so that they would also receive Reiki.

The Metatron’s Cube Grid

Then, just before my monthly livestream on Oct 5, 2023, I was preparing to set the grid on my desk to share during the broadcast and felt it was not quite “right.” I asked what it needed and saw a wooden cutout of sacred geometry on top of the current photo of the World Peace Grid. I believe the design is called Metatron’s Cube. I got it a few years ago, but didn’t know why I wanted it or what I was ever going to use it for.

The countdown to going live was almost over, so I quickly removed all the crystals from the photo that had served as my World Peace grid base. I placed the Metatron’s Cube on top of it and then wondered what came next. It felt like a good idea to put rose quartz at all the points and the center. I had the right amount to construct it, and it felt in resonance (energetic agreement) with me on all levels.

I asked why this change was now appropriate for the grid. The Emissaries of Light communicated to me that while the World Peace Grid project had been a positive and wonderful endeavor, it was also created in 1997, a time much different energetically than our current times. New energies are now available to us, and we are invited to look beyond what we have made and relied upon in the past. To be clear, the energies are not new, but our ability to engage with and utilize them has evolved and continues to do so.

By adding the twelve pieces of rose quartz and the sphere at the center, the grid became not only a transmitter of peace but also a bridge between higher dimensions. It honored the healing of the Earth while activating the higher-dimensional energy we came here to embody. During livestreams, I invited people to place their names or intentions in the chat to be included in this new, upgraded grid. The Reiki flowed to everyone named and to the collective highest good of humanity.

This “Metatron’s Cube” grid was a transitional version — a stepping-stone between my long-used World Peace Grid base and the version I now use, which incorporates a mirror as its foundation. This newest design reflects even more clearly the unity of above and below, Earth, humanity, and higher consciousness.

The Mirror Grid

When I was first guided to create the Mirror Grid, I didn’t have all of the elements figured out. The only thing I knew for certain was that it needed to be a decagon. At first, I was critical of this choice, thinking a 12-sided shape would be more in line with sacred geometry. But the guidance was clear and unmistakable: it had to be ten sides.

After some searching, I found a metallic decagon from an Etsy shop in the UK. Decagons aren’t common, so it took time to find a piece that felt right, but when I did, I knew it was the one.

Next came the question of the base. At first, I thought my husband could cut a thin piece of plywood, as he had done for my earlier grid, but it quickly became clear that the wood appearance was not “right” for this design. I tried to imagine ways to dress it up — paint, stain, fabric — but none resonated. Then, when he informed me that the available wood at the store was warped, it was confirmation that I needed to rethink everything.

That’s when I remembered a round mirror tucked away in the basement. I had high hopes, but when I paired it with my decagon, it was too small. I realized that the strong disappointment I felt was itself a form of guidance: the base was meant to be a mirror. I eventually found one online that was the right size, with gold trim that matched the decagon perfectly.

Through reflection and asking, I came to understand the deeper meaning.

The ten sides of the decagon honor the union between humanity and All That Is. Humanity has always been defined by ten fingers and ten toes, and this shared trait gave rise to the base-10 system of numbers — a framework embraced across cultures, borders, and time. Even modern technology rests on the binary code of 1 and 0 (together forming 10), reminding us that from the simplest patterns, humanity has built the world we know today. Across millennia, this shared foundation reflects the deep connection we hold as one human family.

The mirror base extends this meaning. It symbolizes the endless reflection of our reality on Earth, extending upward into the universe — as above, so below. The mirror reminds us that we are always connected to the infinite, and that what we create here reverberates far beyond what we can see.

In this way, the mirror serves as a portal — a gateway of communication and healing energy that unifies the human and the divine. It reflects our lived reality on Earth while opening us to the infinite realms and our higher selves, our direct connection to All That Is, Source, God, or whatever name resonates with you. Through this exchange, there is a constant flow of energy: what we offer is magnified, and what we allow through energetic agreement transforms us.

Before the Get Over It! series, I was preparing to move the grid onto my desk so it would be visible in the livestream video frame. As I did this, I noticed how each stone was completely unique — no two matched in color, shape, size, or composition. From my judgmental mind, I thought the grid didn’t look like any I had seen before and wasn’t symmetrical except for the decagon. I wondered whether I had made it correctly or “right.”

But as the countdown to go live neared, I quieted myself. The answer came through immediately. The stones represent humanity — the many cultures, ethnicities, characteristics, and locations of people across the world and throughout time. The lines of the decagon separating the stones represent the borders that we think divide us. In truth, this is an illusion, and from a larger perspective, we are held in an ordered, coherent matrix of light and intelligence.

No stone is greater than another. Each is part of the whole, unique and special in its own ways — like us. No one is higher or more important in the fabric of humanity. In that moment, I understood that the grid’s construction was perfect. I let go of any doubt, and with that realization, I clicked the button and began the livestream.

The crystals and their placements may continue to change as I prepare for each livestream, if and how I am guided. For now, this is the explanation of why these stones are placed as they are.

Closing

From the World Peace Grid to Metatron’s Cube and now to the Mirror Grid, each stage of this journey has been guided by the energy of the times in which we live and our human evolution. The grids continue to serve as gateways to healing, remembrance, and empowerment. Each time they shift, they invite us to shift as well — to trust guidance, to let go of what no longer serves, and to step more fully into the light of who we truly are.
