Lo Shu Grid is one of the most interesting concepts in numerology. It is derived from your date of birth, as it charts the nine major numbers on a three by three grid, indicating which numbers exist in your life and which do not. The missing numbers on your grid are not empty spaces on a document, but represent qualities, energies, & aspects of life where you might be experiencing recurring problems, deadlock, or have the feeling that something is not yet fully grown in.
The logical question that would arise after this is; Are these missing numbers fillable? And of that, which has the better effect, working with crystals or the practice of manifestation? The solution, as discussed at the International Numerology Forum by the experts, it’s not an either-or choice.
Understanding the Lo Shu Grid
To see the solutions, one should first find out what a missing number is.
For Example;
- When the number 1 does not feature in your grid, you might have a problem in self confidence, leadership, or identification of your own voice.
- The absence of 4 may cause more trouble in accessing the discipline, stability, and methodical thinking as a natural state.
- A missing number 8 can pose a problem with material wealth, power, or material security in the long run.
These are not irreversible shortcomings. These are the areas of your life where the natural vibration is less and where the conscious effort, with the assistance of right vibrations, can make a meaningful difference.
How Manifestation Works
The power of word vibration is known to be manifest in terms of numerology. The moment we speak, think, or write while keeping an intention in mind, we create a certain energetic frequency. The repetitive affirmations, visualizations, & conscious statements, in tune with the power of a missing number, are used to introduce that vibration into our everyday activities.
In case your grid lacks the 3 (number of creativity, communication & joy), such as when you have a number with the same associations), affirming yourself as creative, engaging in creativity exercises & deliberate practice of optimism will start creating that force in your life. The effort to make the vibration is inner, and in the perpetual concentration of thought and word. Manifestation goes on at the consciousness level. It is an inner habit that slowly transforms the way you think, feel, & eventually brings experiences according to the lacking energy.
How Crystals Work
The principle of crystals is altogether different. Instead of acting by way of consciousness and purpose, they act through the energy of minerals, that is, by the natural vibrational rate that the physical form of the stone attains. Each crystal possesses a constant, fixed energy that is able to relate to the energy field of the human being through mere proximity & contact.
Each of the nine numbers are correlated to certain crystals.
- The number 1 is Sunstone or Ruby
- The number 2 is Moonstone
- The number 3 is Citrine
- The number 4 is Green Aventurine
- The number 5 is Clear Quartz
- The number 6 is Rose Quartz
- The number 7 is Amethyst
- The number 8 is Tiger’s Eye
- The number 9 is Red Jasper.
The mere act of wearing or carrying the crystal that has a vibrational frequency matching your missing number places the vibrational frequency into your energy field continuously without the need for willing effort from your mind.
Crystals operate on the plane of the physical & energetic body. They are an external aid, which is a supplement to the inner work of manifestation.
Which One Is Better?
Dr. JC Chaudhry and the International Numerology Forum are categorical on this, both tools are useful, but the further they belong to different levels. Therefore, both are in no competition to each other. It is hard to decide between the two as they are two sides of the same coin, and it is impossible to tell which one is better or, should they be combined, which one performs better.
The missing vibration is created through the inside out process of manifestation, by the unrelenting strength of conscious thought and intention. Crystals help sustain that work on the outside in, by giving a constant energy reinforcement of what you are already working on the inside. They form a much more complete and effective approach than either of them can work alone.
A Practical Approach
The best strategy to use in case you are dealing with a missing number in your Lo Shu Grid will be to combine the two practices. Carry or have the crystal which is related to your missing number. At the same time, bring in conscious intentions, affirmations and activities that reflect the attributes of that number in your everyday life.
The grid indicates the locations of the gaps. The crystals can be used to fill them. It does not matter as much as how consistently and sincerely you apply them.
