DIY Copper Pyramids

Meditating under a skeletal copper pyramid may look a little strange but practitioners testify to its healing properties. The combination of the pyramid shape with the highly conductive properties of copper is viewed as a powerful source of energy. Taking its inspiration from the Great Pyramid of Giza, copper-made versions can be built relatively easily and for little cost.

Things You'll Need

• 4 copper pipes, 1/2 inch in diameter
• Tape measure
• A flexible metal keyring
• Drill with variable-sized bits
• Pliers
• Copper electrical wire
• Wire cutter

Instructions

• 1

  Use a tape measure to mark uniform drill holes at the top ends of the four copper pipes. Attach a drill bit that is slightly wider in diameter than the strip of keyring metal and drill through the markings on the copper, to create a hole that runs through both sides of each pipe evenly.

• 2

  Straighten out the loop of the keyring just enough to push it through the holes made in Step 1, inter-connecting all four copper pipes. The holes should be wide enough for the keyring to fit through, enabling the copper pipes to lean in on one another in perfect balance while also capable of rotating their base ends comfortably without distorting the keyring.

• 3

  Spread the base ends of the copper pipes on a flat level surface so that they form a perfect square. Mark the corners of the square for future reference.

• 4

  Run the electrical wire along the floor and all around the four-piped square baseline of the pyramid structure. Notch the wire where it completes the square but leave several inches of surplus wire for knotting.

• 5

  Repeat Step 1 with the base ends of the four copper pipes but size the drill bit so that it has a slightly wider diameter than the wire.

• 6

  Push the wire through the first hole of the first pipe and make a knot in the end of the wire so that it is secured on the interior of the pipe. Push any excess wire up inside the pipe.

• 7

  Continue to push the wire through the pipe holes so that all adjacent pipes are interconnected. Before securing, rotate out each base end of the copper pipes so that they form the square baseline that was marked out in Step 3.

• 8

  Make sure that the wire is moderately tense before marking it with a cut-off point where the end knot can be tied.

• 9

  Tie an end knot in the wire so that it sits securely inside the first copper pipe to complete the circuit. Tuck any extra wiring up inside the pipe.

• 10

  Position your pyramid, adjusting the squareness of the base and angles of the sides if necessary.
