BLACK TOURMALINE - SCHORL

Black Tourmaline deflects negative energies rather than absorbing them. It can be used, worn or carried when going into negative environments or when we are expecting to come into contact with heavy or dense energies: helping to shield or immunise us against harmful effects (physical or psychological). It can also be used to neutralise our own negative energies such as anger, jealousy, resentment, insecurity etc. It encourages a positive attitude no matter what the circumstances.

This is one of the best stones to use when trying to ground spiritual energies. It is ideal for placing on the lower chakra points during crystal healing therapies, to channel and use the energies from the higher chakras. Black Tourmaline wands can be placed @ the knees or feet, with the terminations facing towards the toes to direct negative energies out of the body. Black wands can also be used to direct energies from the crown to the base chakras. These wands can be used for clearing and releasing blockages in the auric or physical body, by holding them above a constricted area and rotating anti-clockwise. When using this technique it is wise to also direct at least three Clear Quartz crystals toward the affected area to help dissolve the blockage.

Black Tourmaline defends against debilitating disease, strengthens the immune system, treats Arthritis, provides pain relief, and re-aligns the spinal column.
