What a list … and why wouldn’t you want everything on it? Black tourmaline is an impressive stone and listed below are several ways you can work with it.
Enjoy!
A quick and easy way to get rid of any negative energy you have generated, or that you have picked up from someone else is to use this wonderful stone. It can also clear your environment if you just keep a piece with you.
Anyway – to work with it yourself, all you have to do is clean your stone, place it on your solar plexus chakra with the striations running vertically, not horizontally, and ask it if it would help you do this by transmuting any negativity in the chakra.
The black tourmaline will then work very quickly and efficiently to clear the chakra, and you can use it on any other chakra you are drawn to work with as well, if you feel there is any negativity stuck inside another one of the vortices.
You can also enhance the clearing process by putting another black tourmaline (or do it separately with the same stone after cleansing it) between your feet and visualising a vortex of cleansing energy starting at your feet, swirling round your body in your energy field, clearing your aura and subtle bodies. You will also need to ask the crystal to cleanse these parts of your energy system as well. The vortex created by the black tourmaline will spiral up above your head, carrying anything you no longer need right out of your system. It is very effective.
Black tourmaline also restores balance to the base chakra – 5 to 10 minutes with the stone near the chakra will make you feel a lot better. It will also enhance your grounding ability, as long as you add this to your intention to balance the chakra. It can be used to activate a connection between your base chakra and the centre of the Earth. One way of doing this is to place a black tourmaline on each knee and ask the crystal to send energy down from your knees, through your feet and into the ground. It’s astonishing!
And the thing you need to remember about this stone is that as well as helping your ground your own energy on the earthplane, it also helps you to ground spiritual energy. So working with the energy of the stone while you are working with helpers and guides will enable you to manifest their energy in your life. It will also help you maintain a spiritual connection to your helpers and guides more easily during stressful periods of your life. That is always helpful!
Another useful thing is that black tourmaline – when used with intent – will balance both hemispheres of the brain.
But best of all, it is one of the stones which clears the electromagnetic smog generated by TVs, computers, mobile phones and any other electrical devices you have in your environment. I actually find this is the most useful thing it does and I use it constantly for this. Try it and see if you are over-exposed to electrical fields of any kind. It works wonders.
And please don’t forget to thank your crystal when you have finished working with it!
