Black Tourmaline | 12 Days of Crystals | Countdown to Christmas

Hi everyone and welcome to the tenth day of our countdown to Christmas! I can't believe there are only two more days left of our countdown! Our crystal of the day today is Black Tourmaline. We will discuss the healing properties, the science as well as how to use this crystal as a tool in your life in this blog post. Today's positive affirmation: 'I am calm, centred and grounded. ' (Hold your crystal, close your eyes and repeat three times.) Watch today's video:

Black Tourmaline is one of those stones that I feel is a must have for any crystal collection. It is known as an amazing 'Protection' stone. It is a great crystal for protection, cleansing and grounding. Here are some of the many metaphysical properties of Black Tourmaline:

• cleansing

• grounding

• protection

• balancing

• centred

• calming

• healing

• detoxifying

• neutralising negativity

• purifying

• security

• good stone for empaths

Black Tourmaline healing properties include purifying the body of toxins as well as cleansing the emotional body of negative thoughts and feelings such as anxiety and anger. This stone brings you a feeling of security and helps to keep your auric field balanced. Black Tourmaline is a powerful crystal that is great placed around your home, in your car or by your computer. It helps to get rid of the emission of bad radiation from computers. Put a piece of Black Tourmaline by your computer to act as a shield from EMF.

Furthermore, because it is a very protective and grounding stone I would recommend doing a 5-10 minute meditation with your Black Tourmaline crystal when you receive it so that you can connect to it's energy. Then you can carry it with you whenever you feel like you want protection from negativity and low vibrations such as when going into large public areas. This crystal can act as your mini bodyguard!

Black Tourmaline forms within the Earth when hot liquid containing a combination of minerals cools and forms together. It is also known as Schorl and has a Mohs hardness of 7 to 7.5. Black Tourmaline is pyroelectric and piezoelectric meaning, it can polarise and transduce energy. It can be sourced in places like USA, Africa and Brazil.

In regards to Chakra healing, Black Tourmaline is an amazing stone for working with the Root Charka which is located around the base of your spine. Placing Black Tourmaline by the bottom of your feet during a chakra layout or holding this stone during meditation will help to ground your energy and body. It will help to centre and balance your emotions and energy as well as leave you feeling more secure, calm and relaxed. The Root Chakra is associated with security and safety and like I mentioned in today's video, Black Tourmaline helps you feel more secure so a very powerful stone for working with your Root Chakra.
