Black Tourmaline Natural Crystal

Also known as Schorl, Black tourmaline is a semi-precious gemstone that is considered to be an extremely powerful healing stone. For generations, people have worn amulets made of black tourmaline to protect themselves against bad luck and negative energy. In fact, the Egyptians called it ‘the stone of life’ and thought it would bring them luck and wealth. Its name is derived from the Sinhalese word, Turmoil, meaning ‘mixed gemstones’ and it is believed to possess unique energetic properties, making it perfect for spiritual and metaphysical practices.

Spiritual

Considered a powerful crystal for the Root Chakra, Black Tourmaline can help clear negativity, ease stress, and protect you from outside harm. It connects your energy to the Earth and makes you feel safe and grounded. It helps keep your energy field balanced and peaceful, which is important for mental healing and growth, by forming a protective shield around you. It fills you up to the brim with feelings of power and confidence by cleaning and clearing the energetic body by getting rid of all those stuck or harmful energies that might be stopping the flow of your life force energy, called chi or prana.

Physical

Black Tourmaline can reduce arthritic pain and discomfort resulting from spinal or muscular problems. If you wear a bracelet made of this crystal, you can alleviate joint pain, muscle tightness and other kinds of physical pain.

The cleansing qualities of black tourmaline help in strengthening the immune system by getting rid of toxins and germs from the body. Some healers think that black tourmaline can help improve blood flow by making energy run faster through the body.

When you receive The Cosmos Tree’s Black Tourmaline crystal, the first thing you should do is open the packet and keep it in your place of worship or an altar if you have any.

If you receive it during the day, keep it in the place of worship for 5 to 10 minutes before using it. However, if you receive it close to the time of sunset, you should leave it overnight and use it the next day in the morning.

As Black Tourmaline helps in protecting you from negative energies, it is best to keep it at the entrance of your home. This will help in turning your home into a safe sanctuary. While offering complete protection, this crystal will also help in balancing and harmonising the energy fields in your space, leaving you with feelings of confidence and self-assurance.

While meditating, you can hold the Black Tourmaline crystal to stay grounded and protected at all times. Close your eyes and imagine the crystal’s vibrations washing over your thoughts and body.

You can also use it to cleanse and strengthen your Root Chakra by placing it on your lower body - on your pelvic floor or the base of your spine.

You can use the Black Tourmaline crystal to create different grids for manifestations.

Cleansing

It's important to clean your black tourmaline often, especially if you use it a lot for energy work or defense. This helps to keep its energetic properties intact and ensure it keeps protecting and balancing you.

To do that, you must rinse your black tourmaline for a few minutes under warm running water. As the water runs over the crystal, picture any bad or stuck energies being washed away and replaced with new, energising energy. Alternatively, you can put your black tourmaline in a bowl of salt water that has The Cosmos Tree Crown Chakra Healing Salt in it. Soak it for a few hours. The Cosmos Tree Crown Chakra Healing Salt is a strong cleanser that can eliminate any bad forces that have built up in the crystal. Once the black tourmaline has been soaked, run water over it to get rid of any residual salt.

Reenergising

As The Cosmos Tree Crystals go through a 4-STEP CAPS process, you don’t need to charge them regularly.

However, you can charge your Black Tourmaline in two ways – in the sunlight and in the moonlight. For the former, put your black tourmaline in full sunlight for a few hours. The best times are early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when the sun is not very strong. For the latter, put your black tourmaline outside or on a window sill so it can soak up the full moon's light. It's best to leave it out in the moonlight overnight so that the crystal can absorb the moon's healing and cleansing energy.
