Then, visualize a beam of white light going up the center of your body, out the top of your head, and finally connecting you to the energy of the Sun. Then, connect to God, spirit, the universe, all that is, zero point energy.- whatever you
want to call it – and bring that energy down back into your body to the center of your heart. Now, you’re connected to above and you’re connected below.

Hold your Black Tourmaline in your hands and just LET IT GO. Let go of any anxiety, uncertainty, or anything going on in your life that is bringing you angst. Bring it to the forefront of your mind, allowing the Black Tourmaline to absorb, sucking any darkness, any confusion, any sadness, any pain and you are seeing it. Come out of every energy field and being sucked into this Earth.

This Black Tourmaline grid has the ability to do several things: it grounds the energy of the room, absorbs any toxic and negative energy and seals the room with a protective shield. This is important to do if you feel like negative people keep entering your space and/or accidents and delays keep occurring. This grid of protection assists in balancing out the energy and dispelling any enegies of a lower vibration.

Wear Black Tourmaline or Carry it in Your Pocket or Purse to Shield Yourself from psychic Attacks and Energy Vampires

Black Tourmaline is one of the best crystals for protection, making it a powerful way to protect yourself from negative energy. It also helps to put an energetic boundary between yourself and others, so that you don’t pick up other people’s energy, then making it your own. It’s one thing to be loving, compassionate and caring to others, but it’s another to make someone else’s energy your own to the point of making you feel depressed, anxious or left with no energy. Wearing a Black Tourmaline Bracelet daily can help you maintain that boundary!
