Notes From My Professional Experience
In my healing practice, I use Black Tourmaline daily as it is the premier grounding, purifying and protective crystal. It is absolutely essential in all healing work in order to ground the energy and absorb negativity that may be present on the physical, mental, emotional or spirit level. I use it extensively in grids and healing layouts, especially near the feet, in the hands and at the Root Chakra. Whenever I do a healing session, even if I don't use the Black Tourmaline on the body, I have a large chunk of it nearby as it will keep the session protected and cleansed of outside influences. In Feng Shui, I pair it with Selenite to create a complete cleansing, purifying energy for any space. Selenite broadcasts clearing energy and Black Tourmaline absorbs negative energy, so the pair of them work together for a balanced atmosphere. It is extremely protective, and every home should have at least one large specimen as a guardian.
