Black Tourmaline (grounding/protection)

Black Tourmaline

    Ancient magicians relied upon Black Tourmaline, known as Schorl, to protect them from earth demons as they cast their spells. Today this stone is still revered as an exquisite talisman of protection, a psychic shield deflecting and transmuting low frequencies/vibrations, entities, or destructive forces. It  may guard against radiation and environmental pollutants, and is highly useful in purifying and neutralizing one’s own low vibratory thoughts and internal conflicts, and turning them into higher vibrations.
    Black Tourmaline is also a powerful grounding stone, providing a connection between Earth and the human spirit. Its supportive energy aligns the centers of the vessel and assists healing light throughout the system. It promotes a sense of power and self-confidence, allowing for a clearer, more objective view of the world. It is a grand teammate to those who must live or work in challenging environments or when facing difficult circumstances.
    It is an excellent grounding crystal for meditation and healing, and a small number of Black Tourmalines are double-terminated, ideal for body layouts. The linear flow of energies is enhanced equally in both directions along the crystalline form.

Physical~   
    Black Tourmaline stimulates the reflex points associated with the lower back, legs, ankles and feet, and may be used to realign the spinal column(along with exercise). It provides pain relief and assists with strained or torn muscles, numbness, arthritis, and scar tissue.
    It helps defend against debilitating disease and strengthens the immune system, heart, and adrenal glands. It also is beneficial in treating the bowels, constipation, IBS, and diseases of the colon, as well as ridding the body of heavy metal toxins and environmental pollutants.

Emotional~
    A stone of purification, cleansing the emotional body of negative thoughts, anxieties, anger or feelings of unworthiness. It helps in overcoming substance abuse, and releases any suicidal thoughts or self-harming tendencies. It may be beneficial in treating obsessive or compulsive behaviors, and in relinquishing chronic worry.
    It helps assist with physical vitality, replacing tension and stress with the ability to view the world objectively with clear, rational thought and neutrality. It inspires a positive attitude, no matter the circumstances, and stimulates altruism and practical creativity.

Energy Center~
    Black Tourmaline may be used to activate grounding between the Root Chakra and the center of the Earth, providing further enhancement of one’s well-being on the physical plane.
    The Base, or Root Chakra, is located at the base of the spine, and controls the energy for kinesthetic feeling and movement. It is the foundation of physical and spiritual energy for the body. When physically out of balance the symptoms will manifest themselves as lethargy, low levels of activity, low enthusiasm, and a need for constant stimulation. When its spiritual energies are out of balance, you will feel flighty, disconnected from reality, and distant, "in your own little world". When the Root is in balance, the physical body regains its strength and stamina, and the spiritual energy is rekindled in the form of security and sense of one’s own power. It often leads to independence and spontaneous leadership.

    This friend is someone I always have on my person. Being so sensitive to energies, it is a grand protector to have with me, especially in public places! Ha   

Quartz

Quartz

    Quartz is such a valuable tool. In terms of energy, it is an amplifier. Seriously. If you are feeling good, and you add a quartz into the mix, you will feel good x2(or more!). If you are getting upset, and somehow get a hold of an unsuspecting quartz... you will get more upset, and faster. Amplification is not limited to any emotion or experience. Amplify at your own risk~

Physical~   
        Clear Quartz is a master healer crystal, and may be used for any condition. It is thought to stimulate the immune and circulatory systems, enhancing energy flow and bringing the body into balance. It has been used to treat migraine headaches, vertigo, in stabilizing dizziness or motion sickness, and could possibly assist with metabolism, exhaustion, and weight loss.
        Clear Quartz soothes painful or injured areas, especially burns, by drawing away pain and eliminating blistering. A topical elixir is also beneficial in treating skin disorders.
        A quartz elixir taken internally has been used to eliminate toxins from the system and to aid in the treatment of digestive disorders, kidney and bladder infections, and to cure diarrhea.
   
Emotional~    
        Clear Quartz acts as a deep soul cleanser, purifying and enhancing the vessel's internal structure and surrounding subtle bodies to bring the mind into a more relaxed and connected/open state. It brings attention to inner negativity and stimulates positive thoughts/feelings in the same moment. When the user has a more refined view of themselves and existence, Quartz increases awareness and clarity in thinking, and provides enhanced energy, perseverance and patience, teaching one to embrace their divinity with more ease.

Energy Centers~       
         Because Clear Quartz has the prismatic ability to vibrate its energy at all of the color frequencies, it not only harmonizes all of the chakras, but can teach us how to vibrate our seven chakra centers simultaneously while maintaining perfect alignment with the light.
        Clear Quartz is particularly useful for stimulating the Crown Chakra. The Crown Chakra's physical manifestation is the Pineal Gland, and is a main gateway to the expanded awareness beyond these vessels.

         Used in meditation, especially when placed at the Third Eye, Clear Quartz filters out distractions and helps to empty/calm the mind. It allows for a feeling of "oneness" and provides for a deep meditative state.
         By visualizing an image of one's intent or desired outcome within the crystal during a meditative session, it provides a powerful psychic amplification. The crystal "remembers" and magnifies the pattern of energy, so using the same crystal in repeated meditations allows for the opportunities and power of the focused intent to manifest into reality!!! Programming the Quartz in this manner assists one in achieving virtually any goal in inner or outer life.

CRYSTALS!!

!!Crystals!!

The Basics-

    First!! Crystals are organic beings, and should be viewed equivalent to each of us in their uniqueness, and each of them are significant. While we travel through many frequencies and vibrations, crystals normally embody a "specific" frequency(s), while the vibration is subject to change.

    Crystals are manifestations in physical form of specific frequencies. These frequencies will remain the same as long as the crystals are in a cleared and charged state.

    Charging crystals increases its vibration!!! Which would mean, how intensely you feel it(energy) or how quickly the attributes that the crystal is associated with, starts to take effect in your being.

    For me personally, crystals affect the vessel and awareness with more intensity when there is skin contact, and also depending on where that contact is as we have multiple energy centers in this body.

    Crystals come in many different formations. Depending on the formation, is how the energy will radiate off of the crystal. For example, a single terminated point, the energy will come out similar to a direct stream out of the tip.
*results may vary

    Also, im not into how crystals grow, or where, or how big. Im about the crystals' purpose; how it effect the physical vessel, the metaphysical bodies, emotional, which energy center(s) its associated with, and perhaps crystal combos that may prove to be synergistic.
