Black Tourmaline is excellent for grounding and aligning our energies when they are compromised. In my experience it is the most effective crystal for protection. It protects the energy field from all unwanted influences. Whether you are going into a challenging situation, working daily in stressful conditions, living surrounded by busyness with little contact with nature to help you align, dealing with unpleasant people, exposed to toxic energies from environmental pollutants, black tourmaline can be an excellent ally.

Black Tourmaline can also help to ground your own negative emotions and thoughtforms, so it is ideal to use if you are angry, anxious, or feeling low due to internal criticism. It can also be very helpful following travel, to ground you into the new place you find yourself in.

Wear in jewellery, or carry with you. Have a piece on or by your mobile phone to help protect from harmful radiation.

Carnelian is a variety of quartz, sometimes called Orange Agate, which ranges from pale peachy orange to deep brown-orange.

It carries the combined energies of Earth and Fire, and is warming and energising. It enhances creativity on all levels, and has a particular affinity with the sacral chakra. It can help us to connect with ancestral wisdom held deep within Mother Earth. It supports women to be strong, creative, confident, and in touch with their true feminine power, and helps men to know and understand the deep ancient wisdom of the Divine Feminine within themselves, the women around them, and the Earth.

Clear or colourless quartz can be totally transparent and glass-like, or have beautiful internal patterns and rainbows. It brings clarity, balance, alignment & harmony. It activates all systems of the body & all levels of consciousness.

For some people it can help to increase vitality when they lack energy or feel low; for others it can bring calmness and a feeling of wellbeing. It clears blockages & limitations at all levels of Being, protects against unwanted energies, increases awareness & promotes spiritual growth. It amplifies thought-forms, prayers & the effects of all other crystals, & can focus & enhance other forms of healing.
