Tourmaline and Selenite

• Grounding 
• Centering 
• Protecting 
• Releasing 
• Balancing

Tourmaline initially stepped forward for this month’s crystal, but then it became obvious that it needed to be paired with something else and combining it with Selenite creates the ultimate balancing, grounding, centering, releasing and protecting pair.

Black Tourmaline (Schorl) is one of the best grounding and protecting stones, connecting us to the Earth and shielding the aura from electromagnetic disturbance, psychic attack and ill-wishing. It will ground and protect a space and can be placed in windowsills, corners of a room, by wi-fi, computers etc. (Dowse or intuit what is appropriate for you and your circumstances). It connects to the Base Chakra where it destresses, grounds and stimulates lifeforce energy.

Mentally, Black Tourmaline helps to clear negative thoughts bringing objectivity and a more laid-back attitude. Both Tourmaline and Selenite work quickly.

Selenite brings pure light and helps to banish darkness and shadows. It is incredibly calming and peaceful, but hugely energetic and empowering at the same time. Also protective, it brings light to a room or space and can be used to negate the energies of electronics and to protect a space. It is excellent at helping to shift blocked emotions, replacing them with its cooling energy and bringing clarity of mind.

Because of the light it brings, it often pairs well with dark stones, try it with Ancestralite, Shungite, Tourmaline or Obsidian. With the grounding, earthly stones, it can help to bring a balance of Spirit and Earth energies.

Selenite balances Tourmaline with its light and spiritual energies, which can also calm and bring a feeling of peace.

Combining Black Tourmaline and Selenite can release stagnant emotions and help us to find a centred and grounded place within ourselves, where our own truth can be found, and to help us to accept that truth without feeling conflicted, pressured or afraid to upset others.

The pairing is also representational of the divisions within society that have been rampant in the last few months, surfacing in various forms and can help us to find our own truth.
