Empowering Your Energy: Mastering the Art of Charging Black Tourmaline
Charging black tourmaline, a popular crystal used for protection and grounding, can be done in several ways. Here are some common methods:
-
Sunlight: Place the black tourmaline in direct sunlight for a few hours. Sunlight is a powerful energy source that can cleanse and charge the crystal. However, it's important to not leave it in the sun for too long, as prolonged exposure can fade the color of the stone.
-
Moonlight: Many people prefer charging crystals like black tourmaline under the light of the full moon. This method is gentle and is believed to imbue the crystal with a more subtle energy. Simply place the stone outside or on a windowsill during a full moon night.
-
Earth Charging: Burying the black tourmaline in the earth for a day or two allows it to reconnect with the earth and cleanse its energy. This method is particularly resonant for grounding stones like tourmaline.
-
Running Water: Holding the crystal under running water (like a stream or even tap water) can also cleanse and charge it. The water should be cool or lukewarm, not hot.
-
Other Crystals: Some crystals, like selenite or clear quartz, are believed to have the ability to charge other stones. Placing black tourmaline near or on top of these crystals can charge it.
-
Sound: Using sound vibrations from singing bowls, bells, or even chanting can cleanse and charge crystals. The vibrations help in resetting the crystal’s energy.
Remember, the intention behind the charging process is also important. Before charging your black tourmaline, set a clear intention for what you want to achieve with the crystal. This helps to align the crystal’s energy with your own.
