The energy of tourmaline relates to each of the chakras. It acts to clear, to maintain, and to stimulate each of teh energy centers of the body.

It can be used to attract inspiration, to diminish fear by promoting understanding, and to encourage self-confidence. it provides for a balancing of the male/female energie withing hte body. It further provides for balancing of the mind, of the energy centres, and of the auric body, inducing the alignment of the mental processes and the chakras with the ethereal structure.

The tourmaline and the inherent electrical emanations have been revered throughout the life of the planet. in rituals performed in teh ancient eastern indian culture, the tourmaline was used to provide direction towards that which would bring 'good'. it was also recognised as a "teller"stone, providing insight during times of struggle and "telling"who and/or what is causing trouble.

It has been used by shamen among the african, native american, and aboriginal tribes. It is thought to bring healing powers to the user and to provide protection from all dangers occurring on the physical plane. The african shamen have used the tourmaline to promote the awakening from the "dream of illusion" and to promote the experience of the self as a part of the universal spirit.

Tourmaline has been used to stimulate balance between the left and right sides of the brain and to enhance cooperative efforts in the area of creativity and healing. It further helps one to look withing the depths of ones being with as much belief in the realilty of the inner world as one maintains for the outer world. It helps one to release the concept of being the victim and to maintain fortitude and laughter while retaining consciousness.

Tourmaline wands are quite special with respect to providing complete directional aspects to the qualities present within the structure. The crystals which are wands are terminated and range from two to three (plus) inches in length, with a diameter from 1/4 to 1/2" plus. The aspects of the tourmaline are enhanced in the wand configuration and are used to clear teh aura, to energise the appropriate chakras, to balance the meridians of the physical body, and to facilitate the optimum balance inherent in the ethereal body. The wand clearly directs the energy to facilitate the actualization of positive patterns and to initiate the fruition of positive affirmations.
