Have you ever come home – or entered a room and all of sudden you feel tired, irritable, funky, tired, drained of energy? Next thing you know you’re in energetic “yuck n’ stuck”. It’s like quicksand. And that led you here, looking for that negative energy crystal…
We’re Electrical Beings
See, we are made of energy (not just a physical body) but energy within and even subtle energy without (Electromagnetic Frequencies/EMF).
Our bodies run on energy: we are electrical beings; we have an electrically-generated cardiovascular system.
Think about it from a strictly biological point of view; our hearts, our muscles, our brains – electrical. There’s a measurable electrical charge on the surface of every healthy cell in our body!
And then we, as energy, interface with all sorts of other energy: other being’s energy… and then we have all the unnatural EMF’s we’re surrounded by:
- cell phone towers
- wi-fi
- 5G
- baby monitors
- of course, our devices
OK, so besides trying to minimize your exposure:
What can you do when you’re stuck in a situation that you’re perceiving as negative, and you want to transmute that feeling, neutralize it – from an energetic standpoint?
[Because that negative-energy-downward-spiral can be pretty powerful! It can be like a domino effect and throw all our spiritual practices to the wind!]
Well, I’ve got some effective negative energy crystal advice to help pull you out of that yuck and stuck swamp.
You may view yourself as a physical body — but your entire body (and beyond) is pure energy.
How that body interacts with other types of energy, whether it be solar energy, cosmic gamma rays, the food you eat, electrical, 5G, or energy from our crystals… how it interfaces with all these frequencies — that’s the key to your balance, how you feel.
In all ways.
My first thing to do is to remember: I have total control over HOW I perceive things.
This doesn’t mean that I always succeed; it just means that I try to remind myself to stay in that mindset — and then to remember that this is all my perception. My reality is what I’m choosing to perceive, so I can choose to try to focus on something else or to perceive the situation differently. Perhaps see the lessons or opportunities in it. These are things all within my control!
Yours too.
Purification, neutralizing, and transmuting the energy you’re interfacing with are the goals here. Right?
Black Tourmaline
Black tourmaline: I consider tourmaline crystals, in general, to be some of the most powerful and potent crystals to work with. Because of its specific scientific properties (pyroelectricity + piezoelectricity); it has the ability to polarize itself just like a battery.
So, due to those properties I just mentioned, it can polarize electricity and the energy within it.
It purifies and transmutes energies.
Black tourmaline is also ferromagnetic (meaning it contains iron and is magnetically attractive) – making it ideal for being protective against EMF, even being used in electromagnetic shielding.
What’s electromagnetic shielding? That’s a protective shield used in various tech which incorporates ferromagnetic material to protect various objects and devices from EM frequencies.
GEO GEEK ALERT: If you really want to geek out on this, check out this peer-reviewed scientific published paper on “Incorporating Strong Polarity Minerals of Tourmaline with Carbon Nanotubes to Improve the Electrical and Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Properties” BAM!
So if we can do that — it stands to reason that we’d go that route with crystal energy as well. Right?
Here’s a great video demo of black tourm. doing its thing here:
It is minimal BUT… its effects on energies are highly amplified!
We’ve already established that Black tourmaline is very good at transmuting energy, so if energy has a specific charge to it and it has a negative feel to it, black tourmaline is your go-to transmuter. It’s excellent for bringing that energy back to neutral.
For that reason, it’s always in front of me between me and my laptop. I’m transmuting that electromagnetic radiation coming off of the laptop. I’ve tested other crystals and things and when I tested black tourmaline, I get good results. It’s not the best thing. It’s not going to completely mitigate that energy, but it’s one thing I can do to help minimize it.
Tourmaline Grid
You may already know — I ALWAYS grid my home property with four large chunky black tourmalines buried at the four major corners of the home, then activate the grid in my mind’s eye. Highly effective!
I also like this stone for transmuting negative energy that PEOPLE might bring into a space.
When I used to work in a classroom, which I left in 2012… some people would come into the room and they were just a sheer joy — and then some would come into the room and they’d suck the energy out of the space. Talk about energy vampires! You know the feeling, right?
There weren’t too many of those thankfully, but the black tourmaline was wonderful for that. I had them conspicuously placed throughout my space.
Smokey Quartz
Smokey Quartz is naturally irradiated from gamma-rays in the Earth released from various naturally decaying elements (radioactive elements like uranium – this is natural radiation that happens very slowly over time) creating all-natural smokey quartz.
I will ONLY use natural smokey and never that lab-irradiated kind. (What a difference between natural and lab-irradiated specimens!) …
Smokey Quartz is wonderful for detoxifying as well as purifying energy and transmuting anything that we perceive as negative.
It’s great for getting in and digging out then ridding us of anything that’s sunk in and stuck into your auric field.
We don’t want it to fester, becoming denser and going deeper and deeper to where it ends up manifesting in your physical body as some kind of physical ailment.
Perfect Combo
So, a combo of these two (black tourmaline + smokey quartz), having both of them together, maybe even, in a bracelet is very practical and also for added benefit serves as a mental touchpoint, a reminder to control your thoughts while it helps you along energetically too.
Smokey Quartz + Black Tourmaline = Powerful Combo
OR you could even place your crystal in a little pouch, a mojo kit, and carry it around with you if you like; in a backpack or a purse or something like that. Throw some lavender, sweetgrass, maybe frankincense tears in there too! Highly protective.
If you’re a lightworker, even doing just distance healings; it’s a good idea to simply hold either or both of these stones after perhaps working with or on clients all day.
Please tell me in the comments below what you think about my negativity-busting crystal picks. There are also lots of other things you can do, like create an energetic shield of protection. These are just my TOP TWO crystals for this purpose. I know there are lots of other choices.
Please do tell us about your fav’s below!
Tons of love to you and many Crystal Blessings,
I’ve been hearing a lot about black opal as a protective crystal/stone. It’s really beige and brown in appearance. Have you heard of this stone as a more gentle protective crystal/stone to have in ones environment? Thank you.
Hey Margie, it’s super expensive too! But it really shouldn’t be beige and brown but instead quite colorful! With lots of color flash. I feel white opal is more gentle.
Hello,
I need urgent help in regards to protection / crystals etc. My question is kind of off the crystal subject but related to protection. Used Rail Road Iron Spikes are they protective for every negative energy or only some? What about an Iron ring? I have some strange occurances happening – though they’ve lessened ever since I’ve hammered rail road spikes outside my property and worn the ring but something is off. Is there a way to chat with you about my problem?
Very informative as always. I just received a piece of smoky quartz cluster and I do have a small piece of black tourmaline. They are currently in my bedroom where I spend a lot of time on my cell phone.
Thank you so much for your blogs and you tube videos!
Thanks Claudia! Glad you found this helpful. ♥
I have several pieces of black tourmaline. One of them is large and I use it as a palm stone whenever I feel negativity around me. I ask for it to remove negative energy both outside and within me. I ground myself at the same time with a palm stone of hematite in my other hand. They never fail me.
Thank you for the knowledge you give us each day. Appreciate it and am ever grateful.
Ahhhhh! Black tourmaline is a FAVE!
When I do distance healings, I grid around me and under my chair. I always have a big chunk of black tourmaline under my root chakra, so I can connect to Gaia’s core and be protected as I send healing.
I also wear a chunk in my bra when I need extra grounding and protection…
I know I’m not alone ????????
I do like smokey quartz too, its energy feels very refined to me and I use it often in terminal illness/hospice type work.
I love you, Hibiscus Moon, for being the amazing crystal educator/priestess you are!!
Keep on ROCKIN’!
Good idea to do that, Jeanne! I love you too, Babe. ♥
So positive, Jeanne! Thanks for sharing!!! ♥
HI, timely as always..
I chose to wear a tourmaline pendant and Lapis earrings today for protection and clarity of communication. My office and home are filled with Smokey specimens and clusters. As a former Electronic and communications engineer, I really appreciate the scientific data you are providing.
There is a lot of talk lately about the use of Shungite for emf protection. Shungite and Ferrite have been successfully used in electronics for many years. It is not a crystal, it is a non-crystalline mineraloid consisting of more than 98 weight percent of carbon. Shungite can absorb, and dissipate RF emissions, like a sponge absorbs water. A lot of energy can be dissipated with the mineral so I guess, in that it facilitates the change of radio (and other) frequencies from spurious to grounded, the energy transference is quite real and measurable. I use Shungite as it has been proven adequately through my experience and research.
Thanks for sharing all of that Tonie! I would love to hear your take on my shungite blog here: https://hibiscusmoon.com/shungite/
Speak Geeky to me! 😉
I have fluorite and I find that helps with EMF. I didn’t know black tourmaline did that till reading this article. I’m surprised no one else uses fluorite for EMF.
Lydia, I just discovered recently that fluorite protects from EMFS! I love fluorite, and have for years! I am so happy to find out this protective quality, also !! It need some pendants, and am looking for them now!????
Penny from AZ!
Hi, I too have been working with Shungite because it feels so nice to hold. I have been placing it on a tumour I have in my leg. The doctors told me this wouldn’t go away but the shungite stone has definitely caused it to shrink. I am happy about this.
You are amazing. Having a bad day with an energy drain I will definitely be reaching to mt black tourmaline and smokey quartz tonight. Thanks.
So are you, Alison! ((HUGS)) Hope this helps!
Is it true you should not wear black tourmaline in your bar or as a pendant ? I have heard t will shut down chakras or something like that.
Thank you so very much for sharing all of your wonderful knowledge and insights.
Terri, I’ve heard that about black obsidian before but not for black tourmaline. Experiment it for yourself but I certainly do not find that to be true.
I have the Black tourmaline I wear on a chain
I heard Garnets repeal negative energies is this true?
Garnet is my Birthstone for 1-08
Hi! Any crystals that help with panick attacks????????
Love the idea of combining Smoky and tourmaline. Do you think it would be too grounding for some?
Question! For crystals like Black Tourmaline than block EMF, can they absorb the radiation to the point of needing to be cleansed? In other words, can they become “full” after sitting by my wifi router for a year and not be effective anymore? And if so, any suggestions of how to do that?
Would you reccomend reputable online shops where we can purchase these crystals? My go to is Amazon at the moment.
I have no stake in the company. Consider looking into Earth Family Crystals. I’ve never had a bad experiance with them, and I’ve purchased many beautiful and useful stones from them.
I’d check on Instagram, theres a shop Sage Crystal’s that I ADORE. There are many,many on Instagram.
I really enjoyed your narative. Although I’m a newbie to crystal awareness, I have been struggling with intense negativity since the beginnings of the pandemic. I’ve have loved the stone tourmaline since I visited Maine (US) where it’s mined. I suppose it’s mined elsewhere too. I did not know about its properties or color black; I generally see it pink or green. I intend to now buy some and copy your practise of burying it on my property. Hopefully it will help and I’ll look for some smokey quartz too. Thank you for your insight.
To clarify about gridding your house outdoors – does it matter if you bury the stones close to the house or further out at the property lines? Thank you! 🙂
Great article and suggestions!
Smokey Quartz and Black Tourmaline, alone or together, they are just fantastic to suck up gunk!
The healing properties of this crystal are unique among the other crystals that are available and are found in abundance by the benevolence of Mother Nature.
Yes, they are brilliant for protection
Love your work
I love black tourmaline to help out, I’ll try out the smoky quartz now didn’t know it helped as well, thanks for the information, i find your blogs so helpful
Great article and demo which I’ve seen before. I also use shungite as I find this helps too, I also have shungite in my water, so hopefully I’m ‘carrying’ it around physically as well. I would love to see the same demo with shungite.
This is my first time watching you… recommended by my sister in law! You shared about negative toxic people … how do you recommend placement in an office setting for negative coworkers. Thanks
I love that smokey crystal picture, what a specimen. We are constantly bombarded by different energies every day and I love hearing about how these crystals can help us stay positive!
What an awesome and informative blog. I just love them and especially there healing properties are very effective.
I am so grateful for all of your blog posts! You’ve helped validate my natural instincts with crystals and I’m so grateful to finally be taking your CCP course. Thank you for being you!
