“The Enlightened Communicator”

ENERGY: Melodic, Considered, Empowering
FOCUS: Express authentic intentions with clarity & tranquility / Express higher mind thoughts

Light blue and aqua-colored stones resonate with the throat chakra but they do a lot more than just optimize our verbal speaking abilities. Expression is not just what we say out loud using our voice, but rather how we energetically communicate and project our essence. Our lives reflect the energy we emit, so when we operate in alignment with our authenticity, that is mirrored back to us by all the positive things we manifest. We are all here to experience fulfillment by living out our soul purpose. Many of us have become so disconnected from our higher-self and its needs that we don't know what our soul's purpose is or even who we actually are. As a result, our lives feel like they are happening to us rather than with our participation. These stones connect us with who we are at our core so that we can translate that through our ways of being. They support the open and free communication of one’s higher-self, ensuring that all our endeavors are rooted in heart-centered and truthful expression. They are particularly useful for artists and creative types when experiencing creative blocks. They are also excellent for healing spaces, for instance in a therapist's office. The energy of these stones is peaceful, gentle, cooling, watery, unrestricted, serene, reflective, honest, relaxing, and calming.

“The Filter”

ENERGY: Grounding, Protective, Cleansing, Releasing, Active
FOCUS: Neutralizes internal negative energy, redirects it from external influences / Establishes energetic barriers
USE FOR: If drained, attacked, or impacted by the effects of toxic energy / energetic detox / reducing neurosis/protection from unwanted energetic influences

Black Tourmaline, with its vertical striations, channels and moves energy at a very rapid pace. Unlike quartz, tourmalines do not absorb energy (imagine quartz as sponges and tourmalines as straws). When they come into contact with negative energy they filter it and transform it back to a neutral frequency. Tourmalines direct energy from one source to another, which is why the black variety (schorl) is a very efficient and powerful stone for removing negative energy from one’s auric fields or physical environment (pair with quartz so excess energy can be dissolved). Black Tourmaline is known as a protective stone because not only does it rid you of any toxic vibrations that you are producing or holding on to, but if you come into contact with them through external interaction with an individual or space, this crystal acts as a shield by deflecting this energy away from you.
