How do I get my green tourmaline crystal to work?

There is no direct scientific evidence that green tourmaline healing properties have a direct impact on your mental or physical health. But green tourmaline is considered a powerfully energetic stone. And the cunningfolk of history have passed down rituals to make green tourmaline a valuable part of your spiritual practice.

Many cunningpeople empower their green tourmaline crystal or jewellery with an intention. To do this, decide what you would like your green tourmaline crystal or jewellery to help you accomplish. If you bought your green tourmaline crystal jewellery from Cunningfolk, it will be charged by the moonlight and sunlight. And primed to accept this intention. If you bought it elsewhere, you may want to cleanse and charge your crystal before you begin. (Check out how on our blog.)

Once your green tourmaline crystal or jewellery is cleansed and charged, sit with it in a quiet, peaceful room. Cup it in your hands. Meditate for a few minutes on what you would like it to help you with. Would you like to connect more directly with the earth and nature’s rhythm? Live in a more empathetic way? Shrug off the desires of others and live more closely aligned to your true self?

Keep your green tourmaline crystal or jewellery on or near your body, where you’ll see it often. Every time you glance at it, your intention will come to the forefront of your mind. And you’ll be reminded of your goals — with the help of your green tourmaline crystal jewellery, of course.
