Black Tourmaline is a must-have for anyone working in healing professions. Those working with sick or mentally ill people will benefit as these people literally “suck” energy from you, if you are not protected. I am lucky that I discovered Black Tourmaline early in my nursing career - hospitals are full of negative, heavy energies, as well as entities that Black Tourmaline will protect you from. Hospitals are not the only places with negative energies - stressful environments and all workplaces are full of energies that you don’t want to bring home with you. Even if you don’t work in a stressful environment, Black Tourmaline helps to keep your own energies balanced and positive. Another reason you want to wear Black Tourmaline is for all its amazing health and healing properties.
