Green Tourmaline

Wearing a necklace of rounded Green Tourmaline gemstone crystals balances and empowers men by harmonizing the masculine and feminine aspects within them. It carries the masculine ray, which vitalizes the masculine aspect in all living beings. Green Tourmaline gives a man the strength, courage, and self-confidence he needs to realize his full potential. It broadens a man’s awareness as it strengthens every molecule in his body.

Masculine and feminine energies are fundamental components of life, and both must be present for life to exist. Like the color rays, masculine and feminine energies have gemstone carriers: Green Tourmaline carries the male energy, and Pink Tourmaline carries the female energy. These gemstones act as energy sources to keep each gender independent and strong.

Fundamental to an understanding of Green Tourmaline is that all men and women have and express both male and female energies. No man expresses 100 percent masculine energy; nor does a woman express solely feminine energy. For a man to be healthy and strong, he needs to have and express an appropriate balance of masculine and feminine energies.

The way energies flow in a man’s body differs in many respects from the way energies flow in a woman’s. Green Tourmaline resonates with the way energies flow in a male body, and it strengthens and uplifts the male flow. When a man wears Green Tourmaline, it maximizes the life force flowing through him.

Green Tourmaline also enhances the chakras’ abilities to receive and release energies, thereby making all energies required by the body, including color rays, more available to the body. Green Tourmaline helps strengthen and heal a man's endocrine and reproductive systems. Because the endocrine system regulates so many vital functions, his whole body naturally becomes stronger and more energetic.

Green Tourmaline promotes balance in the physical, emotional, and mental bodies. It does this by strengthening the weakest link in the chain. First, its energy fills a man’s aura and gathers information about all his bodies. Then it identifies and focuses its energy on the weakest area of his physical body. When the physical body has achieved a certain degree of balance, the Tourmaline’s energy moves to the weakest area of his emotional body and works there. Finally, it moves to the weakest part of his mental body. When the mental body has been brought to a certain degree of balance, the Tourmaline’s energy returns its focus to the physical body and starts the cycle again.

Each time the Green Tourmaline cycles through a man’s body, emotions, and mind, it takes each of them to a higher level of strength and healing. This process continues for as long as the Tourmaline is worn. Even after wearing Green Tourmaline for only a day, a man often feels physically stronger. If he continues to wear it, he will find himself becoming emotionally stronger and then mentally stronger.

Before the weakest link can be strengthened, it must be recognized. It takes courage to recognize one's weaknesses and to face them. Therefore, when a man first puts on Green Tourmaline, the Tourmaline’s initial response is to give a feeling of strength, courage, and self-confidence. This occurs as soon as Green Tourmaline touches a masculine aura.

Any man, even the healthiest on Earth, can benefit from wearing Green Tourmaline—because, as far as health is concerned, there is always another step to take. As a man attains greater health, his attention often turns away from his physical problems to encompass a greater understanding and awareness of himself and of life. This eventually leads to self-mastery. Before one can become a master of spirit, one must first master one's physical body, emotions, memory, mind, and intuition. Green Tourmaline helps a man achieve this mastery.

Green Tourmaline and Dark Green Aventurine

Although Green Tourmaline and Dark Green Aventurine both initiate physical healing, they are two different tools with two different actions. Some people’s conditions require force and power to be healed; others call for a gentler approach; and still others require a combination of the two. Green Tourmaline works with force and power. Compared to the power of Tourmaline, Aventurine's work is quite gentle.

Too much healing force and power can make some people virtually explode, especially if someone is already a pent-up dynamo of stress and tension. Such an individual would do better to wear Aventurine for several weeks before wearing Green Tourmaline. The Aventurine will help his cells begin the process of opening up and releasing their disharmonies.

However, if the pent-up person is also very weak, he can wear a short, lightweight necklace of Green Tourmaline, a longer necklace of Quartz, and an even longer necklace of Dark Green Aventurine. In someone who is both very weak and very tight, the forces of the two green gemstones will be balanced by the presence of the Quartz. The Aventurine will make the physical-healing changes while the Green Tourmaline gives the body strength.

Green Tourmaline and Women

In general, women should only wear a solid Green Tourmaline necklace for short periods. If a woman wore a necklace of Green Tourmaline for an extended period, her masculine nature could eventually overwhelm her feminine nature. One imbalance after another could manifest. Her emotional strength could be crushed, and eventually she could suffer from hormone imbalances.

However, it can be beneficial for a woman to bolster her masculine energy if she is experiencing a deficiency of such energy. Symptoms of such a deficiency can include difficulty asserting herself in the world; a sense that she is continually being put down, abused, or manipulated; or a perceived lack of feminine identity. Wearing a solid therapeutic Green Tourmaline necklace for a short period may help correct these imbalances.

Another example of a situation in which a woman can benefit from wearing Green Tourmaline is when she is training for or competing in an athletic event. The Green Tourmaline can help improve endurance and strength.

One of the most powerful and convenient ways to use a Green Tourmaline necklace is to wear it around your neck. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the necklace or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems. 

Special Therapies

You can also use Green Tourmaline for more focused treatments. The simplest treatment is to place it on a specific area of your body to focus its healing energies there. For example, you can curl up the necklace and place it on an ailing, injured, or painful area to accelerate the area’s recovery. 

Localized Tonic for Men

This Green Tourmaline therapy provides a tonic to a localized area of a man's body. A Green Tourmaline necklace is placed on any painful, injured, weakened, or otherwise disharmonious area to bring greater strength and harmony to the area. View instructions.

Hydrotherapy for Men

This therapy for men combines the energy of Green Tourmaline with water to strengthen and energize all the cells in a man's body. By submerging in bathwater that has been suffused with Green Tourmaline energy, a man's individual cells are infused with this energy. View instructions.

Therapy for Women

A woman whose masculine aspect is deficient or blocked wears a Green Tourmaline necklace for brief periods to strengthen her masculine expression and thereby restore the balance of her sexual energies.  This therapy is particularly beneficial for a woman who has trouble asserting herself or who is struggling with her sexual identity. View instructions.

Precaution for Women

To prevent energetic imbalances, women should wear a solid Green Tourmaline necklace for a maximum of several days a month.

Time Guidelines and Amount to Wear

Because of the intensity of Green Tourmaline’s effects, men should wear only one necklace of Green Tourmaline at a time. Some men may even find it uncomfortable to wear one necklace 24 hours a day. Some may want to wear it only during the day and not at night; for some, even this may be too much. If a man wears Green Tourmaline too long, he may experience a headache or some irritability. If this occurs, he should remove the Tourmaline as soon as he feels any discomfort. The next day, he should put the necklace back on for a short period, and then ease into wearing it regularly by gradually increasing the time he wears it each day.

No matter how many hours a day that a man wears Green Tourmaline, he must wear it every day. Only then will he experience Green Tourmaline’s greatest healing effects. After wearing a necklace of rounded Green Tourmaline daily for a month, the effects will be unmistakable.

Cleanse Green Tourmaline Regularly

To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of following methods to cleanse your Green Tourmaline necklace. Learn more about these methods.

Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches.

Salt Bed: 2 – 3 times a week, lay the gems in a half-inch of salt for at least an hour or overnight. Place a thin natural-fiber cloth between the salt and the gems.

Water Rinse: Rinse the gems daily for the first two weeks, then 2 – 3 times a week.

Sunbath: Every 1 - 2 weeks, lay the gems in sunlight for a maximum of 20 minutes at a time.

Caution: Avoid clay cleansing, which will dull polish.   

When Your Necklace First Arrives

When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.

For most gemstones, the therapeutic quality categories defined as Quality 1, 2, 3, 4,  etc., suffice to describe the quality of the gems in a particular necklace. However, for a handful of gemstones, gradients of quality exist within each therapeutic quality category. Green Tourmaline is one of these gemstones. This means that a particular Green Tourmaline necklace may be somewhat higher or lower in quality than the other necklaces in the same category. These variations are reflected in the price per carat of each necklace.
