Have you worked with black tourmaline on your throat chakra? I hope you have, and if you haven't, today I want to share with you why this powerful, amazing crystal is a good crystal to at least consider when working to unblock your throat chakra, or when balancing your throat chakra, or dealing with communication issues. And keep this in mind: it's not always about using blue-colored crystals for your throat chakra matters.
There's always wisdom and intuition and personal guidance involved when working with spiritual tools, okay? So anyway, a few months ago I was guided to start using black tourmaline on my throat chakra, and this was specifically to help me with self-control in my communication with a specific individual who really doesn't like me, but who I usually have to deal with during the holiday season for the sake of keeping up appearances.
Which is something I really, really don't like to do, but it's something that I do. I struggle with this, and it really goes against everything that I stand for in terms of my own integrity, but it's something that I always keep doing and always feel like I have to do for the sake of the person that I really, really like, who this individual that doesn't like me is connected to. I tell you, the things we have to do for family sometimes, oh my gosh.
Anyway, this person absolutely does not like me, and I think it's like a comic thing because I don't even know where it comes from. But it's something for me to look at, because I can't really say it's that person. There's obviously a resonance between me and that person, but it's so deep, it's so unexplained, and it totally comes from left field. I mean, who hates Caroline? Who hates Caroline? But anyway, the truth of the matter is there's definitely something there to look at on my end.
And it's never about apportioning blame to another person. Sometimes people reflect things to us that we must heal, if that is the case, right? Anyway, I'm sure some of you can relate to how hard it is to play nicey-nice, to play goody-goody with people who you have to tolerate for the sake of those you love. I'm sure some of you can relate to these kinds of things. So anyhow, this is what happened over the holiday season.
I was feeling some kind of anxiety because I had to meet this person and I had to go through the process of tolerating this person because of this person that I love. And I had started feeling irritated and agitated just by the thought of hearing that person's voice, because I know how that person usually communicates with me, and I know how triggered I get by the way that person communicates with me, and how the potential for verbal aggression through my communication strategy sometimes comes out. And because of this, self-discipline on my part, and self-control, and just management of my beingness is usually required. And in all honesty, I really don't want to have these negative vibes in me, but it's just something that I keep struggling with, especially with this specific individual. I'm just telling you like it is, things are just what they are with this individual, at least for now.
And thankfully, the situation looks like it is now under control, and it is something that I no longer have to deal with going forward, which is great. So this is where black tourmaline as a powerful throat chakra crystal comes in. This crystal literally saved me from negative back-and-forth aggressive throat chakra communication. It literally, effectively stopped the negative energies to the point where I still can't believe that I'll never have to deal with this person again because the matter is now resolved.
I tell you, trust your crystals. When a crystal calls to you, trust it to know what you need at that specific time for your specific guidance about a particular issue. Let it not just be about the colors of crystals and which chakras they need to go on. Let it not be an intellectual, mental exercise. Let it not be about the things you have read in other books about how to work with your specific crystals.
Let it be about your inner guidance to use a specific crystal for a specific matter at a specific time. Okay? Crystals are teachers, and a different crystal from what you're used to may stand out to you to work with on a particular matter. If you hear that call, listen, and work with that specific crystal, because crystals are teachers of higher consciousness and they provide higher wisdom. So tune into them and trust your crystals.
Okay, so this is how my guidance to start working with black tourmaline on my throat chakra started. I attended a gem show, and at the gem show I was planning to buy other crystals. I wasn't even focusing on black tourmaline. I was looking for something else, because I have so many other black tourmaline palm stones and whatnot. But that specific day, as I was looking through the crystals, this specific beautiful heart-shaped black tourmaline crystal stood out to me, and I knew that I had to get it.
And so I got it without hesitation. You know that feeling when a crystal is calling you and you're just like, I don't even care how much it costs, I'm going home with this crystal? And that is what happened. So later on, after I had cleansed the crystal and I was tuning into it, it was obvious to me from the face of it that this crystal had a loving energy.
And I also knew that I was going to be wearing it as a pendant around my throat chakra. I knew that it was not a pendant that was going to hang around my heart chakra. I knew it was going to go around my throat chakra, and I also knew that this was the crystal that was going to support me with disciplining myself and controlling myself, and working through the harsh communication that was coming through my throat chakra, especially when I was interacting with this specific individual during the holidays.
And I'm telling you, this crystal was a lifesaver. It helped me really stop and assess myself and really see from my own perspective how I was personally contributing to this issue between me and this person, and what I really needed to look at within myself so that I could release this energy and no longer have anything in resonance with that person.
Nobody wants to be aggravated all the time by specific individuals or specific situations over and over again. And I personally know that if something is always happening, that I really need to stop and really see what is going on with me. And it's never about the other person, it's usually about me. So I gotta look at this thing, because that is what is being revealed, and this is how you do the inner work.
The inner work is never about finger-pointing, however bad that situation may be, or however wrong you may feel that that person is. The inner work is usually about you, and how you can really evolve through these uncomfortable situations and put yourself on the side where you are at peace, you're in balance, and you're in harmony. The job is ours to do. It's never about the other person. Okay, so now I can tell you from personal experience that this black tourmaline really supported me, because it helped me stop reacting aggressively and communicating explosively with this other person.
And it really helped me calm down and process my thoughts, and really, really monitor myself, to gauge myself and to ensure that how I was communicating with this individual was in the most loving and balanced way. Because, for a lot of us, it takes a lot of discipline and self-control when we have to keep dealing with repeat offenders. It's hard, man, but we do it. We do it.
So I believe that's good, right? Yeah, thank goodness for crystals, for real. Anywho, results is what usually matters to me. So the good thing that happened out of this whole situation is that this person now became unavailable to me. The person is now no longer in the picture, and this whole matter of me having to deal with this person is now resolved, because I've had to look into myself as well, to see what really was occurring in me to attract this kind of harshness from someone.
So I am glad that the matter is resolved on my end, as well as on that person's end, and so we don't even have to cross paths going forward, which is just, to me, beautiful. Bye, bye. So crystal lovers, tell me: have you ever worked with black tourmaline on your throat chakra? What results have you got? I want to know.
And if you haven't, I tell you, if you have a situation where the communication is not what it needs to be, especially as pertains to a specific individual or a specific situation, or creativity on any level, or just that ability to be authentic and true to yourself, and stop lying to yourself about who you are, especially in relationship with other people, and all this whole lying thing about being lovey-dovey about this or that, when you really know that some situation needs to be cleared out, work with black tourmaline. Black tourmaline keeps negativity away. That statement is the truth.
And until next time, crystal lovers, I love you, and stay on the up and up. Bye.
