Black Tourmaline

Black Tourmaline: Purification, protection. Element:Earth. Chakras:Base.  We have been working a great deal with the combination of Azeztulite and Rosophia in our meditations, and we think of it as an ideal pairing to aid us in awakening the New Consciousness and the Activity of Blessing. Recently we discovered, right here in Vermont, a small deposit of stones which seems to offer a natural combination of the qualities of both Rosophia and Azeztulite. Chemically, it appears to be a granitic mixture of pink feldspar, white quartz and black biotite. Because it embodies the love energies emanating up from the Earth, as well as the Divine Light descending from the heavenly realms, we have given it the name Terraluminite, meaning 'the Light of the Earth.'

Robert Simons writes: When I held a piece of the Terraluminite at my third eye chakra and another at the heart, I felt an immediate and pleasant sensation of energy currents filling and linking those two chakras. As I continued, I sensed the nurturing flow moving out from my core, through my torso, and then filling the arms and legs and continuing into the hands and feet. I had the clear feeling that the channels along which the currents flowed were the meridians as known in qi gong and acupuncture. The experience felt as though the entire system was being cleansed, charged and integrated, with a deeply healing and loving vibration.

Terraluminite fills the third eye and crown chakras with deep pulsations that are pleasurable as well as opening. In me, they brought about surges of Light and vibration, entering the third eye and moving up through the crown in a rhythm that reminded me of pistons firing - baboom. These stones can bring strong beneficial energies to any chakra where they are placed. They speak of themselves in my meditations with them as stones of Light Body Awakening. 'I am struck by their apparent synthesis of the vibratory qualities of Azeztulite and Rosophia that appear in Teraluminite. When I work with Azeztulite and Rosophia together, I experience the archetypally 'masculine' currents of Divine Light moving in from above, while the 'feminine' currents of the Earth's love well up from below. These two streams meet and join in the heart, bringing about a subtle but ecstatic loveunion of the Heavenly Light and Earthly Love. The experience of attuning to Terraluminite is much like that which I feel from Azeztulite and Rosophia stones combined.

In inner alchemy, one of the important stages is that of conjunction. In old texts, it is often depicted as lovemaking between the Sun and Moon. Once again, this can be compared to the meeting of masculine and feminine spiritual energies when we work with Azeztulite and Rosophia. The fruit of the conjunction was believed to be the birth of the Divine Child, which was actually the birth of a new consciousness - a new self - within the alchemical practitioner. This feeling of the birth of a new self - a self of deeper spiritual awareness and much greater wholeness - is engendered by the currents of Terraluminite. This experience of the Light of the Earth can easily be related to the feeling of rebirth which is associated with the alchemical Divine Child.

As I continued working with Terraluminite, I placed two stones on my forehead, one at each temple. The currents from the stones moved into the head and met one another deep in the center of the brain. I experienced a feeling of spaciousness and Light within the brain. I heard inwardly, 'The interior of the skull becomes a Holy Temple when the Light of the Earth enters.' The feeling that one's own brain/mind is suddenly filled with a Divine atmosphere is one of the characteristic effects of Terraluminite. 'On other levels, Terraluminite offers itself as a healing balm for balancing and integrating all the organs, the circulatory system, the nervous system, the chakras and the meridian system. It stimulates the coherence of the Liquid Crystal Body Matrix, enhancing the intercommunication of all layers of the self, from the most subtle dimensions of the Light Body to the densest bone tissues.

Terraluminite's currents can facilitate deep healing of the emotional body. It soothes the 'pain body,' which carries memories of past wounds and fears. It encourages letting go of inner tension and it reminds us that we are all swimming in an ocean of Divine love.

Terraluminite is a wonderful stone for the heart and the heart chakra. It strengthens Heart Awareness, and it charges the connection via which the mind becomes aware of the 'thought of the heart.' It vivifies the 'image language' by which the heart communicates, and it opens the gates of pleasure which we feel when the heart and brain operate as one.

Terraluminite harmonizes first and foremost with Rosophia, and with all varieties of Azeztulite. It can be augmented in its awakening of the brain/mind centers by combining it with Phenacite, Herderite and Natrolite. It resonates powerfully with Morganite and most other heart stones. Master Shamanite can add important grounding and protective energies to the blissful awakened state brought about through inner work with Terraluminite.
