Why Would You Use It

This brown variety of Tourmaline helps to bring the shadow side of yourself to your consciousness. This is the part of you that you may like to pretend does not exist, but that may need to be brought forward and dealt with.

This stone assists you to let go of any old emotional problems that it brings to your attention so you can deal with the issues instead of burying them and allowing them to fester. Dravite Tourmaline helps you to accept yourself, and it improves your self esteem, as it also helps you to love yourself.

Many of you may feel that it is exciting to work with stones that take you to the higher realms. This is easy to understand, as it is not only very interesting but it also brings spiritual growth, and often growth of psychic abilities. But if you work only in the higher realms, problems may be ignored... only to come out unexpectedly and be in your face because they have not been dealt with.

If you have found that your emotions sometimes get out of control over nothing, look at what the 'nothing' was. It may relate to an old issue you have not dealt with. This stone is good to help you to pull out those old issues and look at them, and accept the part of yourself, or the way that you have handled a sitaution in the past, that you have been trying to ignore.
