Dravite Brown Tourmaline

Strong Grounding, Aids Self Acceptance

➤ By Liz Oakes

Dravite Tourmaline is the deep brown, very dark, almost black variety of Tourmaline.

Like Black Tourmaline has a strong grounding action and a calming, relaxing and reassuring effect on the body.

It helps you to have a deeper acceptance of yourself, especially those parts of yourself that you may not like and would rather did not exist. With acceptance comes the ability to move on with life.

Like other Tourmalines it has a quite soothing energy that helps you to come down from the higher planes and to make a stronger earth connection.

This crystal is deeply cleansing energetically and helps to grant you added stamina when you are going through onerous situations.

Why Would You Use It?

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. 

This brown crystal 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.

This may help you to accept old parts of yourself, and the way that you have handled a situation in the past, that you have been trying to ignore.

It has a quite peaceful and soothing energy which helps to keep you calm when life gets stressful and is also good to enhance your creativity.

Crystal Books

There are a now quite a few crystal books available, and so it is relatively easy to buy one that will help you to learn more about crystals, rocks and stones.

I have written reviews on some of my favorites, just to give you an idea whether a certain book will benefit you.

Some are bigger, much bigger like the Melody Encyclopedia, and I have to admit to thinking its one of the best on the market. 

But its not one to take with you as its very big and very heavy.  I love Judy Hall's books, and they are a good size too, not to heavy.

Its a good idea to get yourself one, if you are into crystals, and start with a basic one like The Crystal Bible.

If you are unsure about which crystal book to choose and need some help, before you buy one you may benefit from reading my book reviews then get yourself a crystal book!
