Fear is a natural, instinctual response. Fear in its purest form alerts us to danger and can trigger heightened senses and responses.
However, a sense of generalized fear or anxiety or ongoing fear of things that are not life threatening can cause you to feel stuck in place, unable to move forward on your path.
Black Tourmaline is an excellent stone to use when working with generalized fear and anxiety. It helps calm the root chakra and absorbs and transmutes negative energy. It’s a wonderful stone to wear or carry throughout the day.
