Black Tourmaline Placement: Where to Put It in Your Home

Strategic Black Tourmaline Placement for Maximum Protection

Where you place black tourmaline matters. Strategic placement creates powerful protection grids, shields entry points, and grounds your entire home. This comprehensive guide shows you exactly where to put black tourmaline for maximum effectiveness.

Protection Principles

Entry Points (Priority #1)

Why: Entry points are where energy (good and bad) enters your home. Protecting these creates the first line of defense.

Key entry points:

• Front door (most important)
• Back door
• Garage entrance
• Windows (especially ground floor)

Corners (Create Grid)

Why: Placing black tourmaline in corners creates an energetic grid that protects the entire space.

How it works: Energy flows between the four corner stones, creating a protective boundary.

High-Traffic Areas

Why: Areas where many people pass through accumulate energy. Black tourmaline keeps these spaces clear.

Personal Spaces

Why: Bedroom, office, and meditation spaces need protection and grounding for rest, work, and spiritual practice.

Room-by-Room Placement Guide

Front Entrance/Foyer

Primary placement: Near or on either side of front door

Why it's critical:

• First point of entry for all energy
• Filters what comes into your home

How to place:

Living Room

Primary placement: Four corners of room

Why:

• Family gathering space needs harmonious energy
• Protects from arguments and conflict
• Grounds social energy
• Creates safe, comfortable atmosphere

How to place:

• One black tourmaline in each corner (creates grid)
• Can be hidden behind furniture
• Or displayed on shelves in corners
• Activate by visualizing energy connecting all four

Additional placement:

Bedroom

Primary placement: Four corners OR under bed corners

Why:
