Obsidian is a strongly protective stone, forming a shield against
negativity. It grounds you to the earth through the base chakra,
absorbs negative energies from the environment, and strengthens
you in times of need. It is helpful to highly sensitive people. It blocks
psychic attack and removes negative spiritual influences.
A large piece of obsidian can be extremely efficient at blocking
geopathic stress or soaking up environmental pollution, but its
tendency to exposing the truth has to be taken into account. It is
helpful for therapists and counsellors as it not only helps to get to the
core of a problem, but it clears the negative energies that are
released. Black or mahogany obsidian are suitable for this purpose.
Place obsidian by your bed or under the pillow to draw out mental
stress and tension, it may have a calming effect but it will also
highlight the cause of the stress. The cause must be redressed before
peace can return, this will resolve the problem permanently rather
than just having a palliative effect. Apache tears or snowflake obsidian
would be best for this task. It is essential to clean the stone under
running water each time it has been used so that the stone won't
retain the negative energy and send it back to you.
Obsidian vitalises the purpose of the soul. It eliminates energy blocks
and relieves tension. Obsidian anchors the spirit into the body. This
stone stimulates growth on all levels. It urges you to explore the
unknown there by opening up new horizons for you to explore.
Obsidian brings clarity to the mind and clears confusion and restricting
belief systems. It may do this by making it absolutely clear to you what
lies behind the mental distress or disease. Once the confusion and
belief systems have been cleared obsidian expands your
consciousness and helps you enter the realm of the unknown with
confidence and ease.
Obsidian helps you to understand who you truly are and not who you
think you are, it will help to integrate these two perceptions into a
whole. This stone helps you identify behavioural patterns that are
outdated and assists in clearing them. Obsidian dissolves emotional
blockages and ancient traumas, bringing a depth and clarity to the
emotions. It promotes compassion and strength.
