Black Obsidian
This volcanic glass is not only visually striking but also holds a powerful energy that can benefit your life in various ways. Let's explore the fascinating world of black obsidian energy together.
What is Black Obsidian?
Black obsidian is a natural glass formed from volcanic lava that cools rapidly. Its dark color comes from the presence of iron and magnesium in the lava. This crystal is known for its smooth, glossy appearance and sharp edges, making it a popular choice for jewelry and spiritual practices.
How Does Black Obsidian Energy Work?
Black obsidian is believed to have strong protective properties that can shield you from negative energies. It is often used for energetic protection, helping to absorb and deflect any harmful vibrations around you. This crystal is also associated with the root chakra, promoting stability and security in your life.
Black obsidian is also used in "shadow self" work. This crystal has the ability to reveal to you parts of yourself that are neglected, dismissed and unacknowledged.
If you are ready to delve deeper into your psyche, black obsidian can be a very helpful crystal to reveal to you those parts of ourselves that we have rejected subconsciously and help bring them to light. Often they can be qualities we have projected onto others.
Black obsidian does not work subtly. It shows us in plain sight what we have been avoiding or were simply totally unaware of previously. This is a big step towards spiritual growth as we can then see why these parts of ourselves were there in the first place and how they may have been protecting us from something.
I suggest pairing this crystal with rose quartz or any other pink stone, to enable you to harness the energy of self love and the ability to be soft with yourself and forgive yourself where necessary.
Ways to Harness Black Obsidian Energy
There are several ways you can incorporate black obsidian into your daily routine to benefit from its energy. You can wear black obsidian jewelry, place a piece of the crystal in your home or office, or simply meditate with it to connect with its grounding energy. By setting intentions and focusing on the crystal's energy, you can amplify its effects in your life.
Cleanse your black obsidian after wearing at the end of each day with either smoke, water or placing it deep in the earth overnight. You can recharge and replenish your black obsidian by placing it on selenite or sitting it out in the full sun.
The Healing Power of Black Obsidian
In addition to its protective properties, black obsidian is also known for its healing abilities. This crystal can help you release negative emotions, old traumas, and energy blockages, allowing you to move forward with a clear mind and heart. By working with black obsidian, you can experience a sense of renewal and empowerment in your life.
Overall, black obsidian is a powerful crystal that can support you on your spiritual journey and help you navigate life's challenges with strength and clarity. Whether you are looking for protection, grounding, or healing, black obsidian energy is here to guide you towards a more balanced and harmonious existence.
