STUDY SYNOPSIS:
Fueling with vast power and fierce energy, Black Obsidian forms an extremely protective shield around the user eliminating negative energies in oneself and one’s environment. Black Obsidian is referred to as Volcanic Glass that has no Crystalline Structure, formed by lava erupting from a volcano and quickly cooling with minimal crystal growth. Black Obsidian stimulates the Root Chakra, connecting one with a grounding cord from the Root Chakra to the Earthstar Chakra (located below the feet), this helps with grounding feelings of envy, resentment, and jealousy.
Additionally, Black Obsidian magnifies negative energies taking one deep into the subconscious mind; this healing effect can help bring one’s Shadow Emotions out of exile, allowing the emotions to be purified through the heart chakra. When one embraces shadow emotions and agrees to release the emotion, it impacts one’s spiritual, mental, and physical health (Shadow Emotions includes the following: Rage, Spitefulness, Jealousy, Distressed Neediness, Anxieties, Cynicism, Bitterness, Self-pity, Resentment, and Despair.) Black Obsidian helps to release Shadow Emotions allowing one to discharge the intense energies behind certain emotions, giving the individual greater regulation and self-control over their thoughts, without being overtaken by the “bottled-up emotions. When one has “unprocessed” Shadow Emotions they are reflected back to the user through individuals that surround one’s everyday life, these emotions are mirrored back until the user can identify the fault within themselves. Holding Black Obsidian while writing poetry, singing a song, or acting out any expression of your inner feelings helps the user to release any shadow emotions and integrate them into the conscious mind for healing and understanding. Black Obsidian was used by the Aztecs and Ancient people for artillery and scrying purposes. If at times Obsidian’s magnifying properties are too potent, use Rose Quarts and/or Selenite to rebalance the chakra meridians.
