Black Obsidian: A strongly protective stone, black obsidian forms a shield against negativity, providing a grounding cord from the base chakra to the center of the earth. It absorbs negative energies from the environment and blocks psychic attack and negative spiritual influences. Obsidian brings clarity to the mind and clears confusion and constricting beliefs but makes it absolutely clear what lies behind mental distress or disease. This shamanic stone removes disorder from the body and powerfully draws off negativity and repels curses. Grounding the soul and spiritual forces into the physical plane, Black Obsidian brings them under the direction of the conscious will. Black Obsidian forces facing up to one’s true Self, taking you deep into the subconscious mind, magnifying negative energies so that they can be fully experienced and released. This healing effect can work on the ancestral and family line. Reversing previous misuse of power, Black Obsidian addresses power issues on all levels.
