Obsidian

---

Obsidian is a powerful volcanic glass formed from molten lava. Spiritually, it’s known as the Stone of Truth and Protection, helping you confront the darkness — both within yourself and in your surroundings — while shielding you from harm.

• Psychic Protection — blocks negative energy and psychic attack
• Emotional Detox — clears deep-rooted fears, anger, and shame
• Truth-Telling — brings unconscious patterns to the surface
• Shadow Work — helps confront and integrate hidden aspects of self
• Grounding & Centering — aligns spirit with the Earth

💡 Obsidian is intense. It doesn’t sugar-coat. It reveals what’s ready to be healed and helps you stand in your authentic, unfiltered power.

Wearing Obsidian is like having a spiritual bodyguard and therapist wrapped into one. It shields while it heals — but you have to be willing to face the truth.

Emotional & Energetic Effects:

• Protects your energy field from toxic people and environments
• Cuts through lies, denial, and illusions
• Helps release addictive behaviors, attachments, and self-sabotage
• Offers support through grief, rage, or trauma-processing
• Restores personal sovereignty and self-respect

Behavior Shifts You Might Notice:

• You begin seeing things more clearly (in others and in yourself)
• You’re less reactive and more reflective
• You may feel emotional intensity rise before it clears — Obsidian brings things up to be healed
• You naturally set firmer boundaries and say “no” more easily

Primary Chakra: 🌱 Root Chakra

• Location: Base of the spine
• Element: Earth
• Color: Deep black or red

Obsidian’s main focus is grounding and safety, especially if you’ve been emotionally or energetically “ungrounded.” It also works with:

💡 Use grounding rituals (breathwork, nature, salt baths) to stay balanced while working with it.

It helps you:

• Cut through illusions
• Stand in your truth
• Cleanse and protect your energy
• Become emotionally and spiritually resilient

If you're ready to face yourself, protect your space, and step into raw power — Obsidian is your spiritual sword and shield.
