When the gemstone obsidian appears in your life, it can teach you how to make the best of a bad situation by clearing away all negative and self-defeating thoughts. By grounding one’s thinking in reality, we can begin to clear away mental chatter that is draining us energetically.

Do you have situations playing in your head that are not real? If so, obsidian can help you to distinguish reality from the mental tape that is playing in your head. First things first, Obsidian appears to help us reduce our fear-based responses. It can be used by people who have psychic abilities but who have shut them down when they felt overwhelmed or because they were not able to decipher the psychic information that they were receiving. All in all, Obsidian is an excellent stone for people who need to do some shadow work.

Perhaps you need support. Obsidian can come into your life to offer that support in a way that is grounded and stable. Assistance and help is always available to us. Obsidian can help us to overcome the victim mentality, be it in ourselves or in others.

Obsidian can be used as a helping stone to clear the mental body of patterns of past trauma. One must be willing to choose to take the journey into the darkness of the subconscious to recover and retrieve the lost and wounded parts of yourself.

Obsidian can open the third eye and create awareness of the aspects of us that are buried deep deep within the subconscious mind. If you have indulged in substance abuse due to a trauma that happened to you, Obsidian can help you to clear away your dependence on the substance that you are abusing. When we allow ourselves to become dependent on things and people, we end up harming ourselves. Recreational use is different from addiction. At the end of the day, however, know that a small indulgence possesses the potential to snowball out of control if you allow yourself to slip and fall.

Obsidian can help us to distinguish whether people actually mean us harm or whether we are simply having a fear-based response based on our past conditioning. The stone can reveal many secrets to you and in some cases even answer your biggest questions about love. If you are looking for love, Obsidian can show you who to stay away from.

Obsidian is not necessarily a stone of protection, even though it has been known to be used for that purpose. Rather, when obsidian comes into your life, it comes to clear the path so that you will stay away from situations you knew were not right for you in the first place.

If you have experienced a period of deep and dark depression due to circumstances outside of your control, obsidian can show you why you were unable to leave that situation. Perhaps it is your own negative mindset and past conditioning that kept you there. If you don’t want to be there, know that you can always leave. It may not happen overnight, but if we take small steps, we will be able to move on and move forward.

If you find yourself having inner visions that are prophetic, Obsidian can show you how to completely shut out the ones that you do not want to receive. It can remove fear surrounding opening one’s intuitive abilities. It can protect you from throwing out the good along with the bad.

All in all, Obsidian is an excellent shadow worker that can show you the truth about your own inner power.
