IZVOR

Meksiko i sirom sveta

OSOBINE Opsidijan je rastopljena lava, koja se toliko brzo ohladila da nije imala
vremena da se kristalizuje.Opsidijan je kamen bez granica i ogranicenja.Posledica
toga je da deluje ekstremno brzo veoma velikom snagom.Njegove reflektivne
osobine, koje podsticu istinu, nemilosrdne su u otkrivanju mana, slabosti i
blokada.Nista ne moze da se sakrije od opsidijana.Ukazujuci na to kako da
ublazimo sve destruktivne i obesnazujuce uslove, obsidijan nas tera da rastemo i
daje nam cvrstu podrsku dok to radimo.Njime treba pazljivo rukovati i najbolje je
koristiti ga pod nadzoromkvalifikovanog terapeuta, zato sto moze da izvuce na
povrsinu negativne emocije i neprijatne istine.Pod vestim nadzorom, njegove
prociscavajuce osobine su izvanredno dragocene.Pruza duboko isceljenje
duse.Opsidijan moze da olaksa vracanje u prosle zivote kako bi se iscelile gorke
emocijeili traume, koje su ponete napred, u sadasnjost.

Opsidijan je kamen koji pruza snaznu zastitu, obrazujuci stit protiv

negativnosti.Stvara uzemljujucu vrpcu iz donje zemaljske cakre do centra zemlje,
upija negativnu energiju iz okruzenja i da je snagu u trenutcima kad je
potrebna.Koristan je za narocito oetljive ljude.Blokira natculne napade i otklanja
negativne spiritualne uticaje.Krupan koman opsidijana moze da bude izuzetno
koristan za blokiranje geopatogenog zracenja ili za upijanje ekolosih zagadjenja, ali
treba imati u vidu njegovu sklonost da istinu zbaci na videlo.Mnogi ljudi tesko
podnose njegov snazni efekat i zato radije biraju neki nezniji kamen za tu
svrhu.Ipak izuzetno je koristan za psihoterapeute i savetnike zato ne samo da
pomaze da se dodje do srzi problema, nego takodje skuplja energije koje su se u
procesu rasule.Crni ili mahagoni opsidijan su najadekvatniji oblici za ovu svrhu, a
mahagoni je nezniji.
Na isti nacin komad opsidijana pored kreveta ili ispod jastuka moze da izvuce
mentalni stres ili napetost, i deluju umirujuce a moze i da izvuce na povrsinu
razloge tog stresa.Sa tim razlozima se onda treba suociti, da bi se opet uspostavio
mir, time se trajno razresava problem, umesto da se zataskava.Neki od neznijih
oblika opsidijana, poput apacke suze ili pahuljice, idealni su za ovaj zadatak.Zato
sto je opsidijan toliko efikasan za upijanje negativne energije, od sustinskog je
znacaja da se kamen ocisti ispod tekuce vode svaki put kada je upotrebljen na ovaj
nacin.
Duhovno, opsidijan ozivljava svrhu duse. Eliminise energetske blokade i opusta
napetost, ugradjujuci psiholosku senku u celinu, da bi doneo spiritualni
integritet.Usidrava duh u telo.Ovaj kamen stimulise rast na svim nivoima.Tera na
istrazivanje nepoznatog, otvarajuci nove horizonte.
Mentalno, opsidijan donosi jasnocu u um i razbistrava zbunjenost i ogranicavajuca
ubedjenja.To, pak, radi tako sto sasvim jasno ukazuje na ono sto lezi iza mentalnog
stresa ili nezdravosti.Kada se to rascisti, opsidijan siri svest, zadiruci u domen
nepoznatog pouzdano i lako.
Psiholoski, opsidijan vam pomaze da spoznate ko ste zaista.Dovodi vas licem u lice
sa vasom mracnom stranom i poducava vas kako da je integrisete.Ovaj kamen vam
takodje pomaze kako da prepoznate modele ponasanja koje ste prevazisli.Opsidijan
razgradjuje emotivne blokade i drevne traume, donoseci dubinu i jasnocu
emocijama.Podstice kvalitete saosecanja i snage.
LECENJE
Opsidijanov najveci dar jeste uvid u uzrok nezdravosti.Pomaze
probavljanju
svega
sto
je
tesko
prihvatljivo,
a
podstice
i
fizicko
varenje.Detoksifikuje, razgradjuje blokade i napetost fizickog i suptilnih tela,
ukljucujuci i otvrdnule arterije.Smanjuje bol kod artritisa, problema sa zglobovima,
grceva i povreda.Kao eliksir koristan je kod soka.Umanjuje bol i zaustavlja
krvarenje, potpomazuci cirkulaciju.Ovaj kamen greje ekstremitete.Moze da se
koristi da smanji uvecanu prostatu.

Black Obsidian Use in Healing and Feng Shui

Why and how is black obsidian used?
By Rodika Tchi

See More About

Black obsidian spheres have been used for healing and mystic purposes in many cultures. If you want to
use black obsidian balls in your feng shui decorating, choose a smaller size sphere and be sure to cleanse
it regularly to help release negative energy.
(c) crystalsrocksandgems.com
Black obsidian has the aura of absolute mystery. Its energy draws you in softly, but very deeply, which
makes the presence of black obsidian powerful in many ways.
Both the black obsidian crystal balls, as well as the black obsidian polished mirrors, were used in various
cultures for deep healing purposes. The highly reflective black colour of obsidian teamed up with its
smooth water-like surface and its volcanic origin can produce powerful transformation in those who know
how to use it.
Often called the stone of truth, the black obsidian can reveal boundless secrets and mysteries, both about
the inner world of the person working with the obsidian, as well as about the inner workings of the
cosmos at large.
The black obsidian sharpness is expressed as physical property and used in various tools to cut through
matter (blades, arrows, etc). The sharpness of black obsidian is also expressed as a metaphysical property.
This powerful stone can help cut through illusions, lies, fearful facades and blockages, etc.
The amount of information that black obsidian can reveal and the intensity of this truthful energy can be
overwhelming. The perfection of its black colour reveals the darkness that blocks the light in any situation
and in any person. This is why the black obsidian is best used with much respect and care, especially the
black obsidian spheres.
Another facet of the black obsidian identity is its ability to draw in negative energy, thus protecting the
wearer or the surroundings in which it is placed. As such, the black obsidian was (and still is) used as
protection in various body adornments, jewelry, as well as in many areas of one's home.
The powerful alchemical properties of the black obsidian are due to its origin. Obsidian is born out of

quickly cooled volcanic lava, so it has the most potent energy of the interaction of several raw and
powerful elements - fire, earth and water.
In healing, the black obsidian is used to help one become more grounded, focused and clear in all
practical matters. It can also help develop razor-like mental abilities and the powers of discernment.
Because the black obsidian expresses a clear, detached energy of truth without "taking any sides", it can
be very helpful for those who tend to react emotionally to people and events in their life. A piece of black
obsidian jewellery - be it a ring, a bracelet or even an ankle bracelet - can help anchor erratic energies,
bring more balance to one's life and clear one's mind of fears and distractions.
Feng shui-wise, black obsidian is an excellent feng shui cure for the North bagua area - the area
connected to the energy of Career and Path in Life. The energy of black obsidian not only provides the
water quality feng shui element energy needed in the North, but also offers protection, as well as clears
the obstacles in one's life path.
You can use a bowl of tumbled black obsidian stones in a glass bowl, or go for a small black obsidian
sphere. There are also many feng shui carvings made of obsidian that you can explore - from animal to
spirit carvings - be mindful to bring only the symbols you like and can associate with.
Because the black obsidian draws in negative energy, be sure to cleanse it regularly, as well as take good
care of its physical surroundings. Do not place the black obsidian on the floor or anywhere else where it
can get neglected.
