Obsidian Crystal Meaning • Dive into Shadow Work

[@whitegoldtwin02]

I have an obsidian pendant that i never new was obsidian... i was just drawn to it but whenever i wear it gave me a since peace to express my feelings out into the open which was something i was never able to do in my life. I always had a problem with holding emotions in until i was introduced to obsidian.....it really made me into a believer in the sher power these crystals provide!!!

[@CrystalCollector-g4n]

Is black obsidian opaque or translucent? I bought two B.O. from a crystal shop, the raw specimen is complete opaque while the tumbled form is translucent (yellowish brown) through light

[@docchocobo]

When I hold this obsidian wand in my hand, my mind's eye can move from place to place with the speed of a hard drive seeking. I can see with the sharpness of a razor, down to every molecule! I never believed this could do this until I held it for the first time. It was electrical! It was like I got a firmware upgrade. The closest thing I can describe it to. It was like a slick oily coating fell away and I was free to project again like I used to decades ago. This is the ONLY crystal I could even say "talked" to me. More like screamed to me. When I start channeling energy through it, it feels red hot. I find that I am loving the stuff. It talks to my darker side, which is fine. It's delicious to put it metaphorically. Finally something I can fully work with! It also seems to resonate with certain other crystals. I can literally feel the thrum between them like a pendulum with a cycle of about one second. Hmmm, seems I've found my wand :)

[@CosmicIntuition]

That is AMAZING! I love hearing stories like this of someone finding a stone that really resonates with their energy, so amazing!!

[@allisonboraine]

I was so drawn to black obsidian and when I got it I immediately felt a deep sense of grounding and self acceptance, almost like a feeling I’ve been searching for all my life. Definitely feel that it’s calling was on a spiritual level.

[@CosmicIntuition]

It definitely sounds like it! I have the same feeling, there is a way it absorbs something from our energy its so fascinating, one of the best stones to feel relief from!

[@JoannaDiana]

Omg me too! I just bought one today and as soon as I put it on it changed the way I feel completely!

Love black obsidian. I have a large obsidian tower next to my bed. Its helped me through anxiety and keeps me getting work done. I feel very charged with this stone in a positive way.

[@CosmicIntuition]

Thank you for sharing! I would love to experiment with this stone next to my bedside!

obsidian has always been a go-to for me in terms of getting rid of negative energies! it was great to hear your perspectives, some really important info here. you've got a new sub! xo

[@CosmicIntuition]

thank you so much for the kind words! I am so glad you resonated with my video and I appreciate your input with the magnificent energy of obsidian, it is such a go too for me! :)

[@treasuredreamsoaps6827]

Great video and information! I frequently wear green obsidian, I call it “She Knows”. When I first started working with this stone during meditation it showed me a version of myself locked away.

[@CosmicIntuition]

I LOVE that! I feel like wearing it is so beneficial, my boyfriend is actually the one that was wearing it consistently and it really improved his mood so much, that's what got me to work with it myself and really confirm how fast and effective it is! Green obsidian sounds so nice, I'm def gonna look for some color variations in the future, thanks for sharing, I appreciate it

[@codigo9]

Golden obsidian is an excellent crystal for those with a natal placement of Pluto in the 12th or 8th house, aiding in deep emotional healing, transformation, and spiritual growth.

[@ninjapenguin120]

I got my first black obsidian a few months ago. It's this 8-sided pyramid-looking shape called an "extractor" (apparently). I set it to clear my aura and chakras. I'd heard it could be intense but I was new to crystals, so I was like "whatever can't be that intense, it's an inanimate object." I wasn't totally on board with crystals at the time. About 15 minutes later I felt like my bottom three chakras were getting sucked into a black hole, like there was a big rip in the spacetime continuum in my gut. I was like "wait wait wait please clear my chakras but be gentle!" Seemed to work better after that. It's pretty weird once you start working with it.

I was at Blue Ridge Mountains this weekend. We took sometime to adventure the mountain side and found a place to mine gemstones. My 3y/o son found the most beautiful shiny black stone, amongst others. We took it to the shop owner and she immediately smiled and said “Oh my, this is a beautiful black obsedian”.”You’re going to love its energy” I placed it in my hand tonight for the first time, and it was as if I became this machine that can process a million things at once. My ears were ringing and I can sense a very high frequency. I’m a little scared as I feel fantastic and unstoppable.

Many people who weared Black Obsedian for longer period complaining it increases premature aging, and makes you look older than your actual age. What's your view on this? Thankyou 🤗

[@CosmicIntuition]

I have actually never heard about this! I will def look into that myself and do some research on the subject!

[@zaiga2995]

Black obsidian was associated with night, death, and the underworld, hence the use of obsidian for elements of funerary items. You can say it's a 'memento mori' stone (remember that you will die), so it doesn't cause aging, but reminds people that they are finite instead. The notion of death is also a shadow aspect since people tend to ignore/repress it.

[@radiatelight4766]

Oooh! I need to see this, thank you! I'm waiting on some craft wire and will be making necklaces... and I need to do shadow work! 💡🤔

[@pryttyc]

Hi love the video😃😃I just purchase a small piece of Obsidian which was reccomended to me for helping stop thinking negative and having negative feelings, because I am going through alot personally... I have it... now do I have to cleanse it and charge it? ( can't use smoke cleanseing😕) what is the easiest way to do both? Is there something I should say to it? Plus I don't even know when or how to use it...smh...😒😒

[@CosmicIntuition]

You have come to the right place!! Black obsidian is one that can definitly help you FAST when you are feeling negative thoughts, I use it all the time when my shadow is creepin. What I do to use it is simply hold it, have it next to me. It would be ideal to cleanse your obsidian, run it under water, and then state your intention with it like "This crystal will help me release negative thought and replace my negative thoughts with positive ones" something like that. My best advice for smoke free cleanses is with water, visualization of white light surrounding your crystal, and putting your crystal on top of rice, the rice will absorb any stagnant or negative energy, do this every other month for a healthy practice. I hope this all makes sense! Sending you lots of love on your crystal journey!

Hi I am new to crystals. The other week I was looking at my crystals in bed and I was holding my black obsidian. I popped it under my pillow and turned off the light. I then sensed something in the room so I opened my eyes. I saw a clown floating towards me and then a wolfs profile ( like in fairytales) coming through the door. I quickly turned on the light and removed the crystal. I have been trying to learn or / and understand what happened? Can you help me please. Thank you Ruth. Love your channel. Xx

[@CosmicIntuition]

Oh wow sounds like something may have been around in your shadow that was confronted when you chose to work with the obsidian, sometimes the energy can take a visual form and we can identify (i.e imagery of wolf, clown) I would pair selenite with your obsidian next time you work with it to see if you notice the energy shift towards the light, or helps you feel more comfortable when shadow element emerge, always remember in moments of fear you are protected by white light, I do this a lot when I get spooked, I imagine white light surrounding me.

[@ruthastbury1059]

[@Denny1818]

Which one better..black obsidian or black tourmaline? Or just combine it together to get more powerfull effect?

[@CosmicIntuition]

I would say a pairing of the two would be super powerful with protection work. Black Tourmaline is protection from outside influences, I have noticed and Black Obsidian is more for inner protection from your inner critic or personal negative self talk or mindset. Both are great !

[@Denny1818]

Thank you..i combined it both as neackless..i fell the protection energy..and my negative emotion inside me dispeled..anger, sad or traumatic memory coming out for a while and after that you feel relieved, calm and peace..i felt these crystal combination energy create a hot or warm energy sensation..

I have been to a crystal shop 1 time before and bought 2 other crystals. I had never seen this crystal before and remember that I did not put that crystal there! What also makes me think is that today is the blue moon + I have been seeing 222 everywhere this week. Dose anyone know what all of this could mean?

[@CosmicIntuition]

That is so cool, it sounds like maybe black obsidian is returning to you to bring you a message of 222. Finding alignment and maybe there for you if you need to do any shadow work. This full moon was such a powerful one!
