Black Obsidian Obsession

There it was, like a beacon of light. Sim­plicity. Sleek. Edgy. A mag­nif­i­cent piece of black obsidian calling our name, beg­ging to come home with us. We couldn’t look away. It drew us in and an obses­sion was born.

As you appre­ciate the beauty of this sculp­tural piece of stone, let us fill you in on some of the feng shui and healing prop­er­ties of this glo­rious focal piece. We refer to our favorite feng shui expert, Rodika Tchi, for the low down on our stone cold (yet warms our hearts) obsession.

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. Black obsidian is used in var­ious cul­tures for deep healing pur­poses. Black obsidian can be used at your front door to stop all neg­a­tive ener­gies from entering your home and it makes an exquisite home decor piece.

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 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.

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.

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. Neglected? No chance of that hap­pening with our gor­geous piece!

Always a time­less classic, black is one of the eas­iest color to incor­po­rate into any decor. Adding our black obsidian piece to your home will give your decor an age­less and classic feel. Stop by the Clayton Gray Home store to see it in person or order it on line.
