What Your Higher Self Reveals Through Obsidian’s Mirror | Crystal Healing Blog
In the quiet moments of introspection, when you dare to gaze into the depths of your soul, Obsidian emerges as a sacred mirror. This volcanic glass, forged in the fires of Earth’s primal energy, holds a vibration that speaks directly to your higher self. Its message? A call to confront your shadows, reclaim your power, and awaken to the luminous truth within.
The Voice of Obsidian: A Dialogue With Your Higher Self
Obsidian’s glossy black surface isn’t merely a stone—it’s a portal. As one of nature’s most potent protective crystals, it resonates with the frequency of radical honesty. When you hold it, meditate with it, or wear it close to your skin, it whispers:
- “What truths are you ready to see?”
- “Where have you hidden your power?”
- “What needs to be released so your light can shine?”
Metaphysical Properties: More Than a Protective Shield
While many associate Obsidian primarily with protection (and rightly so—it’s unmatched at deflecting negativity), its deeper magic lies in revealing subconscious patterns. It acts as a spiritual MRI, scanning your energy field to expose:
- Self-sabotaging beliefs
- Unexamined fears
- Hidden grief or anger
- Karmic imprints needing resolution
