GREEN OBSIDIAN

Overview:

Green Obsidian is particularly useful to finding release from people who try to 'hook you' or draw you into their personal crises, and redirects their pulling, draining energy to the unlimited field of White Light, giving them access to their own healing, without needing to draw energy from you.


If you have a lot of people who constantly come to you for aid, wearing Green Obsidian will give you an immediate sense of lightness and freedom are it redirects these energies away from you.



Green Obsidian heals broken crystals and charges them. Balances Heart Chakra. Assists in energy healing during Reiki. This beautiful stone allows for a connection with nature and the self-realizations of love, tenderness and the significance of nurturing.

Obsidian is an "ego buster" - revealing the truth about ourselves in a none too gentle manner. But sometimes, an illness can be treated with medication, and other times, surgery is required. Obsidian cuts through all our defenses and exposes us naked to ourselves.

Usage:

Gall bladder, heart, compassion, strength, digestion of anything that is hard to accept, detoxification, blockages, hardened arteries, arthritis, joint pain, cramp, injuries, pain, bleeding, circulation.

Legend:

In addition to carrying the generic properties of Obsidian, Green Obsidian removes hooks from other people lodged in the chakras and protects against these being hooked in again. It is especially beneficial for the gall bladder and the heart.

Occurrence:

Green Obsidian sources in Mesoamerica are limited in number and distribution, and are restricted to the volcanic regions of the Sierra Madre Mountains as it runs through Mexico and Gautemala.
