Spiritual plane and esotericism:
Stone of High Spirituality
A stone of truth, golden obsidian connects us to our deepest self (our Divine Presence), raising to consciousness the negative aspects buried following physical, emotional or psychological blockages.
Our “Shadow” (self-shadow) is thus revealed to be able to release it and replace it with the energy of Love and Harmony which will allow us to regain our fullness. This process takes place in gentleness and certainty of good.
Chakras:
To do this, we will wear the stone at the level of the Plexus Chakra (approximately 4 finger widths above the navel) either all day, or during sessions or while sleeping with it.
It will purify and recharge this Chakra.
It can, if necessary, be combined with pink or green stones on the Heart Chakra, stones for harmonizing the liver (rhyolite, yellow jasper, Unakite, rutilated quartz, etc.).
It is a very effective stone for regaining great optimism in life. If this stone does not particularly attract you, it may be that the time to resolve your problems has not yet come (or that another will be more appropriate for you).
It can be worn or placed on all the chakras to harmonize them and de-crystallize stagnant energies. For the development of extrasensory faculties and connection to the highest higher planes, it will be used on the 3rd eye, the crown and trans-personal chakra (cosmic door located 30 cm above the 7th chakra)
Golden obsidian connects us to Christ energy, considerably increasing our vibration rate, facilitating channeling with Beings of Light of higher hierarchies. In connection with the 12 rays of God consciousness, that is to say the 7 Sacred rays and the 5 Galactic rays in particular the 12th Golden ray. What more could you want?
Purification and recharge:
The recharging of this stone, which falls into the classification of “solar” stones, is done in the sun, on the earth or on a quartz or rock crystal geode.
This mineral repels negative energies, it does not need to be purified. Obsidian recharges placed on a pile of druse, in lunar light (particularly at full moon), in the sun and in front of flames.
It is a stone from the bowels of the earth, from molten lava, it is a stone of FIRE, which deserves the greatest respect.
