Lithotherapy esoteric indications:

• Celestial Eye Obsidian evacuates all “entities”, by aligning and purifying all the chakras. Heavenly Eye Obsidian should be used with respect. It is attributed with the power to repel psychic and occult attacks. It is one of the most powerful and complete obsidians. Cut into a ball or cabochon, it is the divine witness to the quest for truth and knowledge. It is the seat of all positive energies and powerfully radiates its protection. It promotes the elevation of the soul, the expansion of the aura towards the higher layers of the spiritual, the passage from one energetic body to another, access to divine light. It can be associated with azurite, sapphire, lapis lazuli in spiritual research. Even more than any other obsidian, we owe it the greatest respect because it is the eye of the supreme spirit. She will only be called upon for work of the greatest importance, otherwise she will not feel any activation, or even disapproval. It is a stone capable of bringing great joy and lavishing a lot of happiness but, in case of disrespect towards it, it can cause great sadness. It is very effective in curing nervous breakdowns, convulsions, hysteria, epilepsy and calming fear. It is also a stone of evolution which leads to real “letting go” by letting fly the veils that we had placed on our shadows, our fears and on everything that we prefer to conceal and by therefore placing ourselves in front of our responsibilities and helping us to get rid of things by working on ourselves. It is likely that during this work and after the veils are removed, a feeling of unease and anxiety appears. It will then be appropriate to wear rose quartz to attenuate these effects and allow the obsidian to fully do its work.

The different colors and additional virtues:

• Purple to dark purple: - Has the ability to purify the Aura and the subtle bodies. It allows our being, through its cleaning work, to adapt more easily to vibrational changes. It is a link with the energy of Reiki (universal). We will use it on the 3rd eye to strongly stimulate it.
• Pink to magenta - Stone of appeasement and serenity, it awakens Unconditional Love. It brings understanding of the true causes of emotional suffering leading to forgiveness towards oneself and others.
• Blue to blue/purple - Particularly suited to the development of extra-sensory abilities (astral travel, divination, etc.) it is used for shamanic and white magic rituals. On the Throat Chakra, it facilitates speech and the transmission of knowledge. In geobiology and to harmonize places, it is a powerful and protective stone.
• Turquoise - Stone of opening towards calm and deep peace, it transmits softness and harmony to the body and the mind.
• Green - Opening and healing of the heart chakra, release of emotional trauma, reconnection to the energies of abundance and love towards others. It is the color of therapists because it perfectly channels healing energies on all levels.
