Intention: I let go of negativity. Affirmation: “I carry what I choose to hold.”
Life isn’t always happy vibes. The spiritual battle of light and darkness is present within all of us and is very much a part of the human experience. Pain, suffering and hardships... all of which would be ideal to live without… do in fact, exist. Black Obsidian is a stone that helps us heal from pain and loss. This stone reminds you that life itself would hold little meaning if struggles ceased to exist. Through the trials and tribulations of the human experience, an appreciation for suffering and pain can be appreciated for its role in mental, spiritual and emotional growth. It is THROUGH (not around, below or above) our trauma and pain that our resiliency is strengthened. A person who has suffered the feelings of great sadness also has the ability to experience great joy. Our sadness pulls us into ourselves so that we can figure out what is truly important to us and propel us into the healthy stages of healing. For without defeat, there would be no victory; without hardship, there would be no success and without suffering, there would be no triumph. Use black obsidian to offer that gentle support as you navigate through complex emotional healing. Feel all your emotions and then release it. If unsuppressed, your righteous rage and tears may naturally end when fully expressed.
