Black Obsidian is deeply connected with the astral realms. It is a cleanser and protector against negative vibrations, within and around ourselves. When influenced by these lower energy shifts, it can manifest as physical pain or bad moods. Black Obsidian aids in cleansing these, opening our metaphysical abilities, and relieving symptoms like headaches. It is a great aid in meditation to dive into our shadow-selves, and learn to grow from these darker spaces. Skulls have been used in energy healing for many years. Where many people find the skull shape off-putting, seeming to symbolize death, it is actually the opposite that the skull represents. Life and wisdom are at the height of the skulls benefits. They are said to unlock your inner psychic powers, as well as amplifying the energies locked up within the crystal. Meditate with a skull and you'll find yourself opening worlds within your mind, and able to set intentions with more focus.
