Black Obsidian is often used during meditation to find a creative way through problems. It is helpful in developing intuition and grounding you to the earth, releasing negative energies that result in restlessness, irritability, and nervousness. Obsidian protects the wearer from hostility, negativity, psychic ‘vampires’, and spiritual entities that do not belong. It offers release from tension and enables one to move forward in life, with a more promising outlook.
