Obsidian is a powerful stone known for its protective qualities, especially in the realm of dreams. It has been used for centuries to ward off negative energies and promote clarity and insight during dream experiences. To ensure your obsidian maintains its protective qualities and continues to enhance your dreams, proper care is essential.
Cleansing Your Obsidian
Regular cleansing is important to remove any accumulated negative energies that your obsidian may have absorbed. There are several methods you can use to cleanse your stone:
1. Water Cleansing
Hold your obsidian under running water, such as a natural stream or faucet, and visualize the water washing away any negativity. You can also immerse it in a bowl of clean water and leave it overnight. After cleansing, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth.
2. Sunlight Cleansing
Place your obsidian under direct sunlight for a few hours. The sun”s energy will help to clear any negative energies stored within the stone. However, be cautious not to leave it in direct sunlight for extended periods as this may cause the stone”s color to fade.
3. Smudging
Pass your obsidian through the smoke of sacred herbs such as sage, lavender, or palo santo. As the smoke surrounds the stone, visualize it purifying and cleansing the energy within.
Charging Your Obsidian
Charging your obsidian will enhance its protective qualities and amplify its energy. Here are a few methods to charge your stone:
1. Moonlight Charging
Place your obsidian outside or on a windowsill during a full moon. The moon”s energy will infuse the stone, revitalizing its protective properties. Leave it overnight and retrieve it in the morning.
2. Crystal Cluster Charging
Place your obsidian on a crystal cluster, such as amethyst or quartz, for a few hours or overnight. The crystal cluster will amplify and charge the energy of the obsidian, enhancing its protective qualities.
3. Intentional Charging
Hold your obsidian in your hands, close your eyes, and set a clear intention for its energy to be charged. Visualize a bright light surrounding the stone, infusing it with positive, protective energy. This method is particularly effective if you have a strong connection with your stone.
Storing Your Obsidian
When your obsidian is not in use, it”s important to store it properly to protect its energy. Consider the following tips:
1. Individual Wrapping
Wrap your obsidian in a clean cloth or place it in a small pouch to prevent it from coming into contact with other stones or objects that may affect its energy.
2. Dedicated Space
Create a dedicated space for your obsidian, such as a special box or a section on your altar. This space will help maintain its energetic integrity.
3. Regular Cleansing
Periodically cleanse your stored obsidian to ensure it remains clear of any negative energies that may accumulate over time.
By following these care practices, you will enhance the protective qualities of your obsidian, creating a powerful ally in your dream experiences. Remember to set positive intentions and connect with the energy of the stone to maximize its benefits. May your dreams be filled with clarity, insight, and protection!
Until next time Dreamrecallers!
