Obsidian is actually volcanic glass formed when molten lava cools too quickly for it to crystalize. It went through an extremely fast transformation, born from the earth out of pure fire. It is a stone without boundaries or limitations that is an extremely powerful, but often overlooked stone. Nothing is hidden from Obsidian. It will mercilessly expose our flaws, weaknesses and blockages. Obsidian points out all our destructive and disempowering conditions impelling us to grow into our highest self. Despite the harshness of what Obsidian exposes, it will be supportive as well. It has a strong protective shield that it puts around us blocking out negativity from every angle. It is naturally a very grounding stone that has a cord that connects us to the deep core of the earth supporting our transformation by keeping us grounded throughout. Obsidian will help you get to the core of your problems and purify and transform you into a better version of yourself.

Pendulums are often used as tools for spiritual healing and inner growth. Pendulums promote healing with the process of Dowsing which seeks out invisible energies. This connects people to higher energies spiritually and can help locate any blocks in energy.
They are used as a form of reflection by asking questions to receive guidance, awareness, and understanding. Balancing one's chakras is also possible with pendulums, as pendulums tend to pick up on subtle vibrations to clear the body and balance mind, body, and spirit.
Before you use your pendulum, you should cleanse it and charge it with your own energy. To charge with your own energy hold in your closed hands for 10-15 minutes sitting quietly with your eyes closed focusing your energy on the pendulum. You can also say a blessing, pray or ask your spiritual guide for support and guidance.
