Selenite is known to be a conductor of energy and it is cleansing to the system. It is used in crystal healing to enable increased awareness of enlightenment by allowing a flow of high frequency energy to pass through all the chakra centers. Selenite is used in the home or meditation space to clear the energy. Experienced crystal healers may use Selenite by placing it over the crown of the head for just a few moments to open the crown chakra with a Smoky Quartz at the root chakra or Obsidian touching a toe on each foot for grounding. Selenite is very strong and should be handled with reservation at first.
In crystal healing obsidian is used for psychic protection and to deflect lowering energy levels that are projected from others. It is used to stimulate the root chakra for drawing in the earths energy to strengthen the system. Obsidian is known to bring things hidden to the surface that makes it a strong metaphysical tool. It is used to remove deception and bring clarity to issues that may not otherwise become transparent.
In Crystal Magic Obsidian is associated to fire; its energy is projective with powers known to be protective, centering, and grounding. It is used in magic for divination, and peace. Some information indicates that four pieces of obsidian may be placed around a white candle for protecting an area and one may hold a piece in each hand or stand with a small piece under each foot to calm and relieve anxiety and to stop over excitement. It is believed by some that obsidian may be used for scrying when quartz crystal is not effective. In magic black obsidian is sometimes referred to as black glass and is used for divination and scrying by gazing into the shiny black surface. Black obsidian was once known as "flint" by some ancient people when it was used in arrowheads, knives and spears.
