Rainbow Obsidian vs. Negativity

Rainbow Obsidian Ring

Question: Hi Sheila, By mistake I removed the information on rainbow obsidian. Was it that it's excellent for protection against negative energies or is it for removing the negative energies? Thank you.

Answer: Hi, rainbow obsidian is great for transmuting negative energy to positive wavelengths, therefore protecting the aura. You may find a list of metaphysical properties on our websites in case you forget in the future.

But of course, your emails are always welcome as well. 

Have a great weekend, 

Sheila Satin

Answer: Happy New Year, we wish you a prosperous year as well! That is great that you are a reiki healer and you will incorporate crystals into your practice to heal others!

It sounds like you need emotional balance. As you may know, the emotional center lies within our Solar Plexus chakra, which is a few inches above the navel. This is the area where we receive and process everyday occurrences. The way we react to these occurrences depends on how balanced the Solar Plexus chakra is. If this area is closed off, we may feel nothing, this often occurs in depressed people. If this area is blocked somehow, we will feel irrationally emotional, depending on the level of blockage. If this area if balanced, we will feel empathy within the situation, but we will not take it personally. Click here for a Chakra Tutorial.

Crystals for the Solar Plexus to balance the emotions include Moonstone, Tigers Eye and Calcite. Most yellow stones like Citrine, Aragonite and yellow Jasper correspond with balance for the Solar Plexus. Remember to clean, charge and program these crystals for emotional balance. You can then place these directly over the chakra, meditate with them or lie in a crystal grid with these stones. 

Tigers Eye Earrings

To keep negative energies from seeping into your aura, we always recommend Obsidian. In our experience, we have found Rainbow Obsidian to be most effective in transmuting negative energy to positive, thus keeping other people's unwanted energies from affecting us. Depending on the situation, you may want to wear the stone - some people who can't have jewelry on outright, like nurses, will wear it as a pendant under their blouse, if you are performing active healing like Reiki, you can wear two Rainbow Obsidian bracelets, one on each wrist. If you have a healing space, you may want an Obsidian crystal ball or stone protecting the area.

CRYSTALS: Protection

QUESTION: Hey sheila, thanks so much for the crystals! I have a story to tell you that actually now leads me to look for a crystal for protection.

Before i went to bed, i placed 2 of my crystals in water, and one in salt, to cleanse their energies. The crystals were left cleansing on my nightstand right next to my bed. I read online to keep them away from your bed but i didnt think to much of it. Anyways, heres my story i just woke up and wrote. 

[details removed]

Either way, i leave this dream with great insight. About the power of energy and spirits. About the 3rd eye and astral viewing. About the importance of learning how to protect myself from other beings. Although waking up scared to death, i also had a bit of excitement in me, because i learned so much and the crystals brought this effect. All I am thinking about now is that i need to find a crystal that will aid me in protecting myself. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thank you so much!

ANSWER: Hello, thanks for your email. This explains why you immediately picked up the Rainbow Obsidian orbs at the tumbled crystal trays! This is the one we highly recommend everyone have with them, whether wearing, holding or keeping in your space. Rainbow Obsidian is a great crystal to transmute any negative energies, thus protecting your aura and keeping you from being affected by unwanted energies. 

Yes, the crystals do have a great affect in opening your senses, and that is why we always recommend having protective stones around you. You can even grid your room with Obsidian or Pyrite for protection. You may even consider attending our crystal healing classes once you are wanting to practice more with the stones! If you haven't yet, we invite you to join our mailing list (which you can do on the front page of our website) or we can add you directly. 

For now I strongly suggest Rainbow Obsidian. It is always necessary to balance the opening of your intuition so that you don't receive everything out there, just the select, positive insight  you want to progress in this life. 

Sincerely, 

Sheila Satin :)

CRYSTALS: Cranky Neighbors

QUESTION: I need some crystals for energy wall between our neighbor and us. got instructed to put lots of clear quartz along the fence and mix with rose quartz and rainbow obsidian....should I go on te website? Protection, protection, clearing energy. Any tips?

ANSWER: Hi, yes, Rose Quartz is a very effective crystal in calming the divide between your place and your neighbors. The larger the piece the better - place it on the wall/fence that connects you and program the crystal for peace. Quartz can definitely amplify any programming you are doing, so Quartz is always an effective crystal to boost up any layout or grid. And, as you are well aware, Rainbow Obsidian is our number one crystal of choice to transmute any negative energies. This will help to protect your own auras. This is an excellent grid, however I would recommend having more of the Rose Quartz and using the other two stones as fillers.

Depending on the size of your space, you will want crystals that are relatively equal to the space. For example, if you were doing a grid around yourself, smaller tumbled stones would work. If you are gridding a room, you may want medium size. If you are doing a whole house, the bigger (or more) the better!

If you need help finding the crystals you don't yet own, just let us know and we will gather from for you according to your budget.

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

CRYSTALS: Nurses

QUESTION: What's a good stone to carry around for someone working in hospitals? Looking for gift ideas for nurses.

ANSWER: Hi, we have many people who come in seeking to protect tthemselves from illnesses and sicknesses that surround them. We always recommend Rainbow Obsidian.

Many nurses like to wear pendants or bracelets of Rainbow Obsidian so that they don't absorb the patients' negativity.

If you need help finding Rainbow Obsidian pieces, we do have some on our website at www.satincrystals.com and can make custom items as well.

CRYSTALS: Protect Healer

QUESTION: Sheila, I hope maybe you or your Mom may have an answer for this: I use energy to help heal myself and others around me. Many times, the healings are at a time when I don't have any crystals on me, and usually distance healings. I don't carry crystals all the time, however I do completely believe in their individual healing properties. My situation is that after a healing, occaisionally I will be very tired and/or ill for a few hours. I know that, as a young person, I was always an empathetic being and emotions and physical issues of others seem to transfer to me. I try to set my intention that, when healing, the healing will be focused and that I will not absorb any of the energy that is not beneficial to me, however, am I missing a step?

Is there a mantra/meditation I should use prior to healing?

Thank you so much for all that you do and give.

ANSWER: Thanks for your question. I felt the same way as you when I first started doing healing sessions for others. I also set my intention, but I forgot to wear my Rainbow Obsidian for protection and i was feeling weak for several days afterwards. After I started to wear my Rainbow Obsidian for protection I felt energized and ready to go! So personally I like to use crystals for healing. I have not tried to do healings just with my thoughts, but if your mind is strong enough of course all you need is your positive intentions. That is the ideal situation. However, if we are not as strong in our own minds, we use the energy of crystals to direct our intentions, thus strengthening our resolve and protective energies around us.

I am sure there are many mantras or protective thoughts you can say when you are without crystals, but for me personally I have not tried them, so I would not be able to advise you in these matters. For me it is easier to work with crystals as it combines the physical and non-physical aspects of energy in healing.

You are more than welcome to email my mother as she also teaches Reiki and other non-crystal healing methods that she may have better advice for you!

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

ANN'S ANSWER: Hello, I have been telling the students that the mind is the most powerful thing above and beyond everything else. The only tricky part is how to utilize our mind to it fullest. Human is bounded with a physical limitation since most of us still vibrate at the 3rd dimension frequency and some of us are in and out from 3rd dimension to 4th dimension. A few of us are living in the 4th dimension (such as Saints, Yogis etc..)

Good news is that since we are going through "the shift" and starting to connect more with the high vibration, we can use more of our mind to control our bodies much better if we choose to do so.

In conclusion, to be on the safe side, I would recommend seeking help from crystals for protection or other tools that produce the high energy.

Matras and medition are certainly help clearing the negative energy. I myself do not use any mantras but loving heart will do!

I will keep you on our mailing list. I conduct a regular guided meditation on Tuesday at 7:00pm at my condo in Yorba Linda, California. You are welcome to join us if you get a chance. I teach classes at home once in a while and will keep you informed.

CRYSTALS: Rainbow Obsidian

QUESTION: Hi! I know rainbow obsidian can be hard to photograph which may be why so many of the pictures show grey rings. Are all of the rings of color in this egg actually green and purple? Or are there grey rings too? Thank you!

ANSWER: Thanks for your interest in this beautiful Rainbow Obsidian egg. You are correct, it is difficult to capture the true beauty of Rainbow Obsidian with a camera. When I hold it under the light the colors are green, purple, and grey. 2 sides have eyes, or portals, and then the rest of the egg is lined with grey stripes.

Good luck!

CRYSTALS: Obsidian

QUESTION: Peace & Blessings, I stumbled upon your Youtube page while looking for a decent "open chakra" video and really digged your chakra therapy cleansing technique. This of course lead me to your website and then I decided to email you. =) Heeeyah.. wusup Sheila Satin crystal balla!! lol jk Anywayzzz, I am interest in purchasing an Osidian Crystal similar to the one you used in that video for my recording studio. I may actually need a couple. lol So I was wondering do you have any that size and what is your price?

Also do you ever give seminars in New York?

When I saw your video I kept thinking to myself, "where do I meet someone like this". I am single, vegetarian, consider myself to be very positive and spiritual, love to meditate, have a degree in Media Communications, love to help ppl and try do humane things, etc. BUT!!! I am in the music business which I love (pop urban & hiphop) and most of the people I meet or work with are so not down with this! For example, some associates of mine have an incredible time joking about the organic foods i eat and most of them don't have a clue about meditation or crystals. REal TalK!! lol

Anywho, I guess I need your crystal theorpy class. Lmbo =)

I hope to hear back from you soon. tc God Bless.

ANSWER: Hello, thanks for your email.

We do have many pieces of Obsidian in our store as it's a very popular seller! We have tumbled stones for $1 each, smaller slabs that range from $10-20 depending on the quality of their rainbows, flat hearts that are $20/each, Larger chunks that are around $150, towers around $120-150, pyramids around $50, spheres that range from $15-$2012 depending on the size (you can imagine that the highest end of that spectrum is a huge bowling ball size sphere!). You can see some of the Obsidian: Click here, but a lot of the pieces are not online yet, so if you tell me what size and price range you are looking for, we can send you some pictures!

We do not have any regular classes held in New York at this time, but we do have a full schedule of classes, meditations and events in our San Francisco location. However, we do travel on request if there are at least 6 students interested in learning a particular subject.

It's great that you have a balance of physical and spiritual in your life. If you want to get more into the spiritual side of things, I would suggest joining one of your local www.meetup.com metaphysical groups or yoga/meditation centers in your area to connect with like minded people. Let us know about the Obsidian. We also have pendants, bracelets and can custom design jewelry.

CRYSTALS: Loss & Roomies

QUESTION: Hey Sheila. I wanted to get your advice on some crystals. I recently had a tragic loss and purchased Malachite eggs from your wonderful store to help in my healing. I was curious how long I should leave them buried in sea salt to clear them and how long they should be in the sun to charge? I was also curious if these are the right crystals for this type of healing as Malachite is more for Yang energy. You also sent me an Aventurine tumbler so I’m curious if I should actually being using that for this type of healing, which seems it might be more Yin focused.

I also would like your advice on Rainbow Obsidian. I currently have a roommate who I receive ample amounts of negative energy from and it seems like this would be the right crystal instead of the ever more popular Garnet. Would a sphere in my room suffice? Is it better to have it in a place near the door to my room or somewhere closer to my bed? And would it be too much to also wear a Rainbow Obsidian necklace as well?

Thank you Sheila.

ANSWER:

As for your first question, there is no set time as to how long you should clean or charge the crystals, but personally I like to clear them for at least 12 hours the first time I get them. So, I either leave them for one full cycle of the sun or one cycle of the moonlight, depending on what kind of energies I want to focus on: sun being physical healing and moon being more intuitive. Of course, you can leave them for 24 hours as well.

You are correct, Malachite is very yang energy. If you check out my guide on crystal healing the heart: http://www.idigcrystals.com/hearthealing.htm you will see that I recommend this crystal for Hearts that are blocked with yin energy, which yours would be in cases of loss and depression. In this case, you want a balance of yin and yang. Because your heart is blocked with yin energies, you want some strong yang energy to balance this area.

As for your roommate who is giving off a lot of negativity that your aura seems to be absorbing, I would recommend wearing Rainbow Obsidian or carrying a piece in your pocket if you don't prefer to wear jewelry. Then, I would definitely recommend a sphere or other larger piece for your room, placed near the wall that is closest to her room. If you share a wall, I would also recommend placing Rose Quartz here to promote peace.

If you have further questions, I'm always here to answer them!

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin: Crystal Healer
