Onyx
Onyx is strength giving. It
provides support in difficult or
confusing circumstances and
during times of enormous mental
or physical stress. Centering
your energy and aligning it with
higher power, accessing higher
guidance, is facilitated by Onyx
as is connection with the whole.
It can take you forward to view
future and, with its capacity to
impart personal strength,
facilitates being master of
one's destiny. This stone
promotes vigor, steadfastness,
and stamina. It aids learning
lessons, imparting self
confidence and helping you to be
at ease in your surroundings.
Onyx is a secretive stone that
assists in keeping your own
counsel. However, Onyx is said
to hold the memories of things
that have happened to the
wearer. It can be used for
psychometry, telling the story
to those who are sensitive to
its vibrations. This property of
holding physical memories makes
Onyx useful in past life work
for healing old injuries and
physical trauma that are
affecting the present life.
Holding a piece of Onyx takes
your attention to the site of
the previous injury, which can
then be released through body
work, reframing, or crystal
therapy. Onyx can also be used
to heal old grief and sorrows.
Psychologically, Onyx recognizes
and integrates dualities within
the self. It anchors the flighty
into a more stable way of life
and generally imparts self
control. Onyx is a mental tonic
that alleviates overwhelming
fears and worries. Onyx conveys
the invaluable gift of wise
decisions. Physically, Onyx
assists in absorbing from the
universe energies that are
required for healing or other
purposes. It balances the yin
and yang energies within the
body. Onyx is beneficial for
teeth, bones, bone marrow, blood
disorders, and the feet.
Traditionally, Onyx worn around
the neck was said to cool lust
and support chastity.
