The Crystal Spirits Oracle by Colette Baron-Reid

Obsidian Observing the self, self-reflection, “know thyself”

 

When you look in the mirror, who looks back at you? How do you view yourself? Do you look into your own eyes and see someone willing to acknowledge the past and learn from it? Do you see someone willing to step into a new identity, one more suited to the life you want for yourself? All of us are ever-changing, and a mix of past, present, and hopes for the future. The challenge is to trust that the “you” that you are becoming will be loved, cherished, and supported even if you’re still just exploring your potential, still unfamiliar with the new territory you have entered.

As you ponder what you wish to change, love the one you’re with–you! Love yourself in all your complexity, knowing that whatever strengths you need are present, and Obsidian Spirit is here to amplify them through the power of self-awareness. Just as in observing a particle or a wave, the observer can change its form, so too in observing yourself can you begin the process of personal transformation. Love the you that you’re becoming!

Relationship Message

Self-awareness means stopping long enough to acknowledge who you see when you observe yourself: the beautiful you and the you who is imperfect. We are all works in progress, and as you engage in honest self-reflection, you will start to see that you were overlooking — the qualities you have been seeking in a partner but have forgotten exist within you. You have so much to offer. As the ancient Greek axiom goes, know thyself. To be authentic in any relationship, you have to know — and love– yourself just as you are. And Obsidian spirit is here to remind you that you are awesome.

Prosperity Message

Do you know your patterns? Do you know where your money and efforts go, or is it all a big mystery at the end of the month? Obsidian Spirit’s gentle message for you is to stop being afraid of looking at your relationship with money, for you have a serious tendency to underestimate your ability to manage the flow of abundance in your life. To experience the prosperity you deserve, answer the call to heal your old fear-based habits. Fearful frugality and “gee- I-hope-they-love-me-now” generosity will not serve you on your healing journey. Any discomfort you have been looking at your relationship to finances is simply part of a necessary transition to accepting yourself as you are today, right now in this moment — and you must accept yourself as you are for healing to take place. Self-awareness is always a good thing, and it will lead you to feeling comfortable and confident in growing your abundance.
