Prized since ancient times for its deep, glassy black finish and reflective surface, it's long been associated with truth, protection and grounding. Carved here into a meditating figure, it brings an added sense of stillness and spiritual presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHealing Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObsidian is known as one of the most powerful protective stones, said to absorb and dispel negative energy from both body and space. It's also valued for shadow work and self-reflection, helping to bring hidden truths to light and release old stress or emotional tension. As a meditating figure, it's a lovely visual reminder to pause, breathe and return to stillness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChakra Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObsidian resonates most strongly with the Root Chakra, grounding energy and building a sense of safety, stability and security. It's a stone that helps anchor you firmly to the earth, especially useful during turbulent or transitional periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStar Sign Support\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObsidian is especially aligned with Scorpio and Capricorn. For Scorpio, it supports deep transformation and soul-cleansing work; for Capricorn, it reinforces the sign's determined, grounded nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCleansing and Care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCleanse your Obsidian Buddha by smudging with sage or incense, or by placing it on a bed of selenite. Obsidian can be rinsed briefly under cool running water if needed, though avoid prolonged soaking. Recharge under moonlight or in brief sunlight to restore its protective energy. Hold your Buddha and set an intention for stillness and protection, letting its calm strength settle into your space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: As each piece is natural, slight variations in colour, pattern and markings are to be expected, so yours may vary slightly in colour and pattern from the one shown.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Serenity Crystals and Gifts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54639560622419,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/7401\/8643\/files\/IMG_1589.jpg?v=1787233961","url":"https:\/\/serenitycrystalsandgifts.co.uk\/products\/obsidian-buddha-carving","provider":"Serenity Crystals and Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
