Black Onyx Healing Stone
Onyx is a stone of inner strength. It enhances one’s endurance and persistence, enabling one to carry even difficult and dreary tasks through to completion. On a mental level, it increases one’s ability to maintain focus, allowing one to learn challenging new material and use well all that one has mastered. It energetically boosts the retention of memory and encourages attention to detail. These traits make Onyx a helpful tool for students, teachers, business owners, accountants, lawyers, software and computer technicians, and all those whose work calls for high levels of focus, perseverance and discipline.
Onyx is also a stone of physical strength. It assists one in containing one’s energies rather than allowing them to dissipate. It helps one to gradually build up one’s vitality. This can be especially helpful after a long illness, or even a prolonged work project, both of which can deplete one’s resources. It can keep one focused on an exercise regime, weight loss program or other effort to improve one’s health. Onyx is an excellent stone for body builders, even if the goals are quite modest. It encourages one to stay with the program and facilitates the sense of satisfaction that comes with achieving one’s goals.
Onyx emanates the energy of self-mastery. It can help one to control, focus and direct the will, and this brings about a considerable increase in one’s personal power. For those who have an abundance of ideas, but lack the discipline to carry them out, Onyx can bring one down to Earth and keep one on task. It assists one in learning that the most important control is self-control. Those who pursue their desires by manipulating other people and things outside of themselves are advised to take advantage of Onyx’s capacity to realign one’s attention to one’s own actions. Then they may find the success which has heretofore eluded them.
Onyx cools and condenses excessive energies. It calms nervousness, quells anxiety, soothes hot tempers and brings reason to passion. It is a good grounding influence when one has been working with very high-energy stones, which can bring thrilling visions and insights but may over-activate one’s energy fields. It works through the first, third and sixth chakras, the seats of physical vitality, will and mental activity. It is an excellent stone to carry into conflict situations, in which one must maintain a ‘cool head.’
