Family Cleansing and Protection Ritual with Black Obsidian

Black Obsidian is one of the strongest stones for connecting with the Earth’s energies and our roots. It is ideal to have nearby when cleansing ancestral lines and for creating protection for our entire family. In the following ritual, we will first go through the process of cleansing the ancestral field and then focus on strengthening positive protective energies. This ritual is not a classic regression work; we recommend doing that with a therapist, where Obsidian can also be very beneficial.

Description of the Ritual

We recommend performing the ritual during the new moon phase, preferably in the evening, so you can relax and dive as deeply as possible.

1. Get Comfortable:
Lie down or sit in a very comfortable place.

2. Prepare the Space:
Place the Obsidian close to your body within reach. Light a candle for the work, and if possible, remain in the dark. You may play some ambient music.

3. Relaxation Exercises:
It’s beneficial to do a few exercises to tense and relax the muscles of your entire body, allowing your muscle tone to relax as much as possible (about 3 minutes total).

Proceed with the Ritual
After you feel relaxed and centered, you can move into the next steps of the cleansing and protection process.
