Spiritual Healing Properties
Onyx teaches us the importance of self-mastery, or the ability to harness our own strength and focus, in the pursuit of our most important goals. It is a wonderfully grounding, cantering, and balancing stone for anyone with great spiritual aspirations, as self-mastery is one of the most important aspects of self-realization. Attaining Enlightenment, or any other high spiritual state, takes enormous dedication and a willingness to look deeply at ourselves and our world. Onyx provides that strength, and also the steadiness of vision to see the truth and align ourselves accordingly. Onyx also provides a deep root connection, allowing us to draw energy from the wider world and universe to augment our own energy pools.
Emotional Healing Properties
Onyx has a very calming energy, which can help to reduce anxiety and grief. It promotes self-confidence, self-control, and independence. Onyx can help us to logically work through our emotions, particularly negative emotions like fear or anger. It can show us the root cause behind our unhappiness and the simple solutions to most problems. These solutions are simple on the surface, but often require dedicated work on our part. Onyx provides us with strength and determination so we can do what is necessary. Onyx is also a fantastic stone for conflict resolution, as its energy encourages us to sit in non-judgment, carefully listening to both sides of an argument and assessing the facts, before coming to any conclusions.
Mental Healing Properties
Onyx is an excellent tool for students and anyone who is actively learning new information or a new skill set. It stimulates logical, analytical thinking and the ability to see connections and arrive at accurate conclusions. Onyx is also particularly helpful when we need to take a closer look at our own life and make some wise decisions. It helps us to realistically examine our actions and beliefs, and determine what course of action will best serve our own Highest Good. Onyx reminds us to stay focused on the things that are inside our circle of control and to not waste precious energy complaining about those things which we cannot control. If our hearts are set on making a difference, then Onyx can show us how to get involved and expand our circle of influence.
Physical Healing Properties
Onyx has been used for centuries to ease childbirth and hasten labour. Today, it is widely used by metaphysical healers to treat conditions in the feet and lower half of the body. It is also believed to significantly increase endurance and physical strength, making it an excellent talisman for athletes, particularly anyone training for marathons, triathlons, and other demanding competitions. Onyx is also said to be a good stone for anyone needing to regain their physical vigour, for instance, after suffering a chronic illness or major health crisis.
