The French writer Albert Camus once
wrote, “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an
invincible summer.” In this darkest time of winter, the stone of
rainbow obsidian can remind you of that invincible summer within
yourself. Like the rainbow comes after a storm, rainbow obsidian
holds this rainbow within itself, as a promise of hope encapsulated
by the fertile darkness. This stone is useful for grounding and is a
powerful protector. It can help you touch on some of the root causes
of emotional distress. It carries you deep within yourself and aids
in shining light on different, perhaps buried, parts of oneself. This
journey is not always pleasant to begin with, but looking deep into
oneself bears the fruit of true understanding and peace that cannot
come without an earnest and determined search.
Use this stone as an ally in this dark
months, to dig deep and find your inner rainbow.
“Rainbow Obsidian helps one take the
downward journey to unexpected Light. One often expects the spiritual
Light to be found above, in one's flights towards Heaven, but for
most human beings it's impossible to escape the prisons of one's own
wounded psyche without going down. This journey into the depths is as
amazing as it is necessary. As one descends, one finds the forgotten
pieces of oneself that have been left behind at each wounding.
Reclaiming the parts and continuing downward, one may experience more
emptiness and deeper darkness before suddenly bursting into Light at
the very nadir of the descent.” - Robert Simmons
