On a mental and emotional level
Onyx is a stone that brings stability.
A grounding stone, onyx provides self-control and a sense of responsibility, helping us to live in the present moment and remain in control of our destiny.
Used as a support stone during difficult times, it helps overcome life's challenges by providing courage and strength. It will thus give the motivation to move forward when you feel stagnant.
Onyx is also a shield that drives away evil and negative energies.
It helps to calm the mind, especially to heal old emotional and physical traumas and wounds.
However, prolonged wearing it could cause sadness, fear, boredom and gloom.
Black onyx is also not recommended for pregnant women.
On the physical level
By acting on the throat chakra, onyx affects hearing. It helps with hearing disorders, relieves ringing in the ears, and reduces tinnitus.
How to Use, Purify, and Recharge Onyx Stones
Associated with the root chakra, onyx provides grounding, self-confidence, and power.
Worn on you in the form of a bracelet or rolled stone, onyx will act on the root chakra, or even as a necklace and pendant for its action on the throat chakra.
To purify onyx, place your stone in distilled water, possibly salted if necessary, as it is a stone that can become particularly negatively charged.
Then rinse the stone and wipe it with a soft cloth.
You can also purify your stone by fumigation, by burning a bundle of white sage, incense or a stick of Palo Santo, or with the sound technique by placing the stone in a singing bowl.
Then recharge your stone by exposing it for 1 to 2 hours to the sun, to moonlight overnight, or by placing it on a quartz pile for a day.
