Silver Sheen Obsidan Laughing Buddha~CRSSOLB2. Silver Sheen Obsidian displays a silver-gray iridescent sheen when polished and viewed in strong light, caused by gas bubbles aligning across the layers during formation. It is believed to bring advantage throughout life. It improves perception, sharpens the senses and intellect, promotes articulate communication to others, and helps keep personal likes and dislikes from affecting rational decision-making. A perfect tool for gazing, Silver Sheen Obsidian adds the mystery of lunar energies in its ability to mirror the inner being. It helps us to understand our behaviors and to refine undesirable traits, enhancing patience and perseverance when needed. It is a marvelous stone for out-of-body journeying as it provides a strong connection between the physical and astral bodies, and assures a safe soul return. It is a soothing, protective stone for those of us who have issues with a possessive parent or partner, or who need help keeping firm boundaries. Coming from the root of the Earth, Obsidian creates an energetic connection from the Root chakra at the base of the spine all the way down to Earth's core, and up through ones chakra system, connecting to lunar and extraterrestrial energies as well. These lunar energies can activate the Third Eye chakra bringing a more complete awareness of the world, how its systems work, and aids in the process of gathering and dissecting knowledge. The Laughing Buddha emerged from Chinese folktales of the 10th century. The original stories of the Laughing Buddha centered on a Ch'an monk named Ch'i-t'zu, or Qieci, from Fenghua, in what is now the province of Zhejiang. Ch'i-t'zu was an eccentric but much-loved character who worked small wonders, such as predicting the weather. Chinese history assigned the date of 907-923 CE to Ch't'zu's life, which means he lived considerably later than the historical Shakyamuni, the true Buddha. One of the best feng shui locations for a Laughing Buddha is close to the front door so that you can see it as you come home. Laughing Buddha is considered to be a patron of children. Laughing Buddha is used in feng shui to bring good luck, abundance, happiness, success, good health; any feng shui bagua area can benefit from the sparkling energy of the Laughing Buddha. 62mm x 35mm x 47mm
