It helps you free yourself from daily disharmonies, resentment, anger, and fear. An excellent anti-stress. When you work on yourself to let go of certain negative feelings, make sure you always have obsidian with you.

Thanks to this stone, you can better overcome shocks, great fears, and past traumas that prevent you from evolving, forcing you to stagnate in beliefs that only hurt you.

Benefits for the body

It is used in crystal therapy against physical pain in any area of the body. It accelerates the healing of a wound by stimulating tissue regeneration. It also seems to stimulate blood circulation, which is why it is recommended if you suffer from always cold hands and feet. However, its use at a physical level is rather limited. Although obsidian is a stone that vibrates in relation to the first chakra and therefore has rather earthy energies, its task is to help us above all from a spiritual and energetic point of view.

Benefits for the spirit

It protects you from negativity. And it is perfect during grounding because it allows for better contact with the Earth. Its vibrations are excellent and can be perceived even with short use. Obviously, depending on the type of obsidian you have, the properties change. However, the entire family of these volcanic stones has several points in common.

Obsidian in different parts of the world has been used by shamans to come into contact with the spirit world. Thanks to its high vibrations, it favors spiritual contact even with the spirit guide. It is said that, by looking inside a piece of opaque obsidian, it is possible to see images of deceased loved ones.

While on one hand obsidian helps to come into contact with these energies, also stimulating the gift of prophecy, on the other hand it also acts as a protective amulet. It helps to understand the deep meaning of this life, to find the answers we are looking for.

Benefits at the energetic level

In crystal therapy, obsidian performs the function of an energetic cleanser. It works on the aura of the human body to clean it from any blockages. In practice, it allows you to eliminate impurities and negativities fixed in the auric field, helping you to find your spiritual, physical, and emotional health again.

It vibrates in correspondence with the first chakra. Its energy helps you stay grounded. All the energies present in your body in too massive a way (cause of blockages), thanks to obsidian, can be redistributed and those in excess flow away through the first chakra during grounding.

Mythology of obsidian

The name obsidian derives from that of Obsius. According to Pliny, this man discovered the stone in Ethiopia. It is one of the oldest stones, it was used in the Stone Age to create ritualistic tools. It was believed capable of defeating demons. Maya priests used it to read the future while in the Middle Ages it was often the protagonist of magical rituals. For centuries, shamans from various parts of the world have used this stone to come into contact with spirits.

Stone of Centering and Change

Snowflake obsidian is an excellent aid and support for recognizing, first of all, and subsequently releasing negative thoughts. By negative thoughts, I mean wrong thoughts and repetitive, deep-seated patterns that limit us. All this is to promote rapid change. The stone works specifically on being centered, on feeling inner balance.

Another characteristic of the stone is that it brings to the surface everything that is held back and thus causes stress and inner imbalance. Suppressed emotions and thoughts are helped to emerge with extreme gentleness and in the most beneficial way for the person; let us not forget, after all, that we are talking about a stone linked to serenity and purity, and therefore it could never cause harm.

Stone of Protection and Healing

It is also a wonderful stone of protection against physical and emotional harm, as it creates a shield against negativity by transforming and purifying negative vibrations within the environments in which we live. We can truly consider it a “detergent” for negative energies, as it helps to remove, as we said, not only negativity in the environment, but also that linked to one's own emotions, such as anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, envy, etc., by strengthening emotional stability. This results in the ability to keep one's emotions in balance, avoiding “wild” mood swings that destabilize ourselves and those around us. Carrying or wearing Obsidian helps us to disperse those unkind thoughts that arise from within and reverberate outward into the world and onto the people who surround us.

It is very useful in all healing processes, as it helps to clarify the cause of the illness or disorder. In this way, it promotes subsequent improvement and makes us more receptive to the healing energies needed to create the right positive attitude in this regard.

Snowflake Obsidian and Physical Disorders

At a physical level, the stone acts on the vascular system, improving blood flow and working very well on veins and capillaries. The improvement in blood circulation will help warm the hands and feet of those who are chronically cold. It also works on the skeletal system, on the skin, making it smooth, and supports the healing of wounds.

Mind and Emotions

At a mental and emotional level, it drives away fears of all kinds and helps to release emotional blocks and traumas. It refines the mind and drives away stress. Furthermore, it is an excellent means of materializing and making ideas and projects tangible.

It also helps us to bring out and see our shadow sides in their true nature so that they can become part of our new self.

Bits of History and Legends

Snowflake obsidian chips and blades have been found in burial sites dating back to the Paleolithic. Over time, it was considered a stone that had the power to drive away demons. In the Middle Ages, it was used as an aid and support for magical rituals. Mayan Priests used mirrors made of this stone to predict the future. Shamans used it to come into contact with the spirit world. Every wizard worth their salt had an obsidian stone that allowed them to concentrate astral forces.
