Stone of Centering and Change

Snowflake obsidian is an excellent aid and support for first recognizing, and subsequently letting go of, negative thoughts. By negative thoughts, I mean wrong thoughts and repetitive, deeply rooted patterns that limit us. All this is to promote rapid change. The stone works on helping us stay centered and feel inner balance.

Another characteristic of the stone is its ability to bring everything that is being held back to the surface, which in turn causes stress and inner imbalance. Suppressed emotions and thoughts are gently helped to emerge in the most beneficial way for the person. After all, we must remember that we are talking about a stone associated with serenity and purity, and therefore it could never cause harm.

Stone of Protection and Healing

It is also a wonderful stone for protection against physical and emotional harm, as it creates a shield against negativity by transforming and purifying negative vibrations within the spaces where we live. We can truly consider it a “cleaner” of negative energies, as it helps remove not only negativity from the environment, but also that associated with our own emotions, such as anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, envy, etc., by strengthening emotional stability. This gives it the ability to keep our emotions balanced, preventing “wild” mood swings that destabilize ourselves and those around us. Carrying or wearing Obsidian helps us disperse those unkind thoughts that arise from within and reverberate outward into the world and onto the people around us.

It is very useful in all healing processes, as it helps 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 toward this end.

Snowflake Obsidian and Physical Disorders

Physically, the stone acts on the vascular system, improving blood flow and working very well on veins and capillaries. Improved blood circulation will help warm the hands and feet of those who suffer from chronically cold extremities. It also works on the skeletal system, smoothing the skin and supporting the healing of wounds.

Mind and Emotions

Mentally and emotionally, it drives away fears of all kinds and helps release emotional blocks and traumas. It refines the mind and relieves stress. Furthermore, it is an excellent means of materializing and making ideas and projects tangible.

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