There are a number of different types of Obsidian, all of which are strongly protective stones. Some, like Snowflake Obsidian, work in a gentler manner, and others, like Black Obsidian in particular, can be sometimes harsh in their ability to cut through what needs to be removed and left behind, so must be used with care.
Obsidian is a form of volcanic glass, and produces a shield against any sort of negativity, be-it blocking psychic attack; absorbing negative energies from the environment, or drawing out mental stress and tension from the mind and body.
It is hugely stimulating in terms of generating growth on all levels, urging us to go deep within and pull out what is no longer required, before branching out into the unknown and exploring new frontiers. It is thus excellent at bringing clarity to the mind and helps to clear away confusion. It helps you realise who you really are: a spiritual being having a human experience, and puts troubles and blocks into perspective, by enabling us to dissolve emotional blockages and ancient traumas, even from past lives. It promotes the qualities of strength and compassion, and aids us to detox our bodies physically as well as mentally, thus also helping our digestive system to come back into a state of balance, too. It has also been know the help to reduce arthritis pain, joint problems and cramps, as well as warming the extremities. Key words associated with all types of Obsidian are:-
Snowflake Obsidian's specific qualities:- When placed on the Sacral Chakra, it brings peace and calm to the body and mind. It then allows you to gently look at patterns of behaviour, which would be best to leave behind as they no longer serve you It also teaches us that we can learn from our mistakes as well as our successes and that both are equally important. It is a stone of purity, and allows you to let go of “wrong thinking” and stressful mental patterns. It allows you to attain inner centring and balance, clearing the mind of extraneous thoughts, so that deep calm can lead to effortless meditation. Additional healing: treats veins and the skeleton, benefiting the circulation. The elixir is good for the skin and eyes.
The piece I work with is this exquisite Snowflake Obsidian Toad! It is both magical, as well as gentle, and is so tactile to hold!
It can also be used on its own, in gem elixir form, as part of a Bespoke Preparation, or in conjunction with other gem; flower and herbal elixirs that you feel drawn to.
