Black obsidian is a form of lava and can be traced back over 6,000 years ago to when it was polished to use as a mirror. This protective and grounding stone still functions as a mirror of sorts, it allows it's user to "see" previous versions of themselves. It brings about an understanding of how past lives affect the current. It's mirror like properties also aid in making the shadow side more visible, so that it can be accepted into the self, creating balance within. Excellent choice for light workers, empaths or anyone needing to cleanse the energetic "smog" that can build up in the aura. Being in tense or high stress environments creates a sort of heaviness that leaves you feeling drained, tired, or irritable. Keeping black obsidian near you will lift this fog and help restore energy and optimism. When looking for a stone to assist you in cutting physical or energetic ties to negative people, places or things, black obsidian is the answer.
