Lapis Lazuli reminds us of the power of the spoken word and is one of the best stones to use when opening and balancing the Throat Chakra. Lapis Lazuli helps to foster full verbal expression, and clears problems caused by “swallowing your tongue”. Lapis encourages clear, truthful expression when sharing information with others, including an easier voicing/communication of anger.
A Third Eye Chakra opener, Lapis Lazuli connects the physical and celestial kingdoms. Deeply peaceful, Lapis provides wisdom into mystical realms and connection with spiritual guardians. Lapis can be a key to spiritual attainment. Lapis is a good stone to expand intuitive skills while remaining objective and open to reasoned analysis. Lapis also protects against psychic attack, shielding negative energy and returning any negative vibrations to their source.
Lapis Lazuli is wonderful for assisting in openness, inner power, love, and purification. It strengthens the mind and body. Lapis allows us to tap in to our own inner power while purifying the soul and thoughts.
Lapis Lazuli will enhance dream work and spiritual journeying.
