Lapis Lazuli Metaphysical Healing Properties
Lapis Lazuli is considered to be a very protective stone and accounts of it being used as a protection talisman are recorded throughout history and still used today. It also helps to open up your Throat Chakra so that you can better communicate and use the spoken word to your best advantage. It assists you to be more aware of who you are and what you want out of any given situation, and at the same time allows you to see the other side of the situation with acceptance, understanding, and compassion. It allows you to release any blockages that you might have particularly around the areas of martyrdom, suffering, and cruelty. Lapis helps to activate your pineal gland and by doing this opens up your intuition and psychic ability by making your connection to the spirit realm stronger.
