Benefits of working with Crystals and Gemstones, Lapis Lazuli “the magical stone”.

Working with Crystals, is such a wonderful way to heal the body. Each crystal is unique and was formed over millions of years, slowly growing into now a beautiful gem or stone. I love all stones and crystals, Lapis being one of them. Lapis is typically found in limestone, in and around the area of what is now Afghanistan. It was treasured by ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt , China, Greece and Rome. It was valued for it color at the time, and the valuable ultramarine dye that was derived from it. The stone itself is formed from multiple minerals, mostly Lazurite, Sodalite, Calcite and Pyrite and has a rich medium to dark royal blue look with gold specks created from Pyrite.. Worn by royalty and those of nobility as an indication of status with the Gods, it was considered to be a stone of great value, representing great power and wisdom. It is said to stimulate the third eye, and enhance psychic abilities, psychic protection, healing, wisdom, deepens ones connection to the higher realms, guides and spirit world.

As a healer I love this stone to meditate with and have used it often when placed on the third eye to assist in opening and clearing the mind and body. I have also used this in conjunction when wanting to manifest abundance and when wanting to connect to the Goddess Isis.

I am always very free flowing when it comes with working with crystals, not necessarily following any particular path. I spend time with the stones I choose, and sit with them long before I work with them, so that I may gain a deeper understanding of how the stone will work for me as well as others. Our bodies love stones and crystals, due to the frequency naturally omitted by the stone. Experiment yourself and you will find you love Lapis!
