Therapeutic Properties of Lapis Lazuli

From Antiquity, lapis lazuli was believed to ward off evils from the wearer. Hindus believe that if children wore Lapis Lazuli strung on gold wire it will protect them from all manners of evils, including night frights. Egyptians wore powdered Lapis on the eyes to improve eyesight. To ancient Sumerians, carrying a piece of Lapis, meant carrying a piece of the Gods.

Lapis had traditionally been associated with motherhood and motherly love. Christians associated Lapis with the Virgin Mary and Jesus. In Egypt, it was associated with Isis and her child Horus.

Natural healers and gem therapists use Lapis lazuli as an aid to balancing the brow chakra. This chakra influences vision and hearing. Imbalances of the brow chakra are said to cause headaches, anxiety and disorders of the skin. Lapis is an important gemstone in subduing an overactive 6th Chakra. This gemstone is also believed to stimulate creativity.

In addition to all these powerful properties of Lapis, it is also said to help you understand your mind. It expands your viewpoint. It gives
you wisdom and fairness and increase your spiritual love. It will bring peace and soothe
depression.

Wear lapis over the heart. It helps connecting the heart and the mind.
