Lapis Lazuli is a natural magnifier of psychic abilities, allowing you to communicate at new depths with the higher self. This lovely blue stone also inspires one to greater heights of creative expression, and its relaxing effect seems particularly helpful to the nocturnal. Lapis Lazuli is a unique combination of darkness and light, its deep blue color which sparkles with gold pyrite a symbol for a night sky alight with stars. The Lapis journey is one of going into our own mysteries, into the illusions which we have accepted as reality. The reward for choosing to go into this darkness is symbolized by the golden light which shines in lapis' deep blue sky. Lapis Lazuli serves to penetrate through psychic blockages to reveal inner truth. It assists with the growth of interpersonal relationships. Lapis was used extensively in ancient Egypt. It was used by ancient healers as an energy stone to strengthen the mind and prepare the body for spiritual awareness. This stone is commonly included with white calcite or golden pyrite, both helping it to integrate the indigo energy into the body. Some have even stated that this stone has links to the energy of the Pyramids and ancient secret of Egypt. It is a receptive stone that was associated with Isis (an ancient Egyptian goddess). Its beautiful blue hue is associated with Kings and Queens. Lapis Lazuli has been highly prized as an ornamental stone for over 6000 years. Perhaps because deep blue Lapis with its flakes of golden Pyrite resembles an evening sky dotted with sparkling stars, it was long regarded as a cure for melancholy (the "blues"), and as an amulet against the spirits of darkness. The cultures of ancient Mesopotamia traded Lapis Lazuli far and wide, regarding it at least as highly as gold. The Egyptians were equally as fond of the stone and nobles such as King Tutankhamen were interred with great stores of Lapis Lazuli goods. This stone can help balance emotions and allow you to perceive emotional issues more clearly. It increases the conscious awareness of your emotional experiences.
