What is Lapis Lazuli good for?
Lapis Lazuli is a stunningly rich, deep blue stone and can be flecked with gold and/or white and black. It can have a veined appearance or slightly mottled effect depending on each individual stone.
At BBHQ, we have several pieces of lapis, and here is our newest acquisition, which was acquired a few weeks ago when the P.A. visited a gem show nearby. The P.A. really liked this stone as it reminded her of a sandy beach and deep blue ocean.
Here's a little about the gem lore for lapis lazuli; being a blue stone, it is ideal for the throat chakra, although it is reputed to be excellent for opening the third eye chakra, which is located mid-eyebrows and up a tad. It is said to facilitate psychic abilities, enhance dream work and assists in stimulating spiritual power.
Apparently, it is renowned for its protective properties and can assist against psychic attacks, and no the P.A. didn't have many crystals back in the day when she experienced a ghostly encounter.
It is also said to harmonise and balance the spiritual, emotional and physical planes to create uplifted feelings. It can facilitate freer expression of words and thought if used on the throat chakra and helps with creativity. So, if mew're struggling with any blocks in those areas, this may be a crystal to try.
Lapis is a supurr crystal, and there is loads more info online to discover regarding the various healing and beneficial properties. And there are lots of different jewellery designs available such as rings, pendants, bracelets and earrings etc.

Anyhoo, we do hope mew've all had a totally pawesome weekend, and that mew're ready for the week ahead, so let's jump right in and start as always with our little breathing exercise, which we're sure mew all have down paw by now... but if mew've forgotten, stop what mew're doing for a moment and take deep fulfilling breaths- counting to five on the inhale and five on the exhale:
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe out
