Emotional Healing
Lapis Lazuli can help you to understand when you are not seeing reality clearly. We are all subject to having our perceptions skewed by past experiences such as trauma, major hits to the ego, or even really positive experiences. Reality can be hard to unravel.
Lapis Lazuli can aid you in discovering when you are operating from your shadow projections. Shadow is used to describe the subconscious. When out of power, it can be really easy to allow old outmoded scripts to play out without being mindful of the actual situation. This is called projecting. Lapis can help to soothe the ego and allow clarity to become possible.
Work with Lapis Lazuli to become aware of your shadow projections:
- When someone you trust tells you that you are not witnessing yourself accurately.
- If you find yourself reacting to negative possibilities without attempting to clarify the actuality of the situation.
- If you feel like your emotional response is way bigger than you would have expected in the situation.
Being able to examine the narratives that define your reality and choosing more empowering stories are both easier when working with Lapis Lazuli. Work with this stone to clarify your vision and empower your ability to direct your emotional energy towards your goals.
Work with Lapis Lazuli to improve your objectivity and willingness to entertain multiple perspectives:
- In order to improve your relationships.
- If you work in a helping profession like counseling, medicine, or law enforcement.
- When negotiating anything with another human being.
Physical Healing
Lapis Lazuli is less indicated for physical healing than many other stones. The most practical and concrete use for this metaphysical powerhouse is assistance in accepting personal responsibility for the narratives that dictate your life.
Magical Uses
Lapis Lazuli really shines in the category of magical uses. This is a great stone for anyone seeking to develop their intuition, psychic abilities, or precognition. Meditation with Lapis Lazuli can clarify visions or provide a greater understanding of synchronicity.
Work with Lapis Lazuli to unlock and enhance latent psychic talents:
- To improve your ability to recognize and interpret the synchronicities of your life.
- If you experience precognition and want to develop this ability further.
- To explore any extrasensory perception or powers to which you feel drawn.
Past life regressions and interdimensional travel are both easier to navigate and more likely to be successful when working with Lapis Lazuli. Meditate with your stone to charge your connection with it, and then simply maintain its presence in your auric field during use for these purposes.
Work with Lapis Lazuli to enhance spiritual travel:
- When you want to learn to astral project.
- If you want more control over your lucid dreams.

Sodalite, mica, dolomite, diopside, and a variety of other minerals may also be present. Each mineral has its own hardness within a single specimen of Lapis Lazuli.
In Afghanistan, there is evidence of mining for Lapis that dates back 7000 years. Ancient people used Lapis as beads, jewelry, pigmentation, and as eyeshadow. It has been found in pharaoh’s tombs and as ornamentation in other ancient structures built for the powerful and wealthy.
