Lapis Lazuli is cooling, moving, and nourishing.  It purifies the blood to clear emotions and calm the mind. Lapis Lazuli promotes a sense of connection and encourages a clear voice. This stone can be grounding for someone who often runs from commitment as it affirms the intention of creating prosperity and having enough in life. Lapis Lazuli can also be held while breastfeeding to promote bonding between mother and child. It is very protective. 

Cleansing and Charging

Cleanse and recharge once a month in hematite.  It can be placed in a bed of sea salt to retain its yin.  Do not use water for cleansing; the iron can rust.
