A Letter to My Past Self: Healing with Lapis Lazuli | Crystal Wisdom

There’s a quiet power in revisiting the chapters of our lives—those moments of joy, pain, and transformation that shaped who we are. Today, we explore a sacred ritual: writing a letter to an older version of yourself while holding Lapis Lazuli, the ancient stone of wisdom and truth. Whether you’re new to crystal healing or a seasoned practitioner, this practice invites deep emotional release and profound self-compassion.

Why Lapis Lazuli? The Stone of Inner Sovereignty

Lapis Lazuli has been revered for millennia, from the pharaohs of Egypt to modern energy workers. Its deep celestial blue, speckled with golden pyrite, symbolizes the union of cosmic insight and earthly clarity. Metaphysically, it activates the throat chakra and third eye, bridging honest communication with intuitive knowing. When held during introspection, it helps:

• Unearth repressed emotions or unspoken truths
• Strengthen self-awareness and accountability
• Release old narratives of shame or self-doubt

The Art of Letter Writing as Spiritual Medicine

Words carry energy, and when infused with intention, they become catalysts for healing. Writing to your past self is an act of reconciliation—a way to honor your journey while releasing what no longer serves you. Lapis Lazuli acts as a bridge here, grounding your emotions while encouraging radical honesty.

Preparing Your Sacred Space

Begin by cleansing your Lapis Lazuli under moonlight or with sage. Light a candle, sit comfortably, and place the stone over your heart or throat. Breathe deeply, allowing its energy to dissolve mental barriers. You might also wear a Bodhi Mala Necklace to stabilize your focus during this meditative practice.

A Guided Framework for Your Letter

Let the stone’s energy flow through your pen. There’s no "wrong" way to structure this, but here’s a template to awaken inspiration:

1. Acknowledge Their Strength

"Dear [Your Name at XX Years Old],
I see how hard you worked to survive. When you felt alone during [specific event], you didn’t realize how brave you were..."

2. Speak the Unspoken

Use Lapis Lazuli’s throat-chakra energy to voice what you couldn’t back then: fears, regrets, or hidden hopes.

3. Bless Their Journey

End with gratitude: "Thank you for enduring, because every step led us here. You are worthy, then and now."

Sealing the Ritual: Integration & Release

After writing, press the Lapis Lazuli against the letter. Visualize its golden flecks transmuting pain into wisdom. You may burn or bury the letter as a symbolic release, or keep it in a memory box with a cleansing crystal like selenite.

As you close this chapter, remember: the person you’re writing to is still within you—worthy of kindness, understanding, and infinite growth. Lapis Lazuli’s timeless energy is here to remind you of that truth, always.
