In a world that often prioritizes perfection over authenticity, emotional bravery becomes a radical act of self-love. It’s the courage to confront vulnerability, speak your truth, and honor the depths of your inner landscape. Enter Lapis Lazuli—a stone of ancient kings and modern mystics—that invites you to explore the intersection of truth, intuition, and fearless self-expression. In this guide, we’ll walk through how to use Lapis Lazuli as a sacred prompt for journaling about emotional bravery, weaving its celestial energy into your personal growth practice.
