The New Moon’s Promise & the Power of Lapis Lazuli
The new moon is a sacred time to plant seeds of intention, release stagnation, and align with your deepest truths. As the sky darkens, we’re invited to turn inward and listen to the whispers of our soul. Paired with Lapis Lazuli—the celestial stone of wisdom and self-expression—this ritual becomes a transformative portal for clarity, healing, and spiritual growth.
Why Lapis Lazuli?
For millennia, Lapis Lazuli has been revered as a stone of royalty and divine connection. Its rich ultramarine hue, flecked with golden pyrite, symbolizes the night sky and the infinite cosmos. Metaphysically, Lapis activates the Third Eye and Throat Chakras, enhancing intuition, honest communication, and emotional liberation. It’s particularly potent for:
- Unveiling self-deception and embracing authenticity
- Releasing fear of judgment or self-expression
- Strengthening spiritual insight and psychic awareness
- Healing emotional wounds tied to truth and vulnerability
Preparing for Your Ritual
Cleansing Your Lapis Lazuli
Begin by energetically purifying your Lapis. Place it under the moonlight (even a cloudy night works) or smudge it with sage. As you cleanse, visualize old energies dissolving, making space for new vibrations.
Creating Sacred Space
Set up an altar with:
- A blue or silver candle (symbolizing moon energy)
- Frankincense or myrrh incense
- A journal and pen
- Optional: Pair your Lapis with Green Strawberry Quartz to harmonize heart-centered intentions
The Ritual: A Journey of Cosmic Alignment
Step 1: Grounding & Activation (5–10 mins)
Sit comfortably, holding your Lapis Lazuli over your Third Eye. Breathe deeply, envisioning its blue light merging with your intuition. Chant or whisper: “Wisdom flows, truth unfolds. I am open to the universe’s whispers.”
Step 2: Journaling Intentions (15 mins)
Write down what you wish to release (e.g., self-doubt, unspoken words) and what you want to manifest. Lapis encourages fearless honesty—let your pen flow without censorship. For added clarity, wear a Sapphire Bracelet (Sapphire shares Lapis’s truth-enhancing properties).
Step 3: Vocalize & Release (10 mins)
Stand under the moon (or face a window). Hold your Lapis to your throat and speak your intentions aloud. Feel the stone’s vibration empowering your voice. If tears arise, allow them—this is Lapis dissolving emotional blockages.
Step 4: Charging under the New Moon
Place your Lapis and journal on the altar overnight. As moonlight bathes them, imagine the cosmos infusing your dreams with guidance.
Post-Ritual Integration
Carry your Lapis Lazuli daily or wear it as jewelry to stay aligned with your intentions. Pair it with protective stones like Blue Tiger Eye Bracelets to maintain focus and deflect negativity.
Crystal Pairings for Enhanced Energy
Combine Lapis Lazuli with:
- Zodiac Birthstone Bracelets: Align intentions with astrological energy.
- Clear Quartz: Amplify Lapis’s visionary properties.
- Rose Quartz: Soften self-expression with compassion.
Closing Blessing
As you close your ritual, thank the moon, your Lapis Lazuli, and yourself for showing up. Trust that the seeds planted tonight will grow in divine timing. Remember: The universe always honors courage rooted in authenticity.
