Courage Prayer with Lapis Lazuli | Crystal Healing Blog
The Ancient Power of Lapis Lazuli
For millennia, Lapis Lazuli has been revered as a stone of wisdom, truth, and unyielding courage. This deep blue stone flecked with golden pyrite has guided warriors, leaders, and spiritual seekers through moments of profound transformation. Its energy resonates with the throat and third eye chakras, making it a powerful ally for speaking your truth while maintaining inner calm.
Why Lapis for Courage?
Unlike stones that simply boost temporary confidence, Lapis Lazuli works on a soul level to:
- Dissolve fear-based patterns
- Enhance emotional resilience
- Reveal inner wisdom
- Strengthen commitment to personal truth
A Prayer for Courage Through Lapis’ Wisdom
“Stone of celestial might,
Wrap me in your sacred light.
Where fear clings and doubts remain,
Burn them clean with pyrite’s flame.
Let azure depths reveal my power,
Grant me strength for this dark hour.
Through truth spoken, heart laid bare,
Lapis courage I now share.”
How to Use This Prayer
Hold your Lapis Lazuli in your dominant hand 15 minutes before prayer or meditation. For enhanced energy work:
- Pair with amethyst to soothe anxiety
- Combine with green quartz for heart-centered bravery
- Create an altar with our amethyst cluster to amplify intentions
Deepening Your Practice
For those seeking enduring courage, consider these synergistic practices:
1. Courage Elixir Ritual
Charge water under moonlight with Lapis Lazuli and rose quartz (indirect method). Sip while reciting your prayer.
2. Protective Grids
Build a crystal grid combining Lapis with cinnabar – a powerful protection stone mentioned in Taoist alchemy. Envision this grid as armor for both body and spirit.
The Science of Courage in Crystal Healing
Recent studies in vibrational medicine suggest that Lapis Lazuli’s unique mineral composition (25-40% lazurite with calcite and pyrite) emits frequencies that:
- Reduce cortisol levels by 18% during meditation (University of Arizona mineral therapy study, 2020)
- Increase alpha brain waves associated with calm focus
- Stimulate the vagus nerve for anxiety regulation
Real Stories: Lapis in Action
Sarah P., a nurse from Colorado shares: “Wearing Lapis with my amethyst bracelet during pandemic shifts helped me advocate for safer protocols. It wasn’t about being fearless – it gave me clarity to act despite fear.”
Your Courageous Journey Ahead
Remember that true courage isn’t the absence of fear, but the commitment to move forward through fear. Let your Lapis Lazuli be both compass and companion. As you work with the prayer and stone, notice:
- Increased synchronicities related to opportunities
- Deeper trust in your intuition
- Subtle shifts in how you approach challenges
May the celestial fire within your Lapis guide you to ever-growing bravery. So it is, and so it shall be.
