Chakra

Third Eye - Throat 

Lapis Lazuli works on aligning the higher mind chakra known as the Third eye. This is our chakra of perception and intuition, home to our consciousness. By activating this chakra a person will sense a feeling of awareness to the world. This chakra stimulates the desire to further understand the world, how its systems work, and aids in the process of gathering and dissecting knowledge. When in balance, this chakra allows us to control the flow of energy within our bodies, while keeping us observant and reflective. 

The throat chakra is amongst the most important because it aids in the release of energy from other chakras in the body to be expressed through the throat by speaking one's truth. When blocked, it will affect not only the throat area, but any other area where energy is being held back and not spoken. When in balance, there is no energy stagnation so the mind, body, and spirit are all in harmony resulting in a feeling of serenity, and flow.
