It is the gateway for energy between the lower parts of the body and the head and is guided by principles of expression and communication. Through the throat, sound is propagated into the air and its vibration can be felt not only in our ears but in our whole body. Vishuddha helps us harmoniously attune to these inner and outer vibrations.

Lapis Lazuli

Say yes to self-awareness and climb out of the shadows of suppression when you get it into your life. This healing crystal brings its rich shades of blue and regal flecks of golden pyrite to remind you of your worth. It’s an incredible stone for bringing out that stashed self-knowledge that leads to authenticity and the freedom to live in your truth. If you struggle to put yourself out there, if your confidence has been cut, then bringing the healing power into your daily life can be a complete game-changer. As it’s a stone that encourages self-expression and invites you to speak the truth, this makes it an amazing tool for bonding relationships and forging close-knit friendships with those who can serve the true you. Being able to speak our truth is one of the most important things we can do to raise the vibrations of our soul. It helps us to stand true and strong in our light, it cuts down on pent-up frustration and anger, and it makes us more decisive in picking paths (both big and small) that are right for us. The truth can be tough sometimes, but it's important to turn over that stone and see what sits beneath it. Yes, you may find limitations, but you will also find an incredible chance for growth and glory. It reminds us not to be afraid.
