This Mala was designed to restore balance to the Fifth Chakra (Vishuddha in Sanskrit) through the power of Lapis Lazuli. The Fifth Chakra is located at the center of the throat, where communication, self-expression, giving and receiving, verbal sharing, and artistic, literary, and musical creativity reside. This is where professionalism is expressed, and the desire to grow and improve in one’s career emerges. Lapis Lazuli helps with sore throat, thyroid dysfunction, respiratory problems (asthma, cough, etc.), oral issues, ear infections, and labyrinthitis. It is very beneficial for those who fear criticism and don’t know how to cope with it, those lacking self-esteem at work, or fearing failure and misunderstanding due to communication difficulties — including people who tend to lie or avoid contact with others to prevent rejection.
It is important to purify Lapis Lazuli frequently using a Quartz or Amethyst cluster, smudging with incense and white sage, or exposing the stones to full moonlight.
