Lapis Brings Focus - Lapis (the deep blue kind) allows you to perceive emotional issues more clearly. Now, that does not mean it helps calm them or affect the type of emotions. It allows you to see them for what they are, clearly. Kind of like putting on glasses when one cannot see. It takes away the blur. ~Whitehorse woman

It helps you to connect to the Higher Self. It helps to organize and quieten the mind and also brings self expressions, helps with dream insights, writing and creativity. It's a cooling stone, by this I mean it helps to draw fevers out of the body. It calms the nervous system, helps with anxiety and insomnia. It can sooth autism.
