Negative Experiences with Lapis Lazuli

[CrystalGuard]

Hey everyone! So, I’ve recently started getting into using crystals, and it’s been a really interesting journey. Most of the ones I’ve tried so far have been positive experiences for me. Like, Blue Chalcedony and African Turquoise have been awesome, especially the latter for keeping me grounded. But, there’s this one crystal that’s kind of throwing me off—Lapis Lazuli.

I’ve used Lapis Lazuli for three nights in a row now, and each night has been filled with super vivid bad dreams. It’s weird because while I sense this strong financial energy from the crystal, there’s also this negative vibe that feels like a curse. I even feel some kind of physical relief when I take it off my body!

To try and clear up any negativity, I've given several cleansing techniques a go: sea salt water (though I stopped this since it might hurt the crystal), sunlight baths, moonlight exposure, smudging with sandalwood, and chilling it in brown rice. The brown rice method felt particularly calming for some reason.

I’m considering adding Black Tourmaline to my little collection next. Heard it offers great protection and could be perfect for shielding myself during spiritual growth—which sounds like exactly what I need right now!

I'm reaching out because I'm curious if anyone else has experienced anything similar with Lapis Lazuli or other crystals? Any thoughts on why this is happening or advice on what else I could try would be super appreciated! Just trying to figure out how to enjoy the benefits without these spooky side effects! Thanks in advance for any help you can share!

So, I've been exploring crystals and their cleansing methods lately. You know, it's not really the methods that matter so much, but understanding their effects is key. For instance, salt water is great for clearing out negativity. The catch? It carries this Rajas energy, which isn't exactly pure.

When it comes to programming crystals, I’ve found that using something like brown rice or incense smoke really works better. These methods feel more natural and effective afterward.

I've got to mention my experience with Lapis Lazuli too. Honestly, I'm not impressed. I feel like it gets way too much hype. Sure, it looks nice, but I've noticed that it can lose some color if you put it in water. Plus, some pieces might even be dyed to look better than they truly are!

Now give me Rose Quartz any day! I've had better luck with Black Tourmaline as well. Also, shapes matter in my practice—spheres and Linga Stones are my go-tos for chakra work. They just seem to resonate better for me! What about you all? Any favorite stones or tips out there?

I’ve been checking out this book called "Crystal Energy" by Mary Lambert, and wow, it’s caught my attention!

I got it at 'The Works' about a month before Christmas. There’s a page that talks about Lepidolite and how it can help with nightmares!

And get this—Amethyst, Purple Fluorite, and Lapis Lazuli are also mentioned as helpers. Pretty cool, right?

Hey everyone! I wanted to share some of my experiences with Lapis Lazuli and the wild ride it’s taken me on with cleansing and using crystals.

So, first off, let’s talk about cleansing methods. I’ve tried a bunch, but honestly, sound resonance has been my go-to lately. There’s something magical about those vibrations! Also, I can’t recommend enough using incense like white sage or palo santo. Just be careful with palo santo though! It can give you a head rush if you're not used to it—trust me on that one!

Once your crystals are all cleansed, handle them often! It really helps build up that good connection with them. But here’s a tip: steer clear of putting any crystals that might have a negative vibe under your pillow or in your bedroom at first. You want to keep things positive while you’re getting settled!

I also have to mention how skeptical I am about some crystal healing books out there. Like, please take everything with a grain of salt! A lot of those authors are just looking for sales rather than providing real knowledge. Be mindful!

Now, let's get into my beliefs about healing. I’m not convinced that crystals can fix serious health issues (I definitely wouldn’t rely on them for anything major), but I do think that our mental and energetic states can reflect on our physical health in some way. So, some little good vibes from crystals? Sure thing!

These days, I'm really into larger raw pieces and unique specimens. They just seem to bring more interesting energy into my space, and it's so much fun to see how they affect the vibe of a room!

Finally, when it comes to picking out crystals, I totally base my choices on color instead of sticking strictly to chakra color guides. I even use this cool color healing card pack to figure out which colors I'm missing in my life! That approach has worked wonders for me without piling on too much pressure about what “should” happen.

So yeah, that's my crystal journey so far with Lapis Lazuli and friends! Would love to hear your thoughts or stories too!

Lapis Lazuli is wonderful for opening and balancing your third eye chakra! Just spending 5-10 minutes a day with it can make a difference in your energy.

Be mindful, though! Some Lapis Lazuli might be man-made, which can change the vibe you feel. Always choose wisely to get the best experience.

Take care of yourself and enjoy this incredible stone. Wishing you all peace and positive energy!

Question: Have you ever wondered if there's a connection between hygiene and what you dream? By washing your hands before meals, you might reduce nightmares. Statement: It's fascinating how something as simple as handwashing can potentially influence our subconscious experiences during sleep. Personal Experience: I've noticed fewer unsettling dreams since adopting this habit. Also, many consider lapis lazuli the ultimate stone for enhancing precognitive abilities and insights.
