Guided Practice Throat Chakra
Lapis Lazuli Protection Practice
A guided practice for speaking your truth with clarity and calm, held by the deep blue of lapis lazuli.
The guided meditation is on its way
You can begin the practice below today. The video will appear right here once it's ready.
Lapis lazuli has been treasured for thousands of years, ground into the pigment of sacred art and carried as a stone of wisdom and truth. In crystal traditions it's associated with the throat chakra, the center of honest expression. This practice uses your sachet as an anchor for clear, protected communication.
Inside your sachet
Raw lapis lazuli
A stone of wisdom and truthful expression, associated with the throat chakra.
The practice
Step 1: Settle in
Find a quiet spot where you won't be interrupted for ten minutes. Sit comfortably with your feet on the floor, or lie down if that feels better today.
Step 2: Hold your sachet
Rest the sachet in your open palms, or place it gently over your throat or collarbone. Notice its weight, the texture of the cloth, and the scent of the herbs inside.
Step 3: Breathe
Close your eyes. Breathe in slowly for a count of four, hold for four, and exhale for six. Repeat this seven times, letting each exhale soften your shoulders and jaw.
Step 4: Visualize
Bring your attention to the base of your throat. Picture a soft deep blue light gathering around the lapis lazuli and spreading outward until it surrounds you completely.
Step 5: Speak your affirmation
Say your affirmation aloud three times, slowly: "My voice is clear, my truth is protected, and I speak from a calm and honest heart." Let the words settle into your body before moving on.
Step 6: Close the practice
Take one more deep breath, open your eyes, and place your sachet where you'll see or carry it today. Return to this practice whenever you need to come back to yourself.
Your affirmation
“My voice is clear, my truth is protected, and I speak from a calm and honest heart.”
Caring for your sachet
Keep your sachet somewhere it can quietly do its work: under your pillow, in a bag you carry every day, on your altar, or near your front door.
Every new moon, hold the sachet in both hands, breathe slowly, and restate your intention. If you'd like to refresh it, leave it in moonlight overnight or pass it gently through the smoke of sage or palo santo.
When the herbs lose their scent, return them to the earth with gratitude. Keep the stone; it's yours to carry into the next practice.
