The Lapis Lazuli crystal stone is connected to the solar plexus chakra and the third eye chakra. When these two energy centers are in harmony, it merges your personal desires with divine will. Integrating the Lapis Lazuli crystal stone meaning into your daily life will empower you to shine your light into the world with confidence and authenticity.
