A powerful crystal pairing to encourage union and balance of our yin-yang energies, our masculine and feminine - divine union.
Divine union exists in all things, not just in romantic relationships, this is part of it but not the whole picture, true union starts within, with a balancing of our own yin-yang energies.
Let us start with Lapis Lazuli. A stone of truth, integrity, honour, and enlightenment. A highly protective stone.
It works with the throat chakra to encourage clear and centered speech; it highlights ‘the power of the word’ and works with our higher mind to activate clarity and objectivity.
Lapis enhances spiritual power and activates and balances our third eye chakra which is responsible for our mood, our thoughts, sleep, and our connection to the divine. It rules the pituitary gland and the neurons in our brain. If this chakra is imbalanced, we find that we have poor sleep patterns, and negative thoughts, we may feel alone, depressed, or unmotivated and feel that we are without a connection to a higher power. Lapis works closely with the air element, helping to facilitate clear and balanced thoughts, it also works with the element of water, encouraging greater flow and intuition. Lapis supports positive magic and psychic abilities.
It is a stone of action, and for this reason it works to encourage healthy masculine dynamics within. It teaches us how to take charge of our lives and shows us the path to integrity by revealing inner truth. It builds healthy yang energetics and encourages us to express ourselves in an honest, authentic, and compassionate way.
Black Moonstone Is a stone of new beginnings, it works closely with our feminine energy, that of receptivity, creation and fertility and helps to balance and stabilise our emotions. On a physical level it supports our digestive, and reproductive systems. It works closely with the sacral chakra, which is responsible for flow, creativity, desire, and sex drive. If unbalanced it leads to a lack of flow and poor digestion of food, thoughts, and emotions.
Black Moonstone helps to calm emotions and release the charge related to any emotional triggers. It helps to move us forward like Lapis, but in a nurturing and gentle way, showing us what we may have shunned or shammed within ourselves, what we may have deemed unlovable about ourselves. It helps to engage empathy and strengthens the connection to our intuition so that we can feel and sense truth. Especially as this relates to our own lovability.
Black moonstone encourages our psychic sense, especially clairvoyance. It works with the element of water, encouraging flow, and brings us to a place where we can navigate change and accept new beginnings. Like Lapis, it also works with the element of air to enhance mental agility and helps to soothe and calm the mind. Black Moonstone has an iridescent quality to it, the stone itself often contains rainbows which symbolise hope, luck, and new beginnings.
As you can see there are similarities or complementary energies between these gems. I see Lapis as the masculine counterpart to Black Moonstone which is inherently feminine. They work together to create harmony and balance within.
Both crystals enhance awareness, they shed light on our thoughts and emotional content. Black Moonstone helps to make conscious what is unconscious, and Lapis highlights mental patterns. They both work to release stress, tension, and depression.
Another commonality is protection, Lapis works to block psychic attack and Black Moonstone helps to camouflage us, deflecting negative energy.
Both gems encourage determination, focus, empathy, and compassion. Lapis works closely with the third eye chakra and Black Moonstone the sacral. These chakras have a special link, the sacral needs the third eye to help with vision for creativity and desire for intimacy, as the third eye governs our sight and our mood. Both stones enhance psychic perception, Lapis stimulates enlightenment while Black Moonstone works to encourage clairvoyance. Black Moonstone encourages lucid dreams while Lapis Lazuli encourages dream work, and dream re-call, both helping to get us in touch with our subconscious.
This is a winning combination for inner balance and harmony. If you are looking to build a strong foundation, or healthy, balanced, and harmonious relationships then this crystal pairing will support you to do so. It will help you to identify what is no longer serving your highest expression and lovingly release it.
I would recommend this crystal pairing to anyone who is ready for a new beginning, especially if you have found yourself holding back out of fear or uncertainty. This paring will help to move you forward, to a life that is full, balanced, and joyful.
