Using Crystals As Feng Shui Enhancements - Lapis Lazuli

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Andrew_James_Laycock]Andrew James Laycock
Crystals make beautiful and positive enhancements to any home. In Feng Shui they are used to promote a balanced and harmonious flow of energy through the home. In this series of articles I focus on some of the most popular crystals that are used in Feng Shui and cover the different ways in which they can be used. In this article I focus on the intensely blue and beautiful Lapis Lazuli.
Lapis Lazuli promotes calmness, serenity and balance and these stones have a number of different uses in Feng Shui. The energy associated with these stones is very yin and so can be placed in any of the yin areas of your home. These cover the relationship, children and creativity, helpful friends and career areas of your home which are in the south west, west, north west and north. If you want to strengthen and enhance the energies in any of these areas of your life placing these stones there can be very beneficial.
Placing two of these stones in the relationship or helpful friends areas can strengthen the bond between two people. The stones are associated with trust and truth so if you doubt the motives of a person in your life you can offer them a stone as a gift. If you are placing Lapis Lazuli in the relationship area of your home always remember to place these in pairs. I prefer to place crystals as part of a larger decoration in the relationship area, a beautiful decoration using Lapis Lazuli is to place the stones around two white or pink candles and surround these with two angels, cherubs or doves.
In the children and creativity area of your home the placement of these stones can help to open your mind to new possibilities. In the career area of your home the placing of these stones can help stimulate the growth of a new business or help to seek clarity and objectivity in your career goals. In both of these areas place the stones in a glass or metal bowl that is either circular or has free flowing lines as these areas are represented by metal and water.
However you use these stones in your home their beauty can enhance an existing decoration or can make a beautiful small decoration in their own right. Take care of them, touch them often and keep them out of direct sunlight and they will bring you joy for many years to come.
