A 7 chakra lapis lazuli bracelet typically refers to a piece of jewellery made from gemstone beads, each in a colour linked with one of the seven chakras, with lapis lazuli as a deep blue accent. Lapis lazuli is a deep blue semi-precious stone that has been valued for its colour and symbolism for thousands of years. In chakra tradition, lapis lazuli is most often linked with the third eye chakra. Our chakra stones bracelet with lotus charm is a pretty example of a multicoloured chakra bracelet.
What are the seven chakras?
In some spiritual traditions, the seven chakras are described as centres of the body, each linked with a colour and a theme. This is a belief system rather than a scientific one. Here is how the chakras are traditionally associated with colours and positions in the body:
- Root Chakra (Muladhara) - Red: at the base of the spine, traditionally associated with stability and a sense of security.
- Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana) - Orange: in the lower abdomen, linked with creativity and emotional expression.
- Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) - Yellow: in the upper abdomen, linked with confidence and self-esteem.
- Heart Chakra (Anahata) - Green: in the centre of the chest, linked with love, compassion and connection.
- Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) - Blue: in the throat area, associated with communication, self-expression and speaking one's truth.
- Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) - Indigo: on the forehead between the eyes, linked with intuition and perception.
- Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) - Violet or white: at the top of the head, linked with spiritual connection and reflection.
Lapis lazuli chakra: which chakra is lapis lazuli?
Lapis lazuli is most often linked with the third eye chakra (indigo), because its deep blue matches that chakra's colour. Many guides also connect it with the throat chakra (blue), the chakra of communication, which fits the stone's traditional association with truth and honest speech. In a 7 chakra bracelet, the lapis bead usually sits in the indigo position, between the blue throat bead and the violet crown bead.
What is lapis lazuli?
Lapis lazuli is a rock rather than a single mineral. Its blue comes from lazurite, the white streaks from calcite, and the tiny gold flecks from pyrite, which is why good lapis looks like a night sky. It has been mined in the mountains of Afghanistan for more than 6,000 years. Ancient Egyptians used it in jewellery and in the funeral mask of Tutankhamun, and Renaissance painters crushed it into ultramarine, once one of the most expensive pigments in Europe.
In folklore, lapis lazuli is traditionally associated with wisdom, truth, self-awareness and friendship. These are symbolic meanings that people enjoy, not proven effects.
Why wear a 7 chakra lapis lazuli bracelet?
People choose a chakra bracelet for its colours and symbolism, and as a personal reminder of the themes above. If you are interested in a chakra bracelet, it is a good idea to explore the concept further and see whether it resonates with you personally. Others simply like a bright row of colour that goes with denim, white shirts and summer dresses.
Our current chakra bracelets use multicoloured beads in the seven chakra colours rather than naming lapis lazuli as a separate stone, so the deep blue and indigo beads take its place in the row. Choose from the gold plated 7 chakra bracelet set for a full stacked look, the 7 chakra bracelet with gold plated leaf charm for a delicate single strand, or the lotus charm bracelet above. Each comes in three sizes from 16 cm to 20 cm.
How to wear a chakra bracelet
- Size: measure your wrist and add about 1 cm for a comfortable stretch fit.
- Wrist: either wrist is fine; some traditions favour the left.
- Styling: a chakra bracelet looks best against plain colours, or stacked with gold-tone bracelets.
- Care: take it off for showers, swimming and the gym, and roll it on and off rather than pulling the elastic.
