Lapis Lazuli, Chile, and My Toquicura

Going far away is not always easy, even for short periods, but it is always good, especially when you are older and tend to be less flexible.

But you always learn a lot.

I learned to do something I thought was impossible and that, at first, didn't give me much hope.

It's important to remember that, as with all manual work, you need to give yourself time. Then, you need to give your mind time to align with your hands, and then you still need to wait 🤣. As they say, patience is a virtue.

Now I am able to extract the shape I want from a rock, highlight certain parts, refine it, polish it. And I made my own Toquicura (see previous post)

Of course, the stone had to be the right one, and so off I went with lapis lazuli, which is the stone of Chile and also has beneficial effects, which I certainly need.

Lapis lazuli promotes wisdom and honesty, helps self-assertion, and stimulates intuition and concentration. It is useful for unconscious fears, calms, and helps overcome stress, promoting inner peace and releasing negativity.

In the lapis, I saw the sky of Chile, so clear.

This is my course
