Select the paragraphs and, on the Format menu, click Paragraph. At
Spacing Before, specify the desired amount. For a "blank line", you
would choose 12 pt. (If Line Spacing is set to "Single", 6 pt of
Spacing Before should suffice, though.)

Note that if you are using paragraph styles, you could add the 6 pt of
Spacing Before to that style.

How do I double space between paragraphs when the numbering/bullets
is on?
