So many of us have experienced heartache or depression in our lives. Everyone of us has been hurt or let down by someone or something. One of my favorite tools for self empowerment are crystals. I have always been drawn to stones for some reason. I truly believe they were put here by spirit to help us, much like herbs, good nutritious foods, fresh air, and sunlight.
Rose Quartz
This lovely pink stone stone can teach us so much about love. It gently helps to dissolve all emotional blockages in the heart chakra. It can open one up to the idea that even if someone rejects us, that we are lovable and deserving of love. It helps to promote feelings of self-love, which I feel is very important in our society. Our modern world has a very flawed view of self love and self esteem. We are taught from an early age to look for love in all of the wrong places: outside of ourselves. This leaves us constantly looking for someone to complete us or make us feel better. We have little to give others if we don’t love ourselves first. This is so important! We have to fill our own cup up first. When we do that love comes rushing to us from the outside. The outside world is a reflection of what we feel inside. So if you feel unloved or unlovable or even worse loathe yourself… that is what the outside world is going to reflect to you. The best advice I can give anyone is to learn to love themselves warts and all! This lovely stone goes a long way to help with this. This stone is all about the power of love and it gently urges you to begin with YOU!
