FEATURED CRYSTAL
ROSE QUARTZ
KEYWORDS
Harmony, memories, forgiveness
Recalling the past with tranquillity releases internalized pain and highlights its gifts.
For your own serenity and wellbeing, you may need to look back to the past, accept it as it was, and move on. Rose Quartz is the perfect companion for this journey. It not only resolves traumas but helps you to see the joys and gifts in your experiences, releasing regrets, yearnings and ‘if onlys’. A stone of unconditional love and infinite peace, it opens your heart and offers deep healing through loving acceptance and compassion. One of the great stones of forgiveness, this crystal teaches the true essence of love. It shows you that you must first love yourself before you can love others. Rose Quartz reminds you that unconditional self-love is not selfish; it is self-empowering and self-affirming. Without this self-love, mindfulness is not possible; neither is accepting love from others. With it, you regain your trust and live in harmony with the world, savouring each moment afresh.
Rose Quartz draws off negative thoughts and emotions and replaces them with feelings of unconditional love. It assists in the acceptance of necessary change. If you look back with longing or with horror to the past, it gently releases you, teaching you how to love and live in the present moment.
A welcoming heart. Surrendering. Loving unconditionally, wholeheartedly.
Hold Rose Quartz (or a photograph of it) over your Solar Plexus chakra (see page 35) and feel the love it radiates to you. Breathe gently. Take your mind back to a memory – ‘good’ or ‘bad’ –that is disturbing your equilibrium. Remember it fully. Feel it deeply. Breathe. Wait patiently until you are tranquil; do not force it. Smile and . . . breathe.
