: Rose Quartz Heart

Looking for love this Valentine’s day? Start with loving yourself.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.-Deepak Chopra

With Valentine’s day being on February 14th, February is known as the month of romance. But for many who don’t have a romantic partner in their life, Valentine’s day can be a lonely or even depressing holiday. Rather than close your heart to the pain of love lost, open your heart to yourself this Valentine’s day. Whether you are in a relationship or not, flow loving energy to yourself. When we first learn to truly love ourselves we can open our hearts to receive the love of others.

Falling In Love With Rose Quartz- A Heart Chakra Meditation

Spirals of Light — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 02:00:12 +0000

Over the past several weeks I immersed myself in heart chakra stones. I wanted to put together a collection of Heart Chakra jewerly as part of my Valentine’s day jewelry sale. I took out all of my pink gemstone beads and began designing Heart opening necklaces. The more I worked with Rose Quartz the more I feel in love with this stone all over again. All pink and green stones are Heart Chakra stones. There are many pink and green gemstones in the mineral kingdom and I have a vast collection of these heart stones. It is easy to over look the lovely soft Rose Quartz. As I worked with Rose Quartz I began to connect once again to its amazing energies.

While the vibration of Rose Quartz is soft and gentle, it is also very powerful. This stone reminds us that love begins with ourselves. >> Continue reading

Rose Quartz is perhaps one of the best known gemstones in the crystal world. Commonly known as the “stone of love.” I’ve been placing a Rose Quartz heart by my Yoga mat for the past week, in honor of Valentine’s Day. It helps me put my focus on heart opening yoga poses. Asanas like, cobra pose, cat pose, upward facing dog and bridge pose. At the end of my yoga sessions I sit and meditate with Rose Quartz and listen to its gifts.

Rose Quartz first and foremost reminds us to love ourselves. Each day when I get on my mat I am demonstrating this self love. I bring self acceptance to the mat when I feel the tightness in my muscles, and forgive the places in my body where it is difficult for me to stretch further. We often distance ourselves from self love when we feel un-entitled to it, or less than, or unworthy, or even guilty. >> Continue reading

As Valentine’s Day approaches not everyone is feeling romantic. If you find yourself wishing you were in a wonderful relationship but are still feeling the wounds of a past love, seek out the heart soothing gemstone Rose Quartz. Rose Quartz is connected to the Heart or 4th Chakra and is a heart-nurturing stone, bringing love, joy and acceptance.

Pink and green stones are known to open and heal the heart. I combined Green Aventurine with Rose Quartz to create “Heartstones” a heart chakra gemstone bracelet. These two stones together offer a satisfying heart warming energy. Finding and nurturing love in our lives is something we all seek. Choose Rose Quartz or any pink or green stones. Try this affirmation while holding a pink or green gemstone: “My life only has meaning in proportion to the love I allow in my heart“. >> Continue reading
