Love Stones : Crystals for Love, Beauty and Appreciation

[Guest guest]

Good Morning!

 

" Love Stones " : Crystals for Love, Beauty and Appreciation

 

This is a compilation of some of the most interesting " Love Stones "

that help to generate self love, affection, love and beauty! (This is

a short list). It is always an important issue when talking about

LOVE. Not only are we interested in exploring the psychology behind

a " relationship " but we are often reminded that we should also be

aware that there are many forms of LOVE.

 

How can I find love? What IS love? Will I know love when I find it?

Before gaining answers to these kinds of questions you need to do one

thing.

 

Decide what you mean by the word " love. "

 

Is love the passion felt by humans when they are experiencing

passion, or is love the passion they have for something else... their

country, their family or their passion for chocolate?

 

 

Balance and Rhodochrosite

 

Balance. This is the bottom line. We strive all our lives to keep in

balance. Our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual being. When

we are balanced, our " whole " self works in conjunction with all our

other elements. When we are not in balance, we allow ourselves to be

more susceptible to illness or dis-ease. Keeping this delicate

balance is up to you! ...In order to maintain harmony and balance,

the tools have been provided here.

 

Rhodochrosite

Solid to clear pink. Gentle, yet probably the most vibrant loving

stone to heal the Heart Chakra, especially for giving/receiving

love. " Stone of Love and Balance " . Also for loneliness, loss,

heartache, fear, insecurities, inner-child issues, abuse,

incest...Helps self-forgiveness, deservingness and trust issues,

spiritual-and self-love, desire to live, purpose. Best worn 24 hrs. a

day. Electromagnetic. Stronger than Rose Qtz. Solar plexus, stomach

(anxiety), food addictions, anorexia, asthma, eyesight (especially

emotional not-seeing, to avoid pain). thymus. Open the hand healing

Chakras. Specialized uses to detox/heal blood, liver, cancer. Works

in the bathtub to de-stress the body.

 

 

Intimacy, Moral Character and Garnet

 

Intimacy is the feeling close and connected to someone (developed

through sharing and very good communications over time). Intimacy is

what makes you want to share and offer emotional and material support

to each other. Intimacy impies the desire to strengthen our moral

character in a relationship. It allows us to find and keep as well as

show our best side to others.

 

 

Garnet

Ranges in color from deep emerald green through yellow, brown, and

red. Common to the US, but found all over the world. Stimulates

creativity, passion, and the circulatory system. The brighter the

better. Red: Root and Spleen Chakra. Warms, energizes emotionally and

physically (arthritis, frostbite, paralysis), grounds. Used by

ancient cultures. Exhaustion, low Blood Pressure, detoxing and

strengthening blood, muscles, kidneys, gallstones. Stimulates life

force and sexuality, hormone balance, antibodies, fertility,

persistence, stamina, passion, confidence (and stubbornness). Yang

(avoid if excess anger, impatience, high blood pressure, heat,

inflammation, etc.) Root Chakra. Orange: Warmth, energy.

 

When Garnet is used in conjunction with the pituitary gland, can help

provide past-life information. Should be placed on the center of the

forehead. If carried around in the pocket and then placed on the

forehead of another person, closer ties will form with that

individual. Green Garnets are healing stones. Red represent love and

help the aspirant to strive for improvement in moral conduct. Square-

cut Garnets help bring about business opportunities and filter out

concerns that are not one's own. Rectangular shapes aid in the matter

of intellect or the earth. Garnets teach patience and constancy and

are not to be used lightly. They develop love and compassion. They

sharpen self-perception and extend that openness to others. Help calm

anger, particularly anger directed towards the self.

 

 

Self Love and Rose Quartz

 

Self-love is probably the most important of all. You also have

Spiritual Love, Giving of Love, Receiving of Love, Compassionate

Love, Unconditional Love, Sexual Love... These are all aspects of

LOVE that we need to address, and often times, don't. It is very

important that we love ourselves, first. When this truly occurs, the

Universe allows the others to fall in to place very nicely! We can

accept no more love than we are  willing to give ourselves. We create

our own reality. Gratitude is a self fulfilling prophecy. Openess and

honesty are essential. Self examination is the only way to know.  

All paths are equally spiritual.   Believe that this is so. To

Believe is a powerful thing. The Universe supports ALL that WE CHOOSE

to Believe. *Learn how to think in affirmations that are positive!

These are statements that you make either aloud or to yourself.

Always approve and accept yourself. You cannot love yourself unless

you first, approve of and accept yourself. *Love thy self. You are

perfect, whole and complete NOW, the way you are. You deserve all

that you require. You are worthy, loveable and strong.

Forgiving and Rhodochrosite

 

The need to understand the power and place of forgiveness in our

world is important in the healing process. It is urgent that we

examine the steps that lead to justice and strengthen society. We

need to understand how forgiveness improves the human condition. How

do we choose to forgive? What are the effects of holding grudges and

seeking revenge? We can find a way to balance our need for security

with the potential for granting forgiveness. Forgiveness offers the

possibility of two types of peace: peace of mind -- the potential

healing of old emotional wounds, and peace with others -- the

possibility of new, more gratifying relationships in the future.

Sexual Energies and Carnelian

 

Sexual relations can be the most intimate and satisfying

communication two people experience. Yet sex is difficult for people

to talk about, let alone improve, when problems occur. We are all

sexual beings. It is important to acknowledge and always

celebrate this fact. We are sexual beings so it's natural that we

are sexually attracted to others. Without sex, the human race would

become extinct! Sexual well-being is essential to our overall well-

being. Sex, as any other human experience, holds within it the

mystery of life. As diverse as we are among cultures and sub-

cultures, our common denominator is our sexuality. Sexual behavior

has created us and almost all of us will be involved in sexual

relationships

at some times in our lives. Honor and allow the connection with the

Universe through many levels and find happiness in your sexual

energies.

Ways To Heal With Crystals

 

Most people will choose the crystal which will best assist them in

the situation they need it for; Clearing your mind, helping with a

physical problem, meditation, charms for protection for yourself or

your home, for healing, for Chakra work, for stone elixirs, or for

anything that seems suitable.

 

Select the crystal which has the properties to help you.

Or.....simply pick the stone that " calls " to you!

 

First decide why you are doing the crystal work. Is it for you or

someone else? What is the problem? Do you need to give or receive

energy? What does it require?

 

* Select the stone which has the properties to help you.

 

*For energy, carry the stones with you, either in a little pouch

around your neck or in your pocket or pocketbook.

 

* For meditation, hold the stone in your hand or set it in front of

you. If in a meditation group, sit the crystal in the center of the

group for collective consciousness.

 

*For healing. In a full-scale crystal working, ask the stone for its

energies and utilize them. In healing, place the crystal on the part

of the body where you need it. For chakra work, choose crystals of

the appropriate color and properties. Place the stone on the

afflicted area and feel it's energies work as it draws the sickness

or pain out. You can hold the stone in your receptive hand to absorb

the healing energies. At the end of the process, the stone is

probably depleted of much of it's energy. Thank your crystal and then

cleanse it. Remember, most stones will retain these negative

energies.

 

A commitment to the crystal is part of the healing process. Let the

crystal do the work for you. It is best not to wear more than two

stones at any one time if you are new to crystal healing, as many

people find the effects too distracting.

 

The length of time to obtain the effects desired will depend on the

quality of the crystal (size, color, energy charge), location of

wear, duration, and the crystal's appropriateness to your healing.

Some crystals are better suited to healing the overall problem which

underlies the symptoms, than to just treating superficial symptoms.

Select your crystal with an honest outlook on the real problem.
