Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Good Morning! Crystal Gemstones Associated with Love Crystals have a very special place in the subtle energy therapies and a modality I always honor. For Valentine's Day, my tribute to " Love Stones " that help to generate self love, affection, love and beauty! " Love Stones " : Rhodochrosite 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? 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.

" Love Stones " : Garnet Intimacy is 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 implies 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.

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. " Love Stones " : 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. Rose Quartz: Translucent to clear Pink.

" Love Stones " : 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. Carnelian: Chalcedony (jasper) qtz.
