The Healing Power of Rose Quartz

Rose quartz is widely used today to help heal all kinds of emotional issues and may have been used as a love token as early as 600BC. Throughout history it has also been used to improve skin tone and improve wellbeing. It was prized in the ancient world for its powers of beautification. Facial masks of rose quartz have been recovered from Egyptian tombs. The Egyptian Goddess Isis supposedly rubbed rose quartz crystals on her face to keep looking beautiful. Rose quartz is honoured by Tibetan and Oriental cultures and is still one of the main carving stones used in China today. In the Indian Ayurvedic tradition warmed rose quartz crystals massaged on the skin are said to restore the body’s energy centres.
 

Benefits of Rose Quartz

Physical:

Rose quartz strengthens the physical heart and circulatory system. It helps with chest and lung problems including shortage of breath. It heals the kidneys and adrenals, alleviates vertigo and is said to increase fertility. It can help with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and senile dementia. On the skin it smoothes the complexion and soothes burns and blisters.

Mental/Emotional:

Rose quartz is excellent for all kinds of emotional healing. It is calming, comforting and reassuring and is excellent for use in cases of trauma and crisis. It releases unexpressed emotions, heartache and transmutes old emotional conditioning/behaviour patterns that no long serve. It soothes internalised pain and heals deprivation. It draws off negative energy and replaces with loving vibes. It strengthens sensitivity and empathy and is excellent for mid-life crisis as it aids acceptance of change. Rose quartz dissolves love blockages and opens your heart so you become more receptive to love. Rose quartz can help attract love: place by your bed or in the relationship corner of your home. In an existing relationship it can restore trust and harmony and encourage unconditional love. If you have lost love, it comforts your grief. It teaches you how to love yourself which is vital if you think you are unlovable. It encourages self-forgiveness and acceptance and promotes self-trust and self-worth. It brings compassion, love and balances the emotions.

Spiritual:

Rose quartz is a stone of unconditional love and infinite peace. It purifies and open the heart at all levels, bringing deep inner soul healing and self-love.

 

How to Use

Traditionally rose quartz has been used to treat emotional issues connected to the heart. Before use the stone should be cleansed/cleared in running water, ideally pure. You can also bury it in the earth or in sand or leave out on a windowsill in moonlight or sunlight. You can then program the crystal for your specific purpose, such as to attract love or heal a broken heart, by surrounding the crystal with pure white light, giving it Reiki if you do this and stating your intention.

Many people like to wear rose quartz as a pendant, some stuff a small piece in their bra and some put a tumblestone in their pocket. Try holding a piece to your heart chakra when you’re watching TV. You can also meditate upon the crystal by observing it closely and letting any feelings arise within you that may need releasing and healing. Visualise loving pink waves of energy flowing into your heart chakra.

 

Try for Yourself

If you would like to experience the wonderful healing energy of rose quartz for yourself, I offer a half hour Crystal Healing/Chakra Balancing treatment for £22 where crystals are place on the chakras to bring each one back into balance. Reiki is incorporated into the treatment where needed. For clients who need a more emotional healing (those suffering from loss, bereavement, grief, low self-esteem, negative self- thoughts and lack of love in life for example), rose quartz crystals can be placed on all chakras to fill the client with the energy of love, support and nurturing. With its strong association with love and emotional healing, I always feel that rose quartz is one of the crystals which carry an angelic vibration.

You may also like to try my new Rose Quartz Facial which is available on introductory offer of £30 in September 2017. This treatment combines the healing power of rose quartz crystals with the benefits of a traditional facial. Rose scented skincare products are used including a facial massage with rosa mosqueta oil. A large rose quartz crystal is placed on the heart chakra, smaller crystals placed at the crown and solar plexus and the client is given palm stones to hold during the treatment. The facial massage is performed using rose quartz wands, focussing on the acupressure points on the face. Rose quartz facial wands stimulate cell renewal, improve moisture levels and boost circulation.
