A SELF LOVE RITUAL
Rose Quartz was one of the first crystals I worked with. I was drawn to it perhaps because I like the colour pink. I have found it has a powerful amplifying energy. It is associated with the heart and is often used around the heart chakra energy centre. It is often seen in massage tools such as face rollers and gua sha.
It is excellent for cultivating self love, compassion and forgiveness. This is an ideal crystal for Spring where we may be getting impatient with ourselves and want to be further ahead on projects than where we are.
Here is a ritual you can try with a Rose Quartz Crystal.
Rose Quartz Ritual
Ingredients
Rose Quartz Crystal either Raw or Tumbled
Rose Essential Oil
One Rose of your favourite colour eg Pink
Cup of Rose Tea eg Yogi Tea Rose, Pukka Love or Twinings Balance
Bath or Shower
Method
Set aside 20 minutes where you will not be disturbed.
Put on your favourite playlist and light a candle if desired( remember to blow out candle afterwards)
Place the crystal next to the bath or shower
Run a bath and add the rose petals and four drops of Rose oil.
Alternatively get in the shower and sprinkle the petals around the shower tray and shake the oil drops on the walls of the shower.
Breathe in the scent of the rose and as you are bathing or showering ,repeat the affirmation silently to yourself
“I love and respect myself.”
On finishing your bath and shower, remove the petals and dispose of them, get dressed slowly and mindfully sip your tea and hold your crystal.
Feel the edges and the weight of the crystal in your hands. Notice the colour of the crystal. What would the crystal say if it could speak to you?
Repeat the affirmation three more times while holding the crystal.
Place your crystal on your altar or somewhere special you can see it daily. Let it be a reminder to cultivate self love this week.
