The soft clear pinkish-rose hue of rose quartz immediately suggests its association with love. It can be a wonderful tool if you are looking to attract more love in your life, maybe even your soulmate! However, it’s said that if you want to attract love, you have to love yourself first. Rose quartz can balance and open your heart chakra to help you love yourself. When you fill yourself up with loving, positive energy, since “like attracts like,” even more love will be bound to come your way.
When you work with rose quartz with this intention, you are focused on your own energy. Ethically, you don’t have to worry that you are imposing your will on another. As another benefit, the focus on balancing your own heart chakracan bring healing and a greater sense of peace in other areas of your life.
Try this meditation to open and balance your heart chakra. Get a piece of rose quartz. (It’s great to work with a rose quartz pendant, because you can wear the pendant later as a reminder that strengthens your intention.) You’ll want to cleanse the stone of any residual energy, and program it with your own intentions. This article has some great tips on cleansing and programming gemstones.
Find a quiet place to relax. Hold the rose quartz in your left hand, as the left hand is the receiving hand. (Interestingly, the left hand is also the hand we wear our engagement and wedding rings on—there are no accidents!) Get into a meditative state.
Visualize the loving energy that comes straight from Source surging through the rose quartz, up through your left arm and into your whole body. As your body is filled with this loving energy, bring the focus to your heart chakra. (You can then place the rose quartz over your heart center if you wish.)
Finish your meditation, thank Source, and ground yourself. As you go about your day, carry the piece of rose quartz with you, or wear your pendant as a reminder close to your heart.
Do this meditation as often as you like. (Since rose quartz is associated with Venus, it might be nice to try this each Friday, a day also associated with Venus and love!) Keep in mind that this meditative exercise is a reminder of what is already within you. To paraphrase Wayne Dyer, “You are love and you emanated from love.”
