Day 14 | Rose Quartz Heart

Day 14 | Rose Quartz Heart

Why a heart?

The heart is often used to symbolise a person's moral, emotional, spiritual and even intellectual substance. The heart has been referred to and believed to be the core of one’s humanity. It was used and is still used as the primary symbol that represents LOVE. Or is it?

A group of researchers believes that the heart symbol is not remotely related to the human heart but is more of an ancient depiction of something more sexual in nature. However, the heart symbol has evolved over the centuries for today, the heart symbol best expresses LOVE on all levels.

True enough today, the heart symbol is widely recognised not only as a symbol of love but of compassion, joy, and charity.

LOVE | CALM | UNDERSTANDING  

Looking to inject a little more romance into your boudoir and worried your partner won’t appreciate that life size portrait of Idris Elba/Emilia Clarke (whoever floats your boat) on the ceiling?  Sweet Rose Quartz is your ally.

Rose Quartz has been used in love rituals and ceremonies for centuries and remains the stone of the hopeless romantic (for good reason – crystals with aphrodisiac properties are great for igniting passion between lovers), but it’s not just romantic love that this crystal embodies.  The Rose Quartz stone’s meaning is one of unconditional love in any form.  Whether that be self-love, family, platonic or romantic love, the way Rose Quartz facilitates love is through its ability to bring your consciousness to a higher level. 

Helping you to forgive and understand, Rose Quartz is strongly associated with the element of water, its healing properties are naturally fluid.  They wash out those toxic energies and emotions that threaten to weigh you down.

Be warned – if you’re planning on placing one in the bedroom for purely recreational purposes, Rose Quartz is also associated with the promotion of fertility.

If you’re living your best life, your days will be filled with many and varied loves.  Rose Quartz will enable you to face every day with an open heart and stoke a fierce burning passion to take on the world and everything in it.

P.S.  Keep Rose Quartz out of the sun, so as to not lose its pretty pink shade.
