Rocks that Rocks Us~Rose Quartz by Jessica Allen

It's February! The month when Love is celebrated!

o set the mood, we've been thinking about Rose Quartz; the stone of love! This pretty pink quartz works its groovy magic by emitting a soothing force of gentle love—working on all the chakras to replace negative vibrations with positive vibrations. Rose Quartz attracts love, and does so by reinstating love as a guiding force. It calms and soothes, and reminds us about beauty and the power with which Love can heal.

An excellent body healing stone, Rose Quartz helps to remove tension that is being held in the body. Many of us think we know what we want, but are still unfamiliar with how we feel. Sometimes stress and unhappiness can accumulate in certain locations of the body, manifesting as illness or pain. Rose quartz placed on these points can work to gently release even long-held tensions, bringing certain emotions and feelings to the surface while reinstating ease and peace. It is much easier to attract what the heart desires when the mind pays attention to how the body feels. Rose Quartz is perfect for bringing loving awareness into the physical body, helping to activate Self-Love.

So this month, take a moment to relax with a piece of Rose quartz. Take some time to appreciate all the beauty that exists all around you, letting yourself be reminded of what makes your heart feel tender, while allowing outworn feelings to be replaced by those which are new, loving and empowering. More than anything else, being able to feel love helps love to find you— like attracts like!

Make sure to appreciate the love which surrounds you. Engaging with your own ability to feel love is healing and life-altering, and has a positive effect on everything and everyone around you. Rose Quartz is a great stone to place anywhere you'd like loving energy to flow; and a rose quartz heart makes a great little gift to show someone just how they make your heart feel.

Happy Valentine's Day and much love to you all from the staff here at Paradise Found!
