Rose Quartz....The Stone of Unconditional Love

Today our stone of choice is Rose Quartz.

This soft pink stone is a message of love from the Earth and the Universe. It wants to tell you how perfect you are, how very much loved you are.

Its sole purpose in being is to take you back to the time before your separation from spirit, and from your own soul. To the time before guilt, before disappointment, before you knew you were anything other than a cherished child of the cosmos.

This stone works vibrationally to help heal any Dis-ease of the mind/body/spirit induced by poor self esteem and lack of self love. It directly affects the heart chakra, and helps to open it, and keep it open so that you may process childhood traumas, anger issues, feelings of isolation , fear, envy, neglect and depression. It can teach you compassion for others, by allowing you to feel true compassion and love for yourself.

Many times our lives are shaped by our negative agreements with others. Someone whose opinion is important to us, some one who we love may tell us that we are inferior, not good enough, not worthy of love or respect. Or their actions may send us the same messages. In any case, the problems start when we agree with them.

There is an old expression that I love, it says "there ain't no sellers if there ain't no buyers"

Bad grammar aside, we can hear and see all the negative actions and comments in the world, but they only have a "life" when we choose to give it to them. Most of the time, these negative messages start when we are too young to process them objectively. They also come from people we are dependant on for our very existence, for our spiritual values, for our education, for our familial love...the list is, unfortunately, endless.

From these negative messages come the ills and pains and sorrow of the human race. It is these issues that the Rose Quartz will embrace, with such love, such kindness and peace...that it's vibration is like a cotton candy band aid to the soul. It imbues a person with so much love and toleration, that it can actually reduce high level stress in the body. There is not a situation in the world that cannot be made better by approaching it with unconditional, selfless love and understanding

I have a client whose Mother was so bitter, so angry and mean, that she had driven away, finally, in her old age, every one who could have ever loved her. It was excruciating for my client to be around her, and she came to me one Christmas and said "I'm going to see my Mother for the holidays. What could I give her that would make her more tolerable?" We decided that a Rose Quartz wand would be pretty enough for her to accept as a gift, and even though she ridiculed her daughter for giving her some thing so silly and useless, she got into the habit of holding it at night while she watched TV.

As the years went by, my clients mother went through a transformation of heart and spirit that no one who knew her would have believed it unless they had witnessed it for themselves. She began to be more supportive of her family, less angry and cutting. She became more compassionate, less judgemental. And all the time she was transforming, her Rose Quartz was getting black lines in it, and gradually got darker and darker. Her daughter offered to replace it, but the Mother would have none of it. That was her magic rock.

I believed then, and still do, that the stone literally sucked the negativity right out of her, and held that energy deep inside it, where it couldn't affect her any more. Whether that is true or not, today my clients mother is a loving, supportive mother, grandmother and wife. And most importantly...she has joy in her life. The joy that comes from loving and being loved.

Rose Quartz is pure love...and there is NO higher power than that. It is what we were born into...and what we seek to recapture all our lives. Work with a Rose Quartz, and it will teach you that the journey to unconditional love starts and ends inside your heart and soul, not outside of it. Love yourself first, and you will always attract love from others.

Is it the Yellow Brick Road, or The Lonesome Highway?

There comes a time in one's process when one is so completely alive, completely awake, that every motion, movement and thought carry an amazing synchronisity with the rest of the Universe.
Nothing is too small or insignificant.


Everything has meaning, and a message. You will find yourself walking around in
that state of bliss which was attributed to Saints and Holy Men and Women through out the ages. This is not an experience limited to those who have achieved "earthly perfection"


This is the Divine connection, and it is for everyone and everything.
This is Joy.


Paradoxically, it will seem that the closer you are to your own divine nature...the fewer people you will have in your life that will be capable of sharing this wonderful journey with you.


One of the things I hear most often is " I can't relate to my old friends any more, or , I have to hide what I'm feeling and thinking because my family doesn't understand it."


It is human nature to push away and fear the unknown. There is always comfort in a group conscience, where you can "see" your acceptabilily through the eyes of the group, because they are the same as you. When you change that , when you break away from the group spiritually and philosophically, yes, you are going to feel lonely.



One of the sole defining features of a spiritual awakening is that no matter how much you read or study this teacher, or belongs to that group...the most profound and exciting epiphanies will come from the inside, from your own spirit and heart. That is why it is called the journey within. It is almost mandatory to be alone, at least philosophically, while you process and internalize this new and wonderful way of being. It is important that you truly know your own truth from the inside out.


When all these things start to happen, you will unconsciously be vibrating at a higher level. This will cause many people to feel uncomfortable around you. You will be different, but outwardly the same. You will find that many of the things you did before don't hold a lot of appeal any more. A lot of your friends and family will start calling you "weird".


There are millions of people going through this spiritual Awakening. Each journey is individual, and different, but each journey is the same. You are not alone. There will be times in between your Awakening and Your Becoming when you feel alone, but that is only an Earthly illusion.


You will find like minded people every where, but in order to know who they are, you have to put yourself out there. Don't hide what you think and feel. Don't assume that the guy next to you on the bus is a thousand miles away from you, you may only be separated by your fears of being thought "weird".


Be who you are, the traveler, the seeker, and know that you can find your answers and your support in the most unlikely of places. Be that person you are looking for, let your light shine out like a candle in the darkness, and you will not be lonely any more.
