Thought I'd come by and share my experiences with the rose quartz. I was asked to do so on the thread titled, "If you were a crystal......." took me awhile to think of what I would be, if I was a crystal when it suddenly came to me. The rose quartz crystal of course!
The rose quartz is not a very showy crystal. it is rather plain. At least a plain jane among such fiery stones filled with colors, like an opal, or some other stones. But, this 'plain jane' of stones has a lot to offer.
I love my rose quartz crystals. I have actually quite a few of them, but two in general that I always grab and/or carry on me. they are both sort of flat, and oval in shape. obviously a soft pink color to them. they are the perfect size to have in ones hand, or, in ones jeans pockets, where I normally carry them. I put one in each pocket, and whenever I am feeling stressed, sad or scared or just feel like I could use a 'friend', I reach right in to my pocket(s) and the rose quartz is there to soothe me.
Rose Quartz is definitely like a friend. It is the stone of love and especially love relationships, not just between lovers as in wife and husband or the other way around, but love of any family member. any friend, any relationship. even co-workers. so if you happen to be around anyone who just is getting on your nerves, reach for Rose and she will help to calm you.
I was trying hard to remember a story where Rose actually came to my rescue that is worth the telling. there have been many times, of course, but some of them - typed out--might not really get the message across of how great Rose is. I finally remembered one time when I had to have some extensive work done on my teeth.
I have a real fear of dentists, but also a bigger fear of not going to the dentist. So I am very good about taking care of my teeth and seeing the dentist every 6 mos. for a cleaning and er....in between time for other work.
I have horrible teeth. Due to a medical issue that I was born with, I have very weak tooth enamel, and so my teeth are very thin and fragile and break a lot.
Then, there is the medicines that I am on, that doesn't help matters any in addition to the above, lol!
so, it is extremely important that I take care of my teeth to keep them and also see the dentist for help w/that.
I did have to have MAJOR work done on my teeth about 4yrs. ago and I was TERRIFIED to say the least. I prayed and meditated and called on every saint, angel, deceased family member, friend and Jesus, Mary his mother, and of course, the crystals I could think of for help. I also took with me, my two Rose Quartz crystals, one in each jeans pocket, as usual.
As the dentist was going away at fixing my problem, I was scared out of my wits end, but I did put my hands into my pockets and grabbed my rose quartz while I also concentrated on my praying for help with the pain. Its funny, because I remember now also that it was not as bad as I had anticipated, though I did have to get a lot of shots to numb me, and my dentist would even stop periodically and ask if I was okay and if I needed more. (not her usual thing, I'll tell you!). anyway, I do think the rose quartz helped me that day, and I'm sure everyone else I prayed to before and during that awful procedure.
But, I was fine. through out the whole procedure and I also do recall when I began to hold the rose quartz, I also began to relax a bit more.
The rose quartz is very gentle in its energy. Its sort of like a mom is to her newborn babe. She holds you in her energy, close, but not so tightly as to keep you from moving comfortably. Just tight enough to let you know you are in secure 'hands' so to speak. At least, this is how I feel w/the rose quartz.
I also recall grabbing it when I found out that my dad was dying, and I was many hundreds of miles away, and how while I was already mourning the loss of my dear father, and not being able to be with him as he slipped away. It helped me through that awful time. It still does when I feel I need my dad and when I miss him. Yes, even at 50 something, there comes times when you really need to know your dad is there to help you. to protect you. The rose quartz is like that too.
The Rose Quartz is a great stone for people with High Blood Pressure, bad circulation, vertigo, headaches and migraines, kidney problems, fertility issues and pregnancy.
Its a lovely stone to give to a pregnant woman as it will help with the stress through out the pregnancy and also during delivery. The Rose Quartz protects both mother and child and can help with an easy delivery.
Such a loving, calming and soothing stone, I just love my rose quartz stones. I hope that my post here explains how wonderful a stone this can be, and if anyone suffers from any need where they need a good friend to be there for them, can reach also for their own rose quartz.
thanks for that bit! I myself have a hard time connecting to this stone, though I do love to look at it...I am going to have to try harder, obviously!
