Crystal Meditation: Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz crystals are ideal for working with all matters of the heart. They facilitate the warmth of the pink ray of the divine light spectrum. The healing that rose quartz offers are for matters particularly directed at the heart center (4th Chakra) where traumatic memories and emotional wounds may be festering..and for many lifetimes.
In this visualization, we will be infusing the divine vibrations of the rose quartz crystals into the heart center, where emotional wounds and memories can be resolved and transmuted. This practice allows the opening of the heart center for the true, altruistic expression of Love.
Many times the emotional traumas sustained in our lives severely impact our minds and bodies which cause poor self esteem, and in some cases self-esteem isn't ever given an opportunity to develop at all. Abusive relationships, Academic failures, peer pressure, financial instability and many other factors contribute and influence our perceptions and sense of self worth. Frequently these emotional conditions and factors damage us and become attached to our heart center. This results in the heart center becoming shielded or "blocked". Subsequently, the heart center closes making individuals less cognizant of external factors/matters that might cause more wounding, as well as reactionary behaviors when they are confronted by situations that they perceive to be threatening.
When the heart center suffers from blockage or closing, it can become very difficult (if not impossible) for that person to feel good about him/herself as being a valuable or productive person who is worthy of love and consideration. This heart blockage lessens the possibility of being able to give love, in the purest form to another person. By incorporating rose quartz visualizations to your daily meditation practice, you can repair the damaged, closed heart center and allow yourself to grow emotionally.

Breathe deeply, and allow the pink rays to fill your entire heart center and chest cavity with warming, comforting sensations of love. Continue to breathe, enjoying the soft, consoling pink vibrations.
As you exhale, visualize all tensions stress, and emotional discordance leaving your body in dark swirls of energy that you expel from your mouth.
