I like to use the calm, soft pink colour of the rose quartz crystal to remind myself to live from my heart. Carrying a small tumbled crystal helps me to OPEN my heart so I can FILTER my actions, decisions and words through it.
When the heart is closed we tend to be more JUDGMENTAL, cruel, violent and arrogant, so, the BEST way to soften these qualities is to bring your awareness to your heart and, by doing so, you can tap in to the quality of love, which nourishes and feeds your life.
The biggest benefit or me has been that I'm WAY less impatient, which is a REALLY GOOD THING for myself, and those around me. Thankfully, there are other benefits too, so try this exercise.
Place one hand on your heart.
Close your eyes. Breathe slowly and gently. Relax your jaw and forehead.
Stay with it for at least 15 seconds. You may even feel your heartbeat.
Think of some thing, some place or some one you love and let that feeling of love fill your heart.
Feel your heart soften and open. Keep breathing, gently.
Spread that good, loving feeling to every cell in your body. Take your time with this.
Then focus back on your heart and thank it for all that it does for you.
Gently open your eyes.
When to Use: You can tap in to this feeling whenever you need a re-boot back to your heart, especially when your thoughts start to generate negative emotions.
Side Effects: Your heart energy will multiply and touch those around you. You will have easier access to the qualities love, gentleness, compassion, radiance, respect, joy and optimism.
Your heart energy is a simple resource, available exclusively to you, 24-7.
Enjoy the ride!
