Rose Quartz Metaphysical & Spiritual Properties

Rose Quartz Properties and SymbolismRose Quartz has a high vibrational energy that can be used to restore balance in the metaphysical healing space. These powerful metaphysical properties have been utilized by multiple past civilizations including the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and Romans to bring about peace and healing.

The Rose Quartz is most strongly connected to the heart (Anahata) chakra. Stress, psychological trauma, and emotional pain can block the heart chakra because of internal turmoil it causes. Blockage of the heart chakra can result from the loss of a loved one, insecurities about the self, feeling inadequate, etc. Because of the metaphysical healing qualities associated with the Rose Quartz, it can provide a sense of calmness for those healing from stress and emotional wounds. Being connected with oneself is crucial in order to extend true unconditional love to those whom we care about deeply.

How to Use Rose Quartz

How to use Rose QuartzThere are a magnitude of ways that the Rose Quartz can be utilized in your daily life depending on what your intentions are. The high vibrational level can be incorporated into meditation routines and be placed around the home (or office) to manifest higher vibrations in low energy environments. Raising the vibration will allow you to release stressors that cast doubt into your heart and open your heart to experience love and clarity.

Meditation

Crystals are often used in conjunction with meditation and the Rose Quartz is no exception.

Before beginning the meditation, you should state your intentions out loud so that your Rose Quartz crystal can support you with the frequency you seek. Resting your Rose Quartz on your chest near your heart allows for a deeper metaphysical connection with the stone’s emitting frequency. However, you may also meditate sitting upright: in this case, it is recommended to hold the stone near your heart using either one or two hands - whatever is most comfortable for you.

Visualizing a soft, glowing pink color that is exerted from the region where your heart sits outward to the peripherals of your body helps further connect you with your Rose Quartz and absorb the healing vibrations. Deep breathing exercises while meditating with crystals can increase the vibrations absorbed and encourage you to remain present in the moment.

Clearing & Balancing Chakras

The heart chakra is associated with love, harmony, empathy, forgiveness, and understanding. The energy generated by the Rose Quartz can help guide your heart chakra into harmonious alignment and bring one’s divine self back into centered balance.

The Rose Quartz has a powerful ability to clear the heart chakra and bring about a deeper sense of understanding. Clearing the heart chakra will replenish depleted levels of self-appreciation by manifesting clarity and encouraging kindness towards oneself. This allows us to not only empathize with and forgive others, but also with ourselves.

Feng Shui

  • In the bedroom, a Rose Quartz crystal can be placed near the bedside or under your pillow to promote calming vibrations. These vibrations facilitate a soothing energy and allow for a good night’s rest.
  • Just as it can be used to restore the heart chakra of oneself, this special gemstone can be used to restore the heart of your home by placing the Rose Quartz in the center of your home.
  • Many work areas are plagued with stress and chaotic vibrations, so placing a Rose Quartz in your workspace can uplift the vibrations and restore tranquility through its empathetic, soothing energy.

Cleansing & Charging Rose Quartz

How to cleanse Rose Quartz

It is recommended to cleanse Rose Quartz on a regular basis, especially if it is being used for meditation and cleansing of the Heart chakra. It is necessary in order to release excess energy from these powerful crystals.

Sage, smudge sticks, and incense can be used to cleanse Rose Quartz. It is recommended to do this outdoors or near an open window. This allows unwanted energies that are released during the cleansing process to freely leave the area. For cleansing to occur, gently move the sage, or the alike, around the crystal for about one minute and allow the sage smoke to engulf the Rose Quartz.

Cleansing Rose Quartz can also be done through a brief deep breathing exercise. To do this, visualize a soft, pink glow surrounding the Rose Quartz and upon exhalation, envision the excess energy being released from the gemstone.

How to charge Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz can be recharged in the sun or on a Selenite charging plate. Please note that sunlight is very powerful, so it is only recommended for short durations of less than 2 hours at a time. If you opt to charge your Rose Quartz on a Selenite charging plate, you may leave it there for a few hours or even up to a few days!
