Rose Quartz is the corner-stone for the heart Chakra. The energy from Rose Quartz is essential to self-fulfilment and inner peace. The pink colour of Rose Quartz is soft and soothing allowing the mineral to comfort and heal wounds the heart has accumulated over time. Faceted Rose Quartz is an excellent mineral for Chakra mediation and metaphysical healing as the intensity of the colour is more pronounced. Ideally, for the best results, the self-healer should use multiple faceted Rose Quartz gemstones.

Michelle Richards, Director of www.houseofgaea.com says, "Our beautiful faceted Rose Quartz gemstone necklaces are ideal for Chakra mediation as they can be comfortably held in ones receiving hand and the energy from the Rose Quartz is magnified because of the quantity of faceted gemstones. Furthermore, unlike a Rose Quartz crystal, faceted Rose Quartz gemstone necklaces can be worn in your day to day life, helping to constantly maintain a proper balance of energy flowing to ones heart".

To use Rose Quartz gemstones necklaces in meditation you firstly hold the Rose Quartz gemstone necklace in your receiving hand. Your receiving hand is the opposite hand to which you regularly use; if you are right handed, put the Rose Quartz gemstone necklace in your left. If you are left handed, put the Rose Quartz gemstone necklace in your right hand.

Chakra experts indicate that the heart stands at the centre of all energies and unifies our being as a whole. It is the point around which all the energies turn. A discord or imbalance in the heart chakra will adversely affect all the other centres. A clearing of the heart chakra will improve the interaction of all the other centres. It is important to maintain a balance to all the energy centres so a healthy level of awareness is manifested in our everyday lives. If more concentration is given to the upper chakras, then the lower energy centres lose sensitivity and function. If more concentration is given to the lower chakras then the upper energy centres will become cloudy and not function properly as well. Proper balance is the key.

Rose Quartz Meditation

During the start of the meditation process, a person should take peaceful deep breaths; which cleanse and renew. Each breath should draw life into the body and the spirit. Each breath should draw from the air around and also from the earth below. Breathe in the Earth’s energy. Close off surrounding sounds and concentrate on your breathing.

A person should focus their mind so that they breathe with every pore of their body, allowing the life giving energies to renew both body and spirit. Energy should pulse through ones veins and surrounding area. The person should continue to breathe this way so that they feel totally relaxed.

As the person sinks into deep relaxation, they should feel themselves moving gently away from their body; this is normal as they feel the freedom and relaxation. Know that the body itself will be refreshed and renewed and will be perfectly safe until they return.

When the person has moved away from their body, they then look at the Rose Quartz gemstone necklace. They look at the intensity of soft colour and beautiful facets which shimmer and shine from the reflected light. They feel the warmth of the radiated pink colours and the tactile softness of the faceted gemstone beads.

They person should allow the pink of the Rose Quartz warmth to wash over them, radiating love from the rose quartz gemstones. This love should seep into their pores as they breathe. Love will be felt in their heart as it vibrates throughout their entire body and spirit. As it pulses through ones body, with great strength in all directions at once, the person will be recharged and renewed.

The process ends by the person continuing to breathe deeply while moving back into their physical body. Slowly they should allow themselves to once again hear surrounding sounds and feel the body’s life systems awakening, refreshed and renewed.

Rose Quartz Gemstone Necklaces are full of energy that not only assists with Chakra meditation but can be worn in a person’s daily life to help balance their heart chakra. Richards concludes, "House of Gaea has a wide range of Rose Quartz gemstone necklaces that are extensively used by our customers for Chakra heart meditation and self-healing".
