h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Rose Quartz is used for self-love, not necessarily to attract love.

I've always used it for attracting as well as promoting love. Have you read the crystal bible?

note current thread for this entry (at this moment) is at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F48874?thread=3071020&show=20&skip=20#pi26

I looked up three different books last night. Which crystal bible are you referring to?

I'll write up a few paragraphs about Rose Quartz and return later on in the week.

Here are my few paragraphs as promised:

Footnote 1



Subjective view 2
This mineral holds the soft energy of loving kindness that helps to alleviate problems of the heart and mind. Polished Rose Quartz is especially healing to stroke or touch and appreciated more by the elderly than children.

A piece of cold rose quartz placed in the aura half a centimetre above a burn (which has previously been treated with cold water) can speed up the natural healing processes.

A piece of warmed rose quartz placed on aching joints and muscles for five minutes or so is extremely therapeutic and causes contentment, especially amongst elderly people.

Meditating on the flame inside a carved piece of rough, un-tumbled rose quartz reduces tension and eases the chattering mind after a hard day at the call centre or office.

Contemporary uses of Rose Quartz
….helps to balance emotions….clears stored anger, resentment, fear and jealousy 3
….a stone for people who have not enjoyed life - perhaps as a result of not receiving or giving enough love 4
…especially helpful at the locations of the heart and the crown charkas….promoting receptiveness to the beauty of creativity and imagination representing a young, warm love. 5
