It helps to lower stress levels and dissipate feelings of resentment, upset and jealousy.

CRYSTAL TIPS The rose quartz stone can be used as part of a daily morning meditation; try this simple exercise to promote instant calm. Think of a positive word to use as your mantra – it could be something like “peace”, “happy” or “calm”. Sit on the floor with your legs crossed loosely or stretched out – whichever is most comfortable. Hold your rose quartz stone in your dominant hand and rest your hands in your lap. Close your eyes and feel the soothing vibrations of the stone, as you take in deep breaths. Say your positive mantra each time you exhale. Do this for 5 minutes as a wonderful way to prepare yourself for the day ahead.

Place small pieces of rose quartz throughout your home and workplace to help disperse negative energies, and promote feelings of joy and togetherness.

Wear a rose quartz pendant to ease stress and encourage calm.
