musings on rose quartz
BloodMilk is releasing a special series of rose quartz jewels today.
Rose Quartz has always resonated with me, though when prompted to explore my connections to it, I could not pinpoint anything beyond associations with my birthday and my grandma. I know that RQ is symbolic of love, but I wasn't sure what else.
BM's post and collection has led me to begin exploring my associations a little deeper.
My immediate connections are as I said, my grandma.
She loved pink and she loved roses, she loved jewelry and stones. She gave me a bracelet with large rose quartz stones on it one year, a bracelet that I have brought out numerous times to wear with me on days where I felt I needed her strength.
2018 marked the passage of ten years since her death, the bracelet broke during this year as well. I was devastated.
I have always read that rose quartz is a birthstone for October as well, my second association with the stone. My closest friends have October birthdays as well, as does my husband. His birthday marks the beginning of the month, on the 1st, while mine marks the end, with the 30th. I have always found this to be significant.
Upon reading more about rose quartz, I learned that, "The soothing energy of Rose Quartz fosters empathy, reconciliation, and forgiveness of others. Lowering stress and tension in the heart, Rose Quartz clears out anger, jealousy, and resentment of others, and allows healing of heart issues and disease associated with holding on to such negative emotions."
I often strive to remember to be more like my grandmother, who was kind, generous, compassionate, forgiving, and strong. I am not always a very forgiving person, I am often outwardly abrasive and have trouble acknowledging and accepting my emotions, especially positive ones. I am great at being angry and showing anger, but I struggle with vulnerability. Being vulnerable terrifies me and is something I need to embrace in order to have the kind of intimate relationships I desire. I plan to purchase the Belonging to the Darkness II ring in rose quartz today and wear it as the final piece to complete my wedding bands. I hope to have it serve as a reminder to not only love myself, but to be more open to being vulnerable with my husband and my friends, and to allow myself to release the tension and anger I've felt for the last two decades. I hope it will remind me to be more compassionate and forgiving when others are unlike me or make mistakes. I hope to be more forgiving towards myself when I make mistakes or don't live up to my own ridiculous standards of perfection as well.
