Crystals for Self Love
Self Love - whoa, it’s a very tough topic for me. I was 33 years old when I first heard the word and realized what it could possibly mean.
Self love is to love yourself the way you may love another - a friend, a lover, a child, a parent. We want to talk to them in a sweet voice, say good things to friends, uplift them when they are down, treat them to a great meal, we want to see them happy. Some of us, never learnt to do that for ourselves.
A few years ago, someone said to me, you need to talk to yourself. That was such an alien concept, it was as if they were speaking greek to me. My inner dialogue was non existent, or it was there but a very critical parent always telling me I’m not doing, what’s not right, what’s missing. The greatest love you can give to yourself is positive self talk. We all have our inner child within us who wants to be heard, seen, loved, understood, supported and held.
If you really struggle with loving yourself or are beginning to see yourself the Book : Mirror Work by Louise Hay is a great book. Confession, I haven’t done it beyond chapter 8, I’m still learning to love myself.
Here are some of the Crystals which are great for enhancing self love :
Rose Quartz: A great crystal for all bringing in love in all relationships, hence one which is great for bringing in love into the one constant relationship you will have from the first moment of your life, until the last moment -yes YOU!
Morganite: Morganite can feel like a hug in a mug, a kind voice, a gentle touch. A safe haven as you learn to love yourself again or for the first time.
Clear Quartz: Clear Quartz is a crystal to enhance any intention you put into it, just how water takes shape of the container it’s put into, a clear quartz will take the course of your intention.
One of the most powerful affirmations for self love is: I am worthy of love, I matter!
May you be compassionate with yourself through this journey of love in this crazy life we live.
Love,
