Love and Warmth<\/strong><\/p>\n

During this time of year everything all around is decorated cheerfully in red and green.\u00a0 This is to bring happiness to our\u00a0 hearts during the dark winter season.\u00a0 We find earthly reasons to celebrate, bringing good cheer to one another with the joy of fun winter activities, and gift giving.\u00a0 Done properly giving is as wonderful as receiving.\u00a0 A stone which teaches us about both sides of this coin is rose quartz.<\/p>\n

With happiness and good cheer already in the air, rose quartz is a wonderful stone friend to share it with.\u00a0 Its lovely soft pink color is warming and pleasant to the eye.\u00a0 Its energy very much matches this color in that it is soft and cuddly.\u00a0 It gives us a feeling of gentle love and soft well-being when we hold, carry, or wear this kind but powerful stone.\u00a0 Among its many lessons are:
\n1.\u00a0 Universal love.\u00a0 In rose quartz’s expansive good will, it is easy to open our hearts to the greater love when we are in the presence of\u00a0 this wise stone.\u00a0 Its warm energy helps us to feel niceness and good will for the entire world.
\n2.\u00a0 Self-love.\u00a0 Rose quartz gives us its own loving energy.\u00a0 In seeing that we are loved by this giving stone, we are strong enough to look into ourselves and find reasons to love the person we see there.\u00a0 Having rose quartz about can soften self-judgments and assist them to be more constructive.
\n3.\u00a0 Drawing love.\u00a0 Rose quartz’s soft love is often felt as romantic by those seeking to find new romance or to strengthen an old one.\u00a0 Therefore working with rose quartz and asking it for help in these matters can assist in drawing positive results.<\/p>\n

With all this in mind, not only is rose quartz a fitting stone to have for the season of love and good cheer, it is also a very fitting gift.\u00a0 Passing the love on to someone else is a wonderful gesture.\u00a0 When gifting someone with a stone, it is always beneficial to tell that person about the stone so they\u00a0 can better understand the new friend you’ve kindly gifted them with.<\/p>\n

Another wonderful stone for sharing the joy of the season is carnelian.\u00a0 This lovely orange or red stone is a very bright and cheerful soul.\u00a0 It is another\u00a0 to add to the good cheer of the season, and share it\u00a0 with those in its presence.\u00a0 As we’ve the winter solstice coming up, Carnelian is fitting for it is a fire stone, that can be found to come in shades similar to the sun when it appears orange.\u00a0 Carnelian teaches us about the warmth of a bright cheerful fire that warms our cold hands from the winter chill.\u00a0 It works with the second chakra, and thus with the freedom of expression of our creativity and sexuality.\u00a0 As creativity and sexuality both stem from a passionate center, carnelian helps to\u00a0 keep these in a healthy balance.\u00a0 If anyone on your holiday gift list could use work in these areas, they’d likely love a new carnelian friend in\u00a0 their stocking.<\/p>\n

May you have much good cheer and love in this bright\/dark season of winter festivities. Happy stoning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
