Here's What You Need To Know Before Using Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is one of the most beautiful crystals that a person can have in their collection. In addition to its gorgeous color, it is also said to release strong vibrations that can benefit your life in a number of ways. Healing Crystals For You reports that Rose Quartz is available in multiple shades of pink, hence its colorful name. They come in all shapes and sizes, and may even be transparent. These stones hail from deposits in many countries including Brazil, Japan, and South Africa. However, they can also be found in the state of South Dakota.

According to Healthline, the use of the stone dates back to 7,000 BC. Evidence suggests that Egyptian and Roman women alike would use the crystal in their face masks due to its anti-aging properties. Of course, there are plenty of other uses for the gem. The stone is a must-have for anyone looking to use crystal energy in their lives. However, there are a few things that you should know before incorporating Rose Quartz into your routine.

Rose Quartz is said to be a powerful crystal that includes a multitude of benefits and should be treated as such. The first thing you need to do before using the stone is to cleanse it of all negative energy. The easiest way to do so is by smudging it with the smoke from sage. There are a wide variety of uses for the gem, but the most common is love. The crystal is often called the "love stone," and can be used in hopes of healing relationship problems, inspiring kindness and understanding, and as a form of self-care.

"Predominantly, rose quartz is a crystal of unconditional love that brings deep healing to the heart by opening the heart chakra. Once achieved, a deeper state of calmness, serenity, and peace is reached, which ultimately results in complete relaxation, encouraging the feelings of happiness and contentment," owner of KSC Crystals and reiki master, Keith Birch, told Healthline.

Of course, others use the stone to meditate with, and even to clear their complexion. It's also said that Rose Quartz can help with the power of positivity. "Rose quartz increases blood circulation in the body and is especially powerful when worn close to the heart. Rose quartz wards off negativity, and when carried on your person, helps to replace negative emotions with positive, returning the wearer to that place of pure love and balance," Birch said.

According to Tiny Rituals, there are plenty of ways in which you can incorporate Rose Quartz into your life. Using a Rose Quartz facial tool like Demi Moore could improve your skin. Meanwhile, wearing jewelry such as a necklace, bracelet, or ring made from the stone will help you attract love, joy, and abundance. The gem can also be placed around your home or office to give it good vibes and energy. It's a popular choice when looking to Feng Shui your space, and could work wonders for opening up your heart chakra. You can even add it to your bath water to give yourself an extra boost.

Sleeping with the crystal under your pillow is another way to gain from its properties. Doing so reportedly helps you feel more energized when you wake up and increases your sense of inner peace and positivity. "Rose Quartz is widely known for its ability to improve sleep and have soothing dreams. When using a Rose Quartz crystal for better sleep and peaceful dreams, it is best advised to focus on what type of feelings you'd like the Rose Quartz to achieve before you actually go to sleep. This will help your subconscious to vibrate this energy to cooperate with the Rose Quartz stone for achieving best effects," Calming Cosmos reports.
