Hi Readers,
Welcome to 2020!
I thought I would discuss working with a crystal I feel is useful for me that I decided to use it throughout this month and during the year. I briefly mentioned it in a different post. Rhodochrosite which has several associations including intuition, assisting with analytical thought, among many others. Rhodochrosite is also useful in helping with healing and the heart. I have used this crystal for helping with dealing with past emotional struggles. For me, I found working with rhodochrosite was quite useful for this purpose. In addition, rhodochrosite assisted me with helping me come to terms with emotional problems I thought I had dealt with. This was not just done through meditation, or carrying the stone but that did help. I would use it when I was dealing with struggles and I found the energies of the crystal allowed me to feel the emotions without feeling overwhelmed by them. This may not happen to everyone but this was just the experience I had. Further, rhodochrosite also helped me recognize emotional issues as they arose and allowed me to step back from the situation to help me figure what was going on a deeper level.
I worked with this crystal in several ways some of which includes meditating with it at a specific time both around and away from my altar. I kept the piece on my person while I was out, and I kept it near me. I made time to work with it not just during difficult emotional struggles. Even when I was not having an emotional struggle, I still held the crystal to learn how the energies connected with my own. I used it for over a week and I noticed great results. Through these actions and working to understand the root cause of the emotional struggle I was able to learn about myself as a whole and gain insight into how to better cope with emotional situations that may come up. However, I recognize that emotional challenges happen to all of us and using crystals like rhodochrosite can assist us. This should not be the only avenue people should explore It is not a replacement for professional care If that you need it. If you are dealing with any emotional issues reach out to someone like a friend or a professional for help. If you like to learn more about this crystal, I encourage you to do some research and If possible, obtain one yourself to work with it. If you have used rhodochrosite for yourself what was your experience?
I found This book by Judy Hall in addition to This page on rhodochrosite Both are excellent resources not just for rhodochrosite but for crystals as a whole.
