As life cycles and progresses, twists and turns, we could all use a tool to help us amplify the love inside. When we feel drastic energy shifts due to crazy life changes it’s a great time to be close to Rose Quartz, for its abundant love vibes and power to create a harmonious atmosphere. Crystals may seem modern age, but our ancestors have been using these tools to elevate themselves for centuries.

Goddess Aishat is the Ancient Egyptian Goddess of love, healing, motherhood, fertility, magic, and the moon. Most known by the Ancient Greek name given to her, Isis, she is seen as the greatest example of a loving faithful wife and mother. Her love for her husband, Osiris, being so strong she used her magical powers to resurrect him after he died. Rose Quartz gently, but powerfully helps us heal our hearts. Its high vibration opens up the heart chakra; making Rose Quartz perfect for connecting with every type of love: platonic, romantic, family, community, the Earth, the Universe, the Divine, and knowledge of self-love.

In ancient times, Goddess Aishat referred to this beautiful, soft pink hue, quartz as the premiere “Love Crystal” and it was a favorite for her daily regimen. She would rub Rose Quartz on her face, wear it as jewelry, and bathe with it. The spiritual energy of quartz crystals was also used in the famous architectural practices of that time period. Egyptian Obelisks are known to have been built with quartz crystals inside them to help generate energy by harnessing the power of the Sun.

Since then, Rose Quartz Crystals have been found in many Egyptian tombs on sacred items like face masks, which is the perfect illustration of just how highly regarded and valuable the crystal was back then. The Egyptians knew the powers that be! Rose Quartz has been linked to having very strong metaphysical properties such as:

• Releasing energy blocks of Repressed heartache and Grief

• Not feeling deserving of love (and therefore having difficulty receiving love)

• Fertility issues, Childbirth, Baby bonding, Postpartum

• Sexual dysfunction

• Acne

• Slowing signs of aging, Reducing wrinkles

• Anxiety and Depression (from lack of connection to self)

• Addictions

• Kidney disease

• High Blood Pressure

• Asthma

• Heart disease

• Migraines

• Sinus/Throat/Ear problems

• Spleen problems

• Fibromyalgia

• Lung problems

• Brain functions and stimulates intellect

• Hatred

• Resentment

• Self-centeredness/Feeling disconnected from self

Goddess Aishat is a symbol of maternal energy, so naturally Rose Quartz is a nurturing stone. Its energy is helpful and protective during pregnancy and childbirth. It promotes bonding and is a good stone to place on the stomach during pregnancy, and take with you to be near the baby during birth. The Rose Quartz can also help with baby soothing in the days to follow birth. A great stone radiating calmness and beauty to have in the bathroom when bathing yourself or your baby. Also, having it near you and baby when feeding can help ease colic or feeding difficulties.

In all, we are built to be loved and give love. YOU ARE THE POWER and the Crystals are tools which extend the power of intent of the healer. You may feel drained from the shifting emotions and life changes that occur but know when we raise our vibrations, we force the universe and the people surrounding us to either meet us at our level, or leave.
