Rhodochrosite - Taking out the trash
Updated: Apr 7, 2022

Rhodochrsite is known as a powerful opener of the heart chakra that strongly attracts love in all its forms. It can be used to manifest and foster romantic love, unconditional love, friendship and any other form of love into your life. It may be especially helpful when this type of love has been eluding you for a long time because of unhealthy coping mechanisms you might be holding on to as the result of negative past experiences. It helps eliminate clashes between us and our environment by encouraging us to examine who we truly are and what we need and want to be happy.
It is believed to be phenomenal at dissolving past hurts and the resulting trauma. It can encourage us to honestly examine repressed feelings and hurt, even if they are old wounds that stem from childhood and past lives. Being around this gently compassionate crystal may allow us to confront the destructive habits we have adopted as coping mechanisms and all the ways they hold us back from living our best lives. It is believed to be especially helpful for any kind of trauma that severed the connection between sacral chakra (seat of passion, sexuality and sensuality) and heart chakra (seat of romantic and spiritual love) such as sexual assault, an abusive relationship or cheating partner or miscarriage.

I is often used to help us to recognize and break the patterns we keep repeating and the habits that allow us to get entangled with people like the ones that hurt us. It can be especially helpful when we are learning to recognize healthy affection and attract the love we deserve.

It is known as a stone of psychological breakthrough, allowing us to finally and completely shed old vicious cycles. It is used to bring the inner peace, confidence and the joy that comes with deep self love and recognizing your own worth and power. It is also a wonderful companion through pregnancy, recovery from childbirth, and helpful for women trying to reclaim their sensual nature after having children as it is believed to allow for spontaneous expression of feelings, and to enhance passion and sexuality.
