Rose Quartz - The Stone of Love

Because reality tv shows, social media outlets and celebrity tabloids have given rise to unrealistic standards of beauty and body images, it's important to be grounded and remember to love yourself!

It may seem simple but it is something we forget to do every single day. There is so much pressure to have a high power job, look perfect at all times and go through life a certain way. It is so easy to criticize ourselves, especially when we are comparing ourselves to the people we follow on Instagram.

Rose Quartz is the crystal that represents unconditional love. The special crystal opens the heart to all types of love, whether it is love of your family and friends, animals, hobbies or job, but most importantly - love of yourself.  Often associated with the Heart Chakra, Rose Quartz is the perfect stone to help open your heart center.

At My Mahana, we feel it is so important to make time during your week to simply recognize your self-worth and take time out of your busy schedule to love yourself. We have created a very simple and easy routine inspired by the Rose Quartz crystal for you to follow each week.

Give your body what it needs
Whether its yoga or going for a run it is important to reward your body and mind. Ever heard of endorphins!? Many people like to exercise wearing or surrounded by Rose Quartz as it is believed to strengthen muscles as well as treat the heart and help blood circulation.

Soothe your soul
Have a bath and light a candle! This is the perfect way to unwind after a long day. You can even place Rose Quartz stones in and around your bathtub to fully indulge yourself in unconditional love.

Unplug
Take one hour every day to be free of your phone and all electronics to completely switch off and free your mind. Keep your Rose Quartz crystals nearby as the stones are understood to be calming and tranquilizing to the person who holds them.

Catch some Z's
Get 8 hours of sleep a night. Easier said than done. Some people even sleep with Rose Quartz under their pillow as it is believed to bring out your true emotions in your dreams and acts as a way of healing.

The Rose Quartz crystal is such a beautiful and meaningful stone to have in your home or on your wrist!  My Mahana carries a full collection of different Rose Quartz stones that you can shop HERE.  Give love, and love will come to you.
