This pretty rich pink Rose Quartz Dow Altar is a good size to use in your space for a Reiki self treatment or working with clients, to place by the bed, or for placing in the room of a loved one or one who needs extra emotional support. It imparts a deep & warm pink glow. Place this crystal on your altar or night-table and allow its soothing energies to provide you heart's ease, while you focus your attention on opening your heart during meditation sessions.

This piece has three seven sided faces opposed by 3 triangular faces, marking it as a special Dow Channeling crystal. Two of the three seven sided faces are asymmetrical with one of them being quite symmetrical. Channeling crystals can be used in a variety of ways to enhance your connection to inner spiritual guidance.

During a crystal healing or Reiki self-treatment session, place the seven sided face of the crystal in your left hand, pointing in toward your wrist or simply put one of the seven sided faces toward you. The left hand is the is the receptive hand. Close your eyes, and relax. Meditate quietly, observing your thoughts without pursuing them or allowing them to disturb your relaxation. Maintain a state of detached observation, neither approving or disapproving about your thoughts. Allow them to come and go, simply observing their passage. Maintain your attention on your breath, and attempt to breathe deeply and evenly. Breathe in slowly and evenly from the very bottom of your stomach and inhale deeply, until you have filled the diaphragm all the way to your throat. Exhale slowly and evenly through the nostrils, emptying the diaphragm all the way down to the very bottom of the lower stomach, several inches below the belly button. If you like, count the breaths as you go, until you reach one hundred. Throughout the meditation, visualize a powerful pink light streaming into your body from the crystal, filling it completely as you count your breaths, so that by the time you complete your meditation, your body is completely filled with the rosy ray.

This rose quartz altar projects a soft, soothing, gentle energy that resonates with vibrations of love, and is especially supportive in cases where an individual is developing the capacity for self love. It sends out an energy of unconditional love, as compared with passionate love, so the energy of rose quartz resonates with the heart chakra rather than the lower chakras.

This is a gently healing stone, allowing for the slow opening of the heart to healing and loving energies. It supports the wearer or bearer of this stone in all spiritual practices and daily activities that promote the development of compassion for all beings -- and especially for oneself.

Rose quartz has often been used in the treatment of wounds to the emotional body, and especially a wounded heart, but can be used effectively in treatment of wounds to the heart, throat, third eye and crown chakra. You can also use this stone during meditation to help foster loving kindness & cultivate compassion.
