💗✨ The Power of Rose Quartz ✨💗

🙂 Rose Quartz is one of the most subtle and gentle crystals you can work with… yet its energy is profoundly supportive.

It softens the edges of heavy emotions, steadies the heart, and wraps you in a quiet sense of comfort.

😕 At this time of year, many of us feel the absence of loved ones more deeply.

😢 We miss their laughter, their warmth, their presence.
Grief can rise unexpectedly — and sometimes it can floor you.

🫂 If this is you…
Take a breath.
Take a step back.
Acknowledge how you feel.

💗 It’s okay to want space.
💗 It’s okay to cry.
💗 It’s okay to feel overwhelmed.

🤔 Just don’t stay in that place.
Let the emotion move through you — not bury itself within you.
Feel it… honour it… and then keep going.

💯 You are loved.
You are held.
You are carried more than you realise.

And if you need a little extra support, hold a piece of Rose Quartz in your hand.

Let its gentle vibration soothe your heart, soften your breath, and remind you that your emotions are valid — and that you are never alone.

💗✨ love & light always Sharon
