Rhodochrosite – Seer of Love, Knower of Thyself

Empress of China

Rhodochrosite is an amazing stone that works with the heart. It is known for the ability to see how love will follow on a certain path but is more important as a stone for the love of self. This stone doesn’t care what anyone else thinks and gently brings the user into clearer awareness and action of self love.

Rhodocrosite is a beautiful and lovely stone that can carry the user on a journey into their heart. Use this stone to travel into the emotional body and reconcile messages, beliefs, and thoughts that no longer serve us. This stone will softly and gently show the wearer of all that one needs to know about oneself. The stone is not shy and encourages intimate friendship with all parts of oneself.

Don’t worry, this stone is so soft and gentle and loving that no matter where she takes you you will feel the soft hug of her loving presence. You are never alone with Rhodocrosite by your side – all parts of you will be friends, loves, connected and open.

Rhodochrosite is also known as Inca Rose, because of the belief the Inca have of the blood of their former rulers being turned into this stone.

The beautiful red-pink colour of Rhodocrosite attracts people from all walks of life. It is a stone that is heart-centered, with many saying it is the Stone of Love and Balance, and a healer of the Earth that shows love to the Mother of us all.

This is a stone that will open up a closed heart, and heal a heart that has been jaded by life and the past. Rhodochrosite will help calm down anxieties and promote deeper insight with love and compassion into any situation. The stone will help to align a persons thinking to a balance between thinking about others and themselves. It will awaken the interest of the user to responsibilities and duties regarding community and society. Responsibilities are not a burden, but something to with joy.

Self-confidence and self-love grows. Energy and passion increase as the stone works with the user to guide them in their personal healing journey, and to what they truly love to do, and be.

Using this stone will help the user to regain trust in the world and people that come into their lives. Rhodochrosite works on the psychological level to release past trauma, and will help increase concentration, a feeling of inner peace, and forgiveness for the user and others.

The stone brings forth the feeling that we are never alone and always loved and helps the user to learn how to love themselves instead of filling a void with food, other people, shopping, etc. This in turn teaches the user how to have healthy relationships with themselves and other. While it does this it helps bring out a positive and enthusiastic attitude – can be a positive influence on people experiencing depression.

It is said that Healers can use this stone to clear the auric field as well to increase love on all levels.

Physically Rhodocrosite focuses on the kidneys and reproductive organs. It is noted for its healing work in blood pressure, circulation, joint problems and migraines.

Rhodocrosite works with time, so allow a week’s time to pass with consistent usage before expecting to see a result. I saw results in about a week when I worked with my Rhodocrosite.

Boundaries and the Solar Plexus

I was looking for fences, and I found this stone fence sticking out from between two wood fences. When I took the picture I discovered the face... and contemplate more...

This is something that I have personally have a lot of trouble with, though I am far better now than I ever have been. It has taken a long time for

me to understand exactly what a boundary is, what it feels like (which is can be a necessity to me in understanding things fully) and how I encounter them.

When I left Winnipeg I recall Grams telling me that I have no boundaries. At the time I was slightly miffed to hear that, insulted even. Of course I had boundaries! Everyone has boundaries! That statement brought into my awareness boundaries and boundary setting and began my attempts of understanding what she was talking back.

Now I look back and I can see that I really didn’t have boundaries. I barely have boundaries today – though they are formulating and shaping themselves as I become more aware of what I want, like and need.

Not working the last few months I’ve floated along with life as everyone else – aka people who I love and are very close to me – deals with their busy schedules and lives. I’ve gotten bored, unmotivated, tired of working, and also found it very easy to schedule my activities around their lives.

So I’ve been around and very available.

My close friends have gotten used to me being available, and I love interacting with them. Lately, I’ve been highly motivated to finish up the projects that I’m working on by the end of March at the latest. This creates a crossroads for me – set my boundary and restrict my time with these people, or “float”.

Now they are the perfect people to practice setting boundaries with! Sometimes I fail, and sometimes I succeed, but my successes are becoming greater than the fails. Here are some things that I noticed about boundaries as I contemplated them this past week.

I fear creating and setting boundaries. Deep down inside I am scared that if I set one the other person will never want to speak to me again. It’s unrealistic and not true. I counter this fear with the belief that people like people who have boundaries – it makes you less passive and people feel comfortable because decisions are made mutually by taking into account both people’s needs, wants and likes.

Boundaries require awareness of who I am in the physical. A lot of the cues that I get that a boundary is being violated by me or another person is given in my physical body. There’s an intuitive thought or “alarm” followed by dissociating from my body. As I practice staying in my body, it’s becoming more obvious to me when I’ve disassociated. At those times I need to reach back into my body and focus on my breath.

Energetically, boundaries have a lot to do with taking back my power and controlling my life. This stems from an imbalance in the Solar Plexus chakra or energy center (you can read a post on here on MommyMystics website about what the chakras are), and most likely accounts for the pains and shifts that occur in my digestive/solar plexus area.

This is also coincides with the guidance I’ve been feeling and receiving messages of: Its time to take the power back in my life, to stand up for what

Stepping up into my power.

my needs and wants are. By setting boundaries I take control of my life and what happens instead of passively letting the river take me wherever it wants to go. Now I see this and understand it.

When my boundaries are set and stay in place I feel centered and grounded. Overall generally more at ease with life and what is going on with me. I feel like myself, and in my body. My stress level remains low because I feel that I am accomplishing everything that I need and want to do, plus experiencing what I want out of life.

I’ve learned that when I have set healthy boundaries on an energetic level the world around me does not drive me half as crazy. By shielding (imagining I am in a bubble of sorts), sometimes in multiple layers and colors, I am able to enter a Future Shop without getting a headache within ten minutes, or go to Walmart without becoming overwhelmed by the sheer volume of energy.

With healthy boundaries I am able to speak with people inside and outside of sessions without taking on their energy, emotions or feelings. I can feel my little bubble reflecting off the little bullets of emotions and thoughts. This makes me feel good about myself, which in turn increases my self-esteem. Aha, I think I’m getting it now how self-esteem works and is created… A to-do list doesn’t cut it for me.

Now that I have identified what it feels like to have boundaries and what I feel like when I don’t, reflection brings forth the next question: How am I going to better implement healthy boundaries in my life, and step further into my power?

My answer at this point: Improve communication skills. Awareness. Practice. Your suggestions are welcome.
