Rhodochrosite is an outgoing giving stone that aligns with the 3rd and 4th chakras and elements of both fire and water. The optimism it brings makes it a terrific stone for those that feel lonely, or are in a sorrowful place. Rather than encouraging us to send out love like many pink ray stones, rhodochrosite directs us first to self healing, especially the inner child part of us. If we were victims to physical, sexual, or emotional trauma, the suffering/shaming may have caused us to repress memories or even pushed us toward self-abandonment.
These experiences are a huge drain on our life force energy. Rhodochrosite reconnects us to a sense of playfulness, and helps us rediscover our inherent gifts and talents in creative ways, bringing what was lost back into our conscious lives. The lessons of self compassion and forgiveness vibrate powerfully with this stone ally in our hand. Facing fears and healing these wounds are key to reclaiming our true authentic selves.
Rhodochrosite shares one of the most loving and soothing frequencies of any stone. Wearing it over the heart supports courage and confidence when actions need to be taken. Kept it in a pocket, it will foster joy and that sense of magical happiness natural to children. Physically, it is a good stone for relief of tension during challenging times, anxiety, or depression, and generally beneficial for and nervous system imbalances.
