RHODOCHROSITE

Rhodochrosite can be representative of compassion and selfless love. It expands consciousness and integrating the spiritual and mental energies, imparting a positive and dynamic attitude. 
This is an excellent stone for relationships and things of the heart, especially for those who feel unloved. 
It is the chosen stone par excellence for healing sexual abuse victims. 
Rhodochrosite helps the heart to assimilate painful feelings without shutting down and removes denial.

This stone is also used to clear the solar plexus and base chakras; gently releasing painful and repressed feelings, allowing them to be acknowledged and dissipated.
Rhodochrosite also helps to identify habitual patterns and shows us the purpose behind them. It helps us see the truth about ourselves and others, without evasion or excuses but with loving awareness.
This crystal improves self worth and soothes emotional stresses; it is mentally enlivening and encourages positive attitudes, enhances dream states and creativity. 

Healing: It acts as an irritant filter and relieves asthma and respiratory problems: it purifies the circulatory system and kidneys, helps with poor eyesight, aids good blood pressure and stabilizes heart beat, invigorates the sexual organs. It dilates blood vessels, helps relieve migraine. 
Used as an elixir: relives infections, improves skin and balances the thyroid.

Rhodochrosite works well with Malachite. The drawing force of Malachite will bring suppressed emotional energies to the surface so that the harmonizing and comforting action of Rhodocrosite can be put to good use.  These crystals are good together when used in crystal layouts. Use anywhere along the midline of the body between the navel and the heart chakra to clear and balance the chakras.

Rhodochrosite is especially useful when used directly over the solar plexus point (beneath the sternum) to bridge the upper and lowers triads.
When it is worn in a semi-precious state, it channels spiritual awareness into the physical body to be manifested.
Gem quality stones can be used for meditation - to focus on the soul's purpose and to gain clarification as to our life's mission. They can be held in the left hand or placed on the third eye during meditation to receive their personal message. They can be placed or held at the points over the eyebrows, temples and/or the central suture of the head to stimulate the brain, facilitating more spiritual energy to inhabit our physical body and infiltrate thought processes.

NB:Crystal are powerful allies but should be used under the guidance of a professional.
