Rhodonite

Rhodonite promotes the energy of love.  In this case, the love is more outer directed than with some of the other pink crystals.

Rhodonite encourages using one’s gifts and talents for the benefit of the community.  The outer-directed love engendered by Rhodonite is one of altruism and generosity, using one’s talents to bring gifts to others.  This path of generosity often offers greater satisfaction than any amount of receiving what one wants. 

Rhodonite attracts the people and situations best suited for one’s unique talents, and in so using them, one can experience fulfilment of the deep desire to love and be loved.  Rhodonite can also enhance the depth, clarity and meaning of one’s inner experiences, making it easier to understand the messages behind one’s dreams and visions.  It can provide a psychic link to the archetypal pattern of personal destiny, helping one remain “on the beam” for the fulfilment of one’s highest aspirations.

Rhodonite is a stone of grace and elegance. It decreases your anxiety levels while simultaneously increasing your attention to detail. It works to heal your Heart Chakra, opening you up to unconditional love and increased service to mankind. The bright pinks enhance passionate love, while the shiny black grounds your energy, allowing you to have a passionate love that is also grounded. It is also a great stone for expressing love.

Rhodonite is perfect for maintaining your calm centre and personal power, giving you the strength to stay true to your heart and ideals. It strengthens your ability to remain heart-centred in any circumstances. Indeed, its helps you stay centred in Divine energies especially when under stress, whether it be environmental or interpersonal.

Rhodonite aids in perceiving where one’s talents lie, and in using those talents for the highest good of all.  It is a stone of learning and development - encouraging one to expand or perfect one’s skills so those skills can be employed to help others.  Rhodonite carries the energy of cooperative community.  It speaks to us of our responsibility to use our skills to assist in the spiritual birth of the Earth and each other in these times of transformation.

Rhodonite is truly a stone of power.  Power is simply the ability to recognise here one can utilise one’s energy or talents to effect change on the Earth plane.

Rhodonite supports the flow of chi through the meridians of the body and helps direct that vital force to the endocrine system, which in turn supports one’s energy and vitality. 

Rhodonite is a stone of self-worth.  It aids one in feeling sure about one’s purpose.  It can help one find a stronger sense of self and a clearer call toward one’s spiritual path.

Affirmation:  I call forth my hidden talents and abilities, and I use them lovingly for the benefit of all.
