Crystals for Love (and Affirmations)

Happy Taurus season! The sign of Taurus is ruled by Venus. Venus is the planet of beauty, harmony, and love. We love love. Here are some crystals to help deal with and make it through different aspects of love in our life. A few love affirmations are included at the bottom as well, get creative and make up a couple of your own!

First, let’s get into the heart chakra, The heart chakra is the fourth chakra and it is the bridge between the physical(root, sacral, solar plexus chakra) chakras and the spiritual(throat, third eye, crown chakra) chakras. The heart chakra is green and it is located at the center of the chest. It’s element is air and it’s affirmation is “I Love.” Love and compassion are easily expressed when the heart chakra is balanced. It is simple to create joy and stay at peace when this chakra is in harmony.

Now, let’s discover some reasons our hearts may be heavy and need healing. When it is difficult to show or receive love or compassion, the heart chakra is not in harmony. This could stem from being out of touch with who we are and making us feel undeserving of love.

These can be used in a stand alone grid, created with intent and projected for some time. They can be used individually, either in jewelry or carried in the pocket, remember to program each one accordingly. They can be used on the heart chakra during meditation or a healing session. Try placing a grid directly on the skin where necessary.

Affirmations are words or sentences used to aid in meditation, healing, or simply to find balance. They can be said before meditation, after meditation, during meditation, during prayer, before bed, after waking up, when feeling up, when feeling down, when bracing and energetic shifts etc. There is no right or wrong time to do so, use your intuition and add loving intention. Here are a few I like to use. My favorite is “I love you” even if you is just me.
