Ritual: Healing Heartbreak

This ritual uses the power of visualization and affirmation. Visualization is literally seeing pictures in your mind's eye but you can use a photograph to assist. Affirmation is saying something that you want to occur as though it is happening in the present. When you affirm something, you bring it into being. Most potent time: full moon.
You will need: 1 Rhodochrosite crystal
a pink candle in a candle holder made from Rose Quartz photograph of the person concerned (optional)
Choose a time when you will not be disturbed and find a place where you feel happy and at home - a place outside perhaps or a favourite room. Settle yourself comfortably, light the candle and close your eyes.
In your mind's eye, picture yourself facing the person who created your heartbreak. Allow yourself to fully feel the pain of that parting and the heartbreak that followed. Honour your feelings. In your mind, tell the other person how it made you feel. Say whatever you need to say - get it all out and do not hold back.
Pick up the Rhodochrosite and hold it to your heart. Feel the loving and forgiving energies of the stone enfold your heart, offering you healing.

Picture the broken shards of your heart knitting together again so that it is whole and freed from the pain. Say out loud: 'My heart is healed, my heart is whole, my heart is my own.'

Picture the broken shards of your heart knitting together again so that it is whole and freed from the pain. Say out loud: 'My heart is healed, my heart is whole, my heart is my own.'
Keep the stone in place. Now think about the person again and send the loving and forgiving pink energy of the Rhodochrosite to the other person. Say out loud: 'I forgive you, I let you go.'

Picture the other person turning and walking away from you, let them go with unconditional love and forgiveness. Blow out the candle.

Come back to yourself, feel the energy of the stone on your heart once О again. Feel how loving and forgiving it is, how it enfolds you within its rosettes, wrapping you in unconditional love. Say out loud: 'My heart is healed, my heart is whole, my heart is filled with love.'

Keep the stone with you to remind you that your heart is now healed..
