Our Heart Chakra or heart space is our energetic center of love, compassion, and emotional balance. It governs our ability to give and receive love, experience deep empathy, cultivate inner peace, and allows us to develop deep connections and relationships with others and our world at large. When our Heart Chakra is open and balanced, we feel a sense of harmony in our relationships and an ability to forgive-including self-forgiveness. When blocked, we may struggle with grief, resentment, loneliness, or feelings of fear.
Aromatherapy with essential oils can be powerful allies in healing, helping to release emotional wounds, invite in compassion, and restore balance. Here are our four favorite essential oils we love working with to support our Heart Chakra.
Rose (Rosa x damascena) is considered the queen of heart healing oils. It takes approximately 60,000 roses to produce one ounce of Rose Absolute! It has the highest vibrational frequency of any oil and is associated with love, beauty, and symbolic of ancient goddesses. It nurtures self-love, gently releases grief, and promotes heart-centered healing.
Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii var motia) is steam distilled from a grass that is grown across India into the Himalayan Mountains. Because of its sweet, soft rose-like scent, it is often used in cosmetics and fragrances. It calms the heart space, reduces stress, and promotes emotional stability. It encourages us to embrace change with an open heart and release emotional rigidity and is particularly helpful for those who have built up emotional walls or shields due to past trauma.
Lavender (Lavandula officinalis) is well-known for its calming properties, how it soothes emotional wounds, reduces nervousness, and releases fear. Lavender allows for forgiveness and acceptance to flow naturally.
Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) awakens joy, passion, and emotional openness. It can dissolve feelings of anger, sadness, and rejection. Use this oil when working through heart break, significant personal loss or past trauma. A very small amount, 1 drop, is all that's needed as it has a very strong fragrance.
You can incorporate these oils in your meditation practice, in a salt bath, or in an aromatherapy essential oil diffuser. Our Heart Chakra blend also combines some of these calming and emotionally uplifting oils paired with a Rose Quartz crystal and can be placed over your Heart space with a carrier oil.
Morning affirmations are a practice that can improve your outlook on life. Using uplifting and encouraging words and phrases can move your actions, thoughts, and mood from a place of negativity and fear into optimism and love. Apply 1-2 drops of heart opening essential oils mixed with a carrier oil, such as jojoba oil, to your heart space while repeating affirmations such as "I am open to love" or "I forgive and release".
By using these essential oils with intention, you can support your Heart Chakra, release past wounds, and cultivate a deeper sense of love and forgiveness!
Venus, the second planet from the Sun, is known as the planet of love, beauty, harmony, and pleasure. It influences not just romantic relationships but also our values, aesthetics, and the way we experience joy. Spiritually, Venus serves as a guide to self-love, abundance, and deep emotional connections.
Venus governs the signs Taurus and Libra, ruling over sensuality, relationships, and creativity. It carries a deep appreciation for nature, stability, pleasure of the senses, diplomacy and the pursuit of deep, meaningful connections.
When Venus goes retrograde, it brings a time of reassessment in love, finances, and personal values. Old relationships may resurface and we may be called to redefine our worth and heal past emotional wounds.
As the planet of self-love, abundance and sacred feminine energy, Venus encourages Divine love and an understanding that love is not just external but also an inner journey of self-acceptance. It reminds us that we can view beauty as a spiritual practice by honoring aesthetics and art as sacred forms of connection with the Divine. Venus can also represent abundance and attraction by embracing gratitude and manifesting abundance through self-worth. It is closely associated with soft, warm energy of Rose Quartz and the healing energy of Emerald.
Throughout history, many goddesses have been associated with Venus. These goddesses represent a Divine connection with the cosmos.
Venus can be a guiding force of love, beauty, and Divine harmony. It reminds us that love is of the highest vibration and that love begins within ourselves and radiates outward!

One of our most requested crystals in our shop is Moldavite! We frequently receive requests from customers searching for that perfect piece. People are intrigued by its ability to transform and expand your spiritual horizons.
Moldavite is a Tektite (a crystal created when asteroids, meteorites, or comet collide with our planet) that formed 14.8 millions years ago when a large meteorite crashed into what is now known as the Czech Republic. It was used for centuries as a talisman, amulet, and even fashioned into tools and weapons. According to Czech folklore, it was historically used as a gift to honor love and marriage. Many believe Moldavite has extraterrestrial origins and this suggestion has led to its reputation as a crystal to connect with a higher power.
The energy of Moldavite can have different effects on people. Some people feel flushed, dizzy, or off balance and they cannot be near it. Others utilize Moldavite on a daily basis, such as in their meditation or energy healing practice. Moldavite clears blockages and aligns all the chakras and this can affect our body, mind, and spirit. Because of its high vibration, it can transform your life and that journey will look different for everyone. Some may find relationships come to an end, unexpected job loss, financial changes, or other unintended challenges. However, all this is to remove what is toxic to your soul as the goal is to align yourself with Source and authentic spiritual self.
Moldavite can be used in dream time to delve deeper into your subconscious, astral travel, or connect with higher beings. It can awaken hidden memories and past lives. Keeping Moldavite in your bedtime may also disturb your sleep and cause restless nights. Be aware of how it affects your daily life and adjust as needed.
Moldavite is a powerful tool for the ascension process. It's recommended to work with it slowly and respectfully. Not everyone will be in tune to its vibration and that's okay. When you are ready for Moldavite, it will let you know.
