Awakening Compassion: Raw Rhodonite & Pink Opal for the Heart-Wounded

Awakening Compassion: Raw Rhodonite & Pink Opal for the Heart-Wounded

The Heart That Hurts Is the Heart That Loves

We don’t just carry wounds.
We carry stories—of betrayal, rejection, abandonment, disappointment.

And somewhere inside those stories is a whisper:

“Maybe I’m too much.”
“Maybe I’m not enough.”
“Maybe I’m unlovable.”

But what if healing isn’t about fixing those wounds…
What if healing is about bringing softness to them?
Not to make them disappear—but to hold them so gently they begin to bloom again.

That’s where Rhodonite and Pink Opal come in.

Not flashy. Not loud.
These are stones of compassion, self-forgiveness, and nervous system repair.

They don’t ask you to be strong.
They ask you to be tender with what’s still raw.

🌬️ Ritual:The Heart Holding Ceremony

Purpose:To nurture emotional safety, release residual pain, and open to gentle self-compassion using raw Rhodonite and Pink Opal.

You’ll need:

  • 1 Raw Rhodonite

  • 1 Raw Pink Opal

  • Soft fabric or shawl (preferably rose or white)

  • A journal or parchment for forgiveness letters

  • Quiet space with dim light or candle

  • Optional: rosewater or calming tea (e.g. chamomile, rose, tulsi)


Ritual Steps:

  1. Sit wrapped in your shawl or fabric, holding both stones at your heart.

  2. Begin gentle breathwork: inhale 4 counts, exhale 6 counts, letting your shoulders drop.

  3. Whisper:

    “My softness is sacred. My wounds are welcome here.”

  4. Write a short letter to your heart, or to the person/past event you are still holding pain from.
    Example prompts:

    • “I forgive myself for…”

    • “I release the version of me who…”

    • “I still feel sad about…”

  5. Fold the letter and place it under the Pink Opal. Let the Rhodonite rest on top.

  6. Say:

    “I am still worthy. I am still healing. I am still love.”

  7. Close with warm tea, music, or stillness. Let the stones rest by your bedside or under your pillow for 7 nights.
