Rhodochrosite attracts a soul mate but this may not be the blissful experience you're hoping for. Soul mates are people who help us to learn lessons in life, and although this is not always pleasant, it is for our higher good. Rhodochrosite teaches the heart to assimilate painful feelings without shutting down, and removes denial. This stone clears the solar plexus and base chakras. Gently bringing painful and repressed feelings to the surface, it allows then to be acknowledged and then dissipated through emotional release. Rhodochrosite then helps to identify ongoing patterns and shows the purpose behind the experience. This is a stone that insists you face the truth, about yourself and other people, without excuses or evasion but with loving awareness. Rhodochrosite is useful for diagnosis at the psychological level. People who have an aversion to the stone are repressing something in themselves they do not want to look at. The stone urges that they confront irrational fears and paranoia, and reveals that the emotions they have been taught to believe are unacceptable are natural. They then see things less negatively. Psychologically, Rhodochrosite improves self-worth and soothes emotional stress. Rhodochrosite is mentally enlivening. It encourages a positive attitude and enhances dream states and creativity. This stone links you into higher mind and helps you integrate new information. Emotionally, Rhodochrosite encourages spontaneous expression of feelings, including passionate and erotic urges. It lifts a depressed mood and brings lightness into life. Rhodochrosite acts as an irritant filter and relives asthma and respiratory problems. It purifies the circulatory system and kidneys and restores poor eyesight, normalizes blood pressure and stabilizes the heartbeat, and invigorates the sexual organs.
