**LOVE TO COLOUR?** Colouring with Cats #114 ~ Getting Your OM’s on with Mandalas on Mondays ~ **What Is The Best Crystal For Love** And Smooch Shows Off The Crystal of the Week ~ Rose Quartz

Supurr Monday greetings meautiful furiends

We do hope mew had a lovely weekend, and not a total washoout like ours! MOL

Continuing with our fun crystal series, here's our:

Crystal of The Week

&

What is the best crystal for love?

There's only one that we can think of, and that's rose quartz.

It comes in all shades of pinks; from frosty ice pinks, all the way through to delicious peachy tones, and can be really opaque, or some can be supurr translucent.

Here at BBHQ, we have tumble stones - top right picture, some of the obelisks - bottom right, and a few chunks of raw, unpolished crystal - bottom left. We also have loads of tiny rose quartz tumble stones; they are about 1 cm or 1/3" and look really cute in heart-shaped glass jars. 

Anyhoo, enough of our collection, let's tell mew a bit about the gem lore surrounding these lovely pink stones. Rose quartz is purported to be the stone of unconditional love and assists in inner healing and self-love. It appurrently resonates with the heart chakra and would be great to use in a meditation purractice as they have a calming and soothing vibration.

And if mew're looking to attract more love and harmony into your life, rose quartz is reputedly the go-to crystal.

In some texts we've read, it supports healing from a broken heart and can help with grief and loss too. And also assists with releasing and soothing internalised pain.

Rose quartz is also said to help with self-forgiveness, and increases self-assuredness/confidence. And some information suggests wearing a pendant near the heart chakra, or if that's not your thing mew can get lovely gemstone bracelets too. The P.A. buys gemstone beads and makes her own bracelets - there's always one of these in our give-away goodie bags.  

Smooch is getting up close and purrsonal with this little obelisk, he said and I quote, "There's some good vibes there dude!" 

So if mew're looking for a pretty crystal or mew just love pink, this one is a must-have to add to your collection. Rose quartz is an excellent stone to have.

(disclaimer; we are not health or medical practitioners, info for entertainment purposes only.) 

We hope mew've all had a totally epic weekend, and that mew're ready for the week ahead, so let's jump right in and start as always with our little breathing exercise, which we're sure mew all have down paw by now...  but if mew've forgotten, stop what mew're doing for a moment and take deep fulfilling breaths; counting to five on the inhale and five on the exhale:

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Smooch is here again to offur mew assistance in getting your OM's on and Zen Harmonies happening, so just press play, close your eyes and follow his instructions.



Don't mew feel better already?  I know we do!

All the mandala's featured are created & designed by us, aka The B Team.

Here's this weeks mandala to reflect all the pawsitivity and love of Rose Quartz, it is one we drew a long time ago, but we thought as it's so purretty it would be a shame not to share it again, and it looks gorgeous coloured in.

Right-click image to save and/or print the mandala.

And here's our finished version... obviously we chose a lovely colour palette or reds and pinks. 

 Coloured with glitter and metallic gel pens.
