Love & Relationships Ritual for Self-Love & Heart Healing

True love begins within. This ritual focuses on cultivating self-love, healing past wounds, and opening the heart to deeper connections—whether romantic, platonic, or spiritual. By embracing self-compassion, you raise your vibration and attract love in its purest form.

Best Time to Perform:

New Moon (for new beginnings in love) or Full Moon (for emotional healing)
Friday (ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty)
Anytime you feel called to reconnect with yourself

What You’ll Need:

A pink or red candle (for love, self-care, and heart energy)
A small mirror (to reflect self-love and inner beauty)
A rose quartz crystal (for emotional healing and attracting love)
Dried rose petals or jasmine (for love and softness)
A bowl of water (to symbolize emotional flow)
A piece of paper and pen (for love affirmations)
Optional: A few drops of rose or lavender essential oil

Steps:

Prepare Your Sacred Space
- Light the pink or red candle, setting the intention to open your heart to love.
- If using essential oil, anoint your wrists or heart center with a drop.
- Hold the rose quartz to your heart and take deep, calming breaths.
Mirror of Self-Love
- Look into the mirror and see yourself with compassion.
- Whisper words of love as if speaking to your soul, such as:
  “You are worthy. You are loved. You are enough.”
Heart Healing with Water
- Sprinkle dried rose petals into the bowl of water, visualizing your heart softening.
- Dip your fingers in the water and gently touch your heart center.
- Say:
  “I open my heart to love, beginning with myself.”
Write & Affirm Love Intentions
- On the paper, write what kind of love you wish to cultivate—self-love, healing, or a loving relationship.
- Fold the paper and place it under the candle or near your bed.
Seal the Ritual with Gratitude
- Hold the rose quartz and say:
  “Love surrounds me, flows through me, and begins within me.”
- Extinguish the candle, carrying the warmth of love with you.
