The holidays are often stressful on multiple levels. Every old hurt can come forward and rip open. It’s a good time to perform a patience spell. You will need a pink candle in a holder, rose oil, and a small rose quartz. Bless and consecrate your supplies. Anoint the candle and yourself with the oil. Light the candle.

Follow your breath and focus softly on the candle flame. Hold the rose quartz in your hands. Attune to your heart. Feel yourself fill with peaceful, patient energy. Imagine a filter around your heart that screens out and disposes of any harmful words, gestures, or energy sent your way but allows friendship, joy, and goodwill to enter. Imagine any negativity sent your way bouncing off like rain on an umbrella.

Ground yourself by standing with both feet on the ground and imagining any excess energy flowing into the earth. Take a deep breath to center. Be sure to extinguish the candle or let it burn down. Carry the rose quartz with you throughout the holidays.
