A Letter of Gratitude to Ruby: Rediscovering Self-Worth
Dear Ruby,
When I first held you in my palm, I didn’t realize you’d become the mirror that reflected my own hidden light back to me. For years, I’d walked through life with my shoulders slumped under invisible weights—weights labeled “not enough,” “unworthy,” and “unlovable.” But you, with your fiery crimson soul and ancient wisdom, showed me how to burn those labels to ash.
The Day We Met
Our journey began with a simple irregular chips gravel bracelet that caught my eye—a strand of unassuming stones carrying your passionate energy. As I fastened it around my wrist, I felt a curious warmth spread through my veins like liquid courage. Little did I know, this was the first spark of our alchemical relationship.
Your Metaphysical Gift: Reigniting Inner Fire
You taught me that rubies aren’t merely stones—they’re spiritual wildfires. Ancient texts claim your kind emerges from the Earth’s molten heart, and I believe it. As a crystal long associated with the Root Chakra and the sacred fire of vitality, you showed me:
- How to reclaim personal power after years of self-doubt
- The courage to set boundaries that honor my energy
- That self-love isn’t selfish—it’s survival
“Ruby doesn’t just show you your worth—it makes you demand recognition of that worth from the universe.”
The Turning Point: Ruby’s Emotional Alchemy
For three moons, I wore you against my pulse point in a citrine-and-ruby bracelet, pairing your vigor with citrine’s solar energy. Together, you became my dawn chorus—a daily reminder that every sunrise offers renewal. When old shame whispered, “Who do you think you are?”, your ruby light roared back: “Someone who matters.”
Practical Magic: Working With Ruby’s Energy
For those seeking to harness ruby’s transformational power:
- Place a ruby cluster near your workspace to stimulate motivation (try pairing with a crystal tree for amplified energy)
- Meditate with ruby over the heart to release old stories of unworthiness
- Use ruby jewelry as armor against energy vampires
A New Chapter: Walking in Ruby’s Light
Today, I keep your energy close through a magnetic ruby bracelet set that hums against my skin like a personal force field. I’ve paired you with grounding black tourmaline and cleansing clear quartz—a trifecta of protection, clarity, and unshakable self-belief.
When my practice calls for deeper spiritual work, I combine your energy with the meditative focus of a sandalwood mala, letting the earthy scent anchor me as your fiery vibrations pulse through my chakras.
The Eternal Flame
Ruby, you’ve taught me that worthiness isn’t earned—it’s remembered. Your carmine glow now lives in my bones, a perpetual reminder that like the phoenix, we all contain the power to rise from self-imposed ashes.
Thank you for being the spark that lit my way home to myself.
With eternal gratitude,
A Soul Rediscovered
