Dear Body,
Let me begin by saying I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the times I pushed you past your limits, ignored your whispers of fatigue, or resented the beautiful imperfections that make you you. Today, with Serpentine cradled in my palm, I vow to listen. To honor. To heal.
Serpentine, named for its serpent-like patterns, has been revered for centuries as a stone of profound transformation. Its energy is like a mother’s embrace—soft yet unyielding in its power to dissolve old wounds. Metaphysically, Serpentine:
- Activates the Heart Chakra, bridging self-compassion and physical wellness
- Clears stagnant energy trapped in the body from past trauma or neglect
- Stimulates the Kundalini life force, reminding us of our inherent vitality
The Ritual: Writing Your Apology with Serpentine
Find a quiet space and hold your Serpentine stone. Place it over your heart as you breathe deeply. Let its mossy green hues remind you of Earth’s boundless capacity for renewal. Begin writing your apology letter with these prompts:
“I honor you for carrying me through...”
“I release the shame I’ve placed upon...”
“I promise to nourish you by...”
Need a sacred companion for this practice? The Chakra Tree of Life Pendant pairs beautifully with Serpentine, harmonizing energy flow as you write.

When Old Wounds Surface: Serpentine’s Soothing Support
As buried emotions arise (and they will), Serpentine becomes your anchor. Notice its cool surface warming in your grip—a metaphor for how compassion melts hardness. Pair it with joyful Citrine energy using the Natural Citrine Ring to balance depth with light.
Affirmations to Whisper with Serpentine
Speak these aloud while tracing the stone’s patterns:
- “My body is a sacred temple, not a machine to exploit.”
- “I release diets, comparisons, and deadlines—I choose ease.”
- “Every scar tells a story of survival. I listen with love.”
For amplifying self-love, layer with the tender energy of the Rose Quartz Stretch Bracelet.
Maintenance: Keeping the Dialogue Alive
Place Serpentine in your bath, charge it under the New Moon, or carry it in a pouch with lavender. For continuous heart-centered energy, the Citrine Flash Pendant makes a radiant daily companion.
Your Body’s Response: Learning the Language of Sensation
As you progress, you might notice:
- Gentle warmth in previously numb areas
- Spontaneous deep breathing during stress
- Cravings for nourishing foods/movement
This is Serpentine facilitating mind-body dialogue. Trust it.
A Closing Promise
Dear Body,
I may stumble. Old habits might creep in. But with Serpentine as our witness, I vow to keep showing up—to massage our temples when headaches strike, to rest when exhaustion whispers, to marvel at how our hands create, our legs explore, our heart beats on without being told.
Today, we begin again.
With Love and Chrysotile Clarity,
Your Soul
Note: Always cleanse Serpentine with moonlight or selenite after emotional work. Pair with hydration and gentle stretching for integrated healing.
