Dostoyevsky's novel The Brothers Karamazov, which was also Freud's bedside book, tells the story of three stages in our lives through three brothers.

Dimitri describes our young, flighty, dreamy and romantic era.
Ivan represents the period when he could lose himself and his beliefs for the sake of the things he pursues.
Alyosha is the return of man to his roots, to himself, to his beings, to his country, to his beliefs.

Dostoyevsky tells us through Ivan that sometimes we don't know how to love those closest to us.

Ivan says somewhere:
“I think it is more difficult to love those who are especially close to you than to love strangers.”

The man in this study is Ivan. Lapis Lazuli and Rose Quartz are parents on a Calcite rock nest. The large tree fossil on the right represents rooting.

Having matured, taken root, taken his parents behind him, he has transformed into Aryosha, so to speak, sitting on the rhinoceros. In other words, he has reached his power.

Calcite regulates and activates the sacral chakra. It opens blockages. It ensures the integration and harmonious functioning of the body. It increases the person's self-worth, courage and confidence.

Rose quartz is the stone of the heart chakra and heals the person emotionally. It brings love, passion, happiness and peace to the environment it is in. It clears negative thoughts, makes room for unconditional love and strengthens it. It heals anger and resentment, provides calmness by relaxing the heart.

Lapis Lazuli increases communication skills. Reduces anxiety. Helps with mental clarity and deep thought.
