Stone meditation

[Emy]

Well, this meditation was posted in the tarot forum (under the name witch medicine...), SilverVenus thought that it might be a good idea to post it here too, so here it comes! :)

Stone meditation
Find yourself a stone, any stone, with the size of an ostrich egg. Lay down, place the stone on your belly, over your belly button... Make your breaths sound like the ocean. Let your breathing get relaxed and soft. Relax your entire body and keep taking deep breaths.
All the pain that is in your belly, all anxiety, stress, worry, fears etc you breath out and into the stone through your belly button. When you breath in, you take in the calm relaxing and firm power of the stone. Breaht out stress and worry, breath in the calm power. Keep doing this until you feel that the worries, pains etc have lost its grip, they have left you and your belly now feels soft and warm again, no tensions there anymore.
Relax and keep breathing for as long as you wish for afterwards. When you are done, cleanse the stone by rinsing it with water... see how all the negative feelings that recently were in your belly are letting go and getting rinsed away from the stone and off with the water and out to the ocean, where the ocean will take care of those feelings and turn them into love... After you have rinsed the stone it is as good as new again and you may put it somewhere for safe keeping to be taken out when you need it the next time. Don't forget to thank the stone, the water and yourself. It is done!


Blessed be, and good luck!

Very cool. Thanks for sharing with more of the forums.

That is a great mediation! I've done similar things over the years. Obsidian works great for this.

Another thing you can do with the stone is tell it to transmute the energy it absorbs into something it can benefit from. The stones themselves can transmit the feelings in to love as well as the ocean. Less of the burden on the stone, and the water cleansings can be more of a recharge.:)

P.S. another reason obsidian is good for this method is, since it is essentially born of fire, it has the transmutive properties already built in to it. Or so the stones tell me.:D

also..
if you bring a stone with you from some place you've travelled, and use that to meditate, you'll get some interesting results (especially if you meditated before picking up the stone!).

Wow ! Talk about getting transported back a year of two! That very same lesson came across my old yahoo club Druid s of Peace least a year or two

That is a great piece though

Peace,

Hi there,
I have done some stone meditation and 'cold reading' myself but I am curious to know by what and how does one 'know' when it is time for the stone to be cleasned? I have also used the moon to recharge the stones, but would be interested in hearing other variations of this. Thanks.

Welcome! :wave: Pull up a log. :biggrin:

Sorry about the delayed response, been a little busy w/work [sound of paper shuffling] .

Some say the stone will feel cold, heavy, light, muted, thicker...Each person recieves and transmits from/to stones differently.

Personally, I belive in preventative maintenance. ;) :rolleyes: :D I cleanse mine on a basis of the moon, every month. More often if neccessary.

< Advanced technique > Take a medium glass bowl and fill it with dried sand, preferable beach, river, etc. you gathered yourself. Don't forget to thank the water for the gift!
After having blessed the bowl as you see fit, place the crystals, point up, in the sand for at least 24 hrs. This will clear the crystal. The sand absorbs and dissipates the energies.
Caution- placing this in the sun has up to doubled my crystals properties!:eek: ;)

Anybody else?

Peace,
Twig
