Lapis Lazuli Worry/Thumb Stone

The Lapis Lazuli Worry Stone is a smooth, polished gemstone designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand.

Known as the stone of wisdom and truth, Lapis Lazuli has been revered for centuries for its powerful healing properties. Its deep blue colour with flecks of gold is believed to help alleviate stress, promote mental clarity, and encourage self-expression.

Holding or rubbing the worry stone can help you find calm during moments of anxiety, while also balancing the throat chakra, fostering clear communication.

Perfect for meditation or daily use, this worry stone enhances emotional healing, boosts inner peace, and strengthens intuition.

Worry stones are simple yet powerful tools for stress relief and emotional grounding. Here’s how to use them effectively:

1. Hold the Stone

• Place the worry stone between your thumb and fingers, usually your index or middle finger. Its smooth, concave surface fits naturally in your hand, providing a comforting tactile experience.

2. Rubbing the Stone

• Rub your thumb back and forth across the indented surface of the stone. This repetitive motion is calming and helps relieve stress and anxiety. The texture and feel of the stone can help you focus your thoughts and emotions.

3. Set an Intention or Focus

• Before using your worry stone, take a moment to set an intention. Focus on a specific issue you’re dealing with, or simply use it to relax and clear your mind. You can mentally repeat a calming affirmation or mantra while using the stone, such as “I release stress” or “I am calm and centred.”

4. Use During Meditation

• Worry stones can also be used as a mindfulness or meditation tool. Hold the stone in your hand while you meditate or focus on your breathing, allowing the act of rubbing the stone to enhance your sense of calm and presence.

5. Carry It With You

• Keep your worry stone in your pocket, purse, or by your workspace. Whenever you feel overwhelmed, take it out and rub it for a few minutes to ease tension. It’s a discreet and portable way to manage anxiety throughout the day.

6. Ground Yourself

• If you feel anxious or overwhelmed, rubbing a worry stone can help ground you in the present moment. Focus on the sensation of the stone in your hand, and let it bring your attention away from racing thoughts or external stress.

7. Use Before Sleep

• To unwind before bed, hold and rub the worry stone for a few minutes while taking deep breaths. This can help calm your mind and prepare you for restful sleep.

Using worry stones is a simple yet effective way to calm your mind, ease anxiety, and promote mindfulness throughout your day.
