How to use your Stones

Before you use your stone make sure to cleanse it under sea water, river water, or tap water and then let it sit under the sun to dry and reenergize its healing properties. This is to remove any energies that have been picked up by all people who touched them before you. If you wish to have your stones Reiki charged, ask and we will prepare the stone for you.
You can carry the object in your pocket or create a small totem bag you can wear over your heart, or place in your pocket. (We sell small discrete black velvet pouches suitable for a man or a woman on our Accessories page.) You can wear it as jewelry. A string of gemstones in your ears, around your neck or wrist. If you spend a lot of time in your car, hang our "Car Gems" from your rear view mirror. Use our Gemstone Bookmarks in your meditation or reading books. Books you handle daily. That way the Bookmark is sitting next to you as your read, and you are handling the stones, and they understand what you are trying to do.
- You can choose one special stone each day and wear as a pendant on a chain. ( We sell chains on our Accessories page)
- You can place them in your bath water while you soak.
- You can put them under your pillow while you sleep.
- You can place it on your body, at the Chakra point which that stone affects and you think may be blocked.
