The Healing Power of Palm Stones for Stress, Worry and Anxiety | Lesca Crystals

Posted by Cathryn Blair on 1st Sep 2025

In our daily lives, we’re constantly exchanging energy with the world around us. Some moments lift us up with joy and vitality, while others leave us drained, stressed, or unsettled. If you find yourself feeling tired or emotionally weighed down, palm stones—also known as worry stones—offer a simple, natural way to restore balance and invite calm.

What Are Palm Stones?

Palm stones are crystals shaped to fit comfortably in your hand. They can be smooth, polished or in another shape or form such as freeform shapes or natural generators with lemurian lines.

Their purpose is simple yet powerful: to help you release stress, recharge your energy, and replace negative thoughts with peaceful, positive ones. Because our hands are natural energy receptors, holding a palm stone allows crystal vibrations to flow more easily through the body, making them a deeply effective tool for emotional and spiritual support.

What size or shape should they be?

That's entirely up to you, whatever works or feels most comfortable to you and how you plan to use it.If you prefer a grounding weight, a larger palm stone may feel reassuring, while smaller or uniquely shaped ones can be slipped into your pocket or held discreetly for comfort throughout the day.

The Healing Properties of Palm Stones

Now its time to explore the healing properties of crystals and gemstones. Different crystals carry different energies, but palm stones as a whole share these beautiful benefits:

  • Promote peace and calm, soothing emotions during stressful times.

  • Offer clarity and focus, helping you connect with your higher self. Hold during meditation for calm, intuition and balance.

  • Sharpen intuition, opening awareness to inner guidance.

  • Enhance Creativity, certain stones can also help boost vitality.
  • Cleanse spaces, creating a more harmonious environment wherever they are placed.

How to Use a Palm Stone

The beauty of palm stones is how natural and intuitive they are to use. Hold one gently in your hand whenever you need comfort or grounding. For focused healing, you can:

  1. Place the palm stone in the centre of your hand.

  2. Rest it on the body area that feels tense or unbalanced.

  3. If desired, gently secure it in place with a cloth (or small bag) for several hours.

In meditation, palm stones can be held to deepen focus, balance the chakras, or amplify intention-setting rituals. Why not try burning some incense, resin or smudge to enhace your practice.

Everyday Ways to Work With Palm Stones

Palm stones are versatile companions for daily wellbeing. You might:

  • Keep Amethyst or Black Tourmaline by your bedside for restful sleep and protection.

  • Hold Rose Quartz to foster self-love and emotional healing.

  • Carry Citrine to spark creativity and confidence during your workday.

  • Place Selenite in your sacred space to purify energy and start each day fresh.

  • Use Fluorite when you need some mental clarity for creativity or decision making.

By incorporating them into your routines, palm stones become gentle reminders to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your inner peace.

Caring for Your Palm Stone

To maintain their energy, palm stones need gentle care:

  • Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth—never soak in water (especially Selenite).

  • Dry with a clean fabric.

  • Store in a safe container or soft pouch to prevent scratches or accidental breakage.

  • Energetically cleanse them as often as is required. For stones like obsidian and tourmaline that deal with negativity we recommend weekly or even daily.
