meditation stone Some people turn to a meditation stone to get themselves through stressful situations. You can find a meditation stone simply by walking along a beach and picking up a beautiful stone that will fit comfortably in your pocket. Most people like smooth stones with interesting shapes or colors to make a good meditation stone. Sometimes people don't even use them for stress reduction. They just like to carry the stone with them to remember a good time wherever they happened to pick them up. There are many rock lovers, and age knows no boundaries on this particular hobby. Rocks can be incredibly beautiful, and I've known people who are hiking or back packing in the wilderness who toss a 10 pound rock in their backpacks just because they fell in love with it. If you've ever backpacked, you know how 10 pounds adds to your load, especially if you're carrying your own water. So if you are at the beach or out in the woods, and you come upon a beautiful stone and want to make it your own personal talisman or meditation stone, don't hesitate, because you are part of a big group that loves rocks.
