For thousands of years, mankind has used inanimate objects for religious and spiritual purposes. We have created elaborate rituals to "charge" and "sanctify" these objects from being regular physical things to something more. You can see evidence of this in any religion, sport or other group activity that human beings do - just pay attention to the "relics" that are being used and how we regard them as special.

Well, one such popular relic is the meditation stone. The meditation stone and its kin have been around for ages, because people love to collect shiny or unique, rare stones. You find something on the ground and you think, "Hey, that's a neat stone. I think I'll keep it - it can be my stone and representative of me." Well, there are many out there who use a meditation stone to charge it with positive energy and carry it around with them, or others who use the stone as a reminder of something. Eitherway, the best way to do it is to go to a stone shop and pick out a neat one you like and then hold it in your hand and think of good thoughts every day. Make the association of the meditation stone with something good, and you'll feel good every time you look at it!
