What is a Worry Stone?

Worry Stones, also called fidget stones, soothing stones, sensory stones, or thumb stones, are porous stones with an intent to ease your stress and release the anxiety. 
According to conventional cognitive behavior therapy, the use of a worry stone can be a healthy, self-soothing exercise that can help counter negative comforting habits like lip biting or nail biting, as an example. Worry stones are often used along with other relaxation exercises to give the maximum benefits to the user.

Worry stones may be as small as a thumbprint or as large as the palm of your hand. Larger worry stones may be called palm stones, and look like the oval-shaped rocks used for stone massage.

How To Use A Worry Stone

For the record: There is no right or wrong way to use your worry stone, but there are different ways to employ it in your practice
Through a process called acupressure, rubbing the stones between our fingers or in our palms stimulates the numerous nerve endings. These points called pressure points connect to meridians within our bodies which stimulate aspects of the brain. This allows the release of endorphins, creating a naturally calming and euphoric effect. 
Worry stones are used by holding them between the index finger and thumb and smoothly moving our thumb back and forth across the stone. 
Gently move your thumb back and forth over the surface of the worry stone while focusing on a positive affirmation. This act, although so simple, will help release physical tension, ease worries and anxieties. After a few minutes, you should feel a sense of calm and renewed focus on the task at hand.
They are also a discreet way to take care of anxiety in public. Keeping a stone in your pocket and brushing it will help you counter tensed situations.
Worry stones can be used to disperse or ground negative energies and feelings. All stones are an element of Earth, offer gifts of stability, rest, and patience. Rubbing a worry stone helps the mind to focus and calms the mind and the body. It is also used to meditate, which is an excellent way to put all your problems into perspective.
Taking a test that will determine your future? Rub the stone during the exam. The beauty of worry stones is that you can ease your worries anywhere and anytime.
Make sure you have the worry stones within reach. Place them on your altar or in your pocket or purse so you can reach for them when you feel the stress building up.

Benefits of Worry Stone

Worry stones can be beneficial in many ways:

Worry stones play a vital role in reflexology as it helps to press the reflex points in the thumb and finger.

Therapists often give a worry stone to a patient during sessions for increased relaxation and anxiety relief.

A Worry stone can instill a better sense of calm during trying times. 

Cleansing Your Worry Stone 

Being in proximity to a worried person means that worry stones can sometimes pick up negative energy—in addition to dead skin, natural oils, and finger crud. If your worry stone has begun to look or feel less than shiny, it may be time to give it a good cleansing.
Most worry stones are safe to wash with gentle soap and water. (Exceptions are Selenite, Halite, and other water-soluble crystals). Energetic cleansing may be done by the method of your choice. Place your worry stone in a bowl of salt or leave it outside under moonlight or sunlight until it feels squeaky clean again.

When A Crystal Breaks

The breakage of a favorite stone or amulet causes a lot of concern among magickally-minded folx. Psychic stress or physical handling (or a combination of the two) can be enough to make a worry stone split into pieces.
However surprising it may be, a broken worry stone is not a sign of a curse or a bad omen. People will often say that a cracked crystal has “done its job” or “retired” and see it as a sign to move on. Some people’s energy seems to be harder on the stones than others. Thank your stone and dispose of it properly. I recommend placing the pieces in a stream or flowerbed to help disperse any personal energy…then shopping for a new worry stone.

HISTORY

Lore has it that our ancestors discovered worry stones by picking up an especially smooth stone in the dust and fiddling with it.
The ancient Greeks are usually credited with the invention of the worry stone—though similar concepts exist among Native American tribes, Tibetan Buddhists, and other cultures around the world. 
Greece’s many miles of rough coastlines yield stones smoothed naturally by the sea. In modern Greece and Cyprus, komboloi (worry beads) are found in nearly every tourist shop. Unlike rosaries and Indian prayer beads, Greek worry beads do not usually have a religious/spiritual meaning. They are carried as a fashion accessory or a pleasant way to pass the time.
In Native American lore, they carried stones in a bag or pouch and they were handed down to the younger generation. Through the bag of stones, the younger generation would have a link to their ancestors. They could ask them for help during times of difficulty.
In Ireland, worry stones are made from Connemara marble, a green-veined, serpentine-rich stone from that region. Rubbing a piece of Connemara marble is said to make worries disappear and to bring good luck.
Stone beads are also used in the Christian and Buddhist traditions in the form of Rosaries or prayer beads. The stones are rubbed between the fingers as specific prayers are said.
Coming into the forefront in the alternative medicine communities in the 1970’s, worry stones have increased in popularity, moving into the realm of therapeutic applications specifically for relieving stress, tension and anxiety.
