Compassion Meditation

Meditating with your stone is an excellent way to focus your energy on a specific healing intention.  To meditate, simply find a comfortable spot, close your eyes and hold your stone in your left hand, which is your receiving hand.  Laying down and placing your heart chakra healing stone on your chest is another way to directly activate that energetic center and invite energy in.  As you meditate, allow any thoughts that come into your mind to leave as easily as they came; if you have to invite them to leave a few times, that's okay too.  Setting a timer is a wonderful way to let yourself go during your meditation.  As you breathe, bring your breath into your heart space, feel it fill up, and release.
