Emotional Recovery and Change
Malachite has a strong connection to emotional recovery and change. Its color and energy help to clear away negativity. If you have anything you’ve ever apologized for—especially in the last “49 days” of your life—that could be summoning a negative energetic cloud around you, malachite could help clear that away. On its own, it wouldn’t do this. You’d need to summon or channel your own energy toward change. Malachite could help of and in itself; its color is pretty, and its presence is comforting to most people.
Improving Meditation
Palm stones are very useful when it comes to meditation. When using malachite, one can achieve a much more potent meditative state, with the stone as a tool for focus and grounding. Malachite is also a very special stone to use in heart-centered meditations. Not only is its energy conducive to fostering compassion, emotional healing, and clarity, but the green of malachite is also said to resonate with the frequency of the heart chakra. When holding malachite like this, it’s as if you’re plugging into a supercharged heart chakra energy! That would obviously be good for achieving a peace-promoting and relaxing meditation.
Stress Reduction with Palm Stones
Stress reduction is one of the benefits associated with using palm stones. They reduce stress because they are comfortable to hold and touch. People often carry palm stones in their pockets, using them when they need to fend off an anxiety attack or sort out their frazzled nerves. When you pick up a palm stone, you generate a lot of tactile stimulation. You can notice the temperature of the stone, its weight, and its texture. You can also give it some breathing exercises to help it recharge and reinstate your energy.
Cleansing Energy
Malachite is a common tool used in energy rituals designed to cleanse a space or personal energy field of negative or stagnant energies. This process can also be called “energy healing.” Practitioners perform this ritual by placing a malachite palm stone on or near the body and using the stone’s energy to draw out negative energy, much in the way one might use a magnet. Purifying the energy field is said to restore balance and emotional well-being, so many people who work in spiritual practices make a point of performing this ritual with some regularity.
Bolstering Bodily Health
Besides its benefits for mental and emotional well-being, malachite is also believed by some to support human beings on a more corporeal level. In practices where the healing power of stones is harnessed, malachite is frequently employed in rituals aiming at rendering a person free of physical ailments. This green stone, so lush and vivid, is thought by some to possess anti-inflammatory powers and is used, with largely anecdotal evidence backing its efficacy, in the treatment of joint pain.
Enhancing Creative Output
Malachite stone is a valuable companion for artists, authors, and restless minds seeking the next opportunity for creative expression. Its vivid color and riotous patterns prompt some of the same brain activity as viewing abstract art or experiencing synesthesia, the neurological condition in which one sense is simultaneously perceived as if it were another. In other words, when we look at or think about malachite, we are activating our creative centers in potentially beneficial ways.
Boosting Intuition
Malachite has a rich history concerning intuition and psychic power. For millennia, those with divination practices or who seek guidance from their inner wisdom have used malachite palm stones to assist them in accessing that deeper place of knowing. The energy of malachite is thought to boost the intuitive faculties, lending a greater confidence to the alignment of your decision-making with that deeper, more instinctual layer of intelligence.
Aiding Sleep and Dream Recall
Hopefuls for a good night’s sleep or those wishing to better understand their dreams might find malachite to be a helpful companion. Those using malachite in this way might wish to keep it close by during the night, maybe under a pillow or at the bedside, so as to be in an energetically harmonious environment with the copper carbonate. A malachite enhancing hope for dream recall would set the stage perfectly for a next-day debrief.
Individual Empowerment
The final profound use of malachite palm stones is in the aspect of personal empowerment. When working with these stones, one tends to build a greater trust in oneself and the decisions one makes. Malachite (the stone itself) has an energizing transform-a-stone effect that makes users feel good about making changes in their lives, which empowers them to change their lives in the ways they want to.
Conclusion: The Versatility of Malachite Palm Stones
In conclusion, palm stones crafted from malachite are an excellent tool to pursue a variety of wellness practices. Whether you are attempting to modulate your emotions, tame a particularly stressful day, or cultivate your creativity, malachite palm stones can help you. And it isn’t necessary to use them in a meditative context as you might think. Some of my friends just keep malachite palm stones in their workspace. They rub the stones for a moment or two during a long conference call when they’re on mute; it helps calm them and keep their energy poised and ready.
