Best for: grounding a scattered, restless mind
Stone in the Palm is a tactile grounding meditation that uses an ordinary object — a pebble, a chip of gravel — as the focus of attention. You'll let the stone lie unheld in your open hand and rest your awareness on its weight, texture, and quiet permanence while your breath slows. The practice trains you to anchor a wandering mind in something solid and real, returning again and again to the simple fact of the stone. Keep one nearby for moments when you need to come back to yourself.
