How to use stones to sleep better?
All of these stones can be used by placing them under your pillow for optimal effect, or near you on your nightstand. For stronger stones like hematite and tourmaline, it's recommended to initially place them under the bed. Feel free to use medium-sized stones or several small stones to maximize their effectiveness.
Using stress-relieving stones during the day and leaving them away at night can be more effective for light sleepers who need to release negative energies. Choose between softer stones and more assertive ones depending on your needs and personal feelings.
