Believe Stones
Around 50% of SME’s suffer from work-related stress and anxiety.
Believe Stones can be part of the solution.
For business owners facing high-stakes decisions and constant demands, stress and anxiety can become regular companions. Imagine a small tool, rich in tradition, to help manage intense moments of pressure: the Believe Stone. This time-honored aid, embraced across cultures, is designed with a smooth, polished surface and a thumb indent, inviting a calming ritual of rubbing it gently with your fingers to help refocus and unwind.
Also known as thumb or pocket stones, Believe Stones are crafted from selected crystals and polished gemstones, valued for their calming and restorative properties. Long cherished for relieving stress, they help individuals find quiet clarity, even on the busiest of days.
Incorporate the Believe Stone into your toolkit—not only as a stress-reliever but as a symbol of resilience. Keep one at your desk, in your bag, or pocket. When feeling overwhelmed, let this small but powerful stone help you center your thoughts, calm your nerves, and approach challenges with renewed clarity.
What Does A Believe Stone Do?
For those in fast-paced environments, Believe Stones offer a simple yet powerful tool for relaxation and focus. When rubbed gently, the stone stimulates acupressure points linked to energy pathways, sending calming signals to the brain, which prompts mood-enhancing hormones to restore balance and relieve tension.
Believe Stones have a rich, global history, from Ancient Greece to Ireland and Tibet. They served as physical touchpoints to release worries and anxieties—much like today. The earliest Believe Stones were smoothed by the sea, creating a texture ideal for calming the mind. Now, whether shaped by nature or polished by skilled hands, these stones retain their grounding presence, helping you reset during challenging moments.
What are the benefits?
There are many amazing benefits to choosing a pocket stone. Not only is there a psychological benefit to having a ready-made anxiety tool tucked away in your pocket, but the properties of Believe stones can be as simple as providing a pleasant and soothing sensation when touched, which can distract a busy or spiraling mind.
Anxiety relief - the sensory and psychological association of the Believe stone can help alleviate anxiety and stress as they provide a physical touchstone for shifting energy.
Getting grounded - another way of using the Believe stone is when you want to get grounded. Having a physical object that you can see and touch is a great way of coming back to the present moment.
Endorphin release - turning the stone over in your hand can trigger a pressure point response which sends signals to the brain and allows for the release of endorphins.
Believe distraction - just like popular fidget spinners or fidget toys, the act of having something to do with your hands has been found to distract the body and the mind. This can be truly useful when dealing with constant worry, as it can give your mind and nervous system a much-needed break.
Avoidance of bad habits - having a Believe stone can also provide instant distraction when it comes to bad habits. Whether it's reaching for a cigarette when you are trying to quit or indulging in negative thought patterns, by turning your attention instead to the Believe stone, you can break the habit cycle.
Meditation - Believe stones and palm stones work well with meditative practices. You can use it in a similar way to using a mala - in which you repeat a mantra or chant with every rub of the stone. This method can quiet the mind, build intention into your practice, and reduce any distractions. You can also pick Believe stones from certain crystals or chakra stones to align with your body's natural energy.
How to Use a Believe Stone
Receive a stone that feels like it belongs to you, a gift chosen with you in mind. Hold it in your hand, noticing how its weight sits in your palm, the feel of its texture against your skin, and its natural temperature. Run your thumb over any indentations or gently move it through your fingers, letting its presence ground you. Listen to the soft sound it makes as it shifts in your hand, connecting you to its earthy nature. Take a moment to observe its colors, patterns, and unique marks, using these details as a visual anchor to center yourself in the moment.
Enhance this practice by weaving in deep breathing, chants, or mantras. Whether you’re experiencing stress or feeling overwhelmed, pick up your Believe Stone. Let its comforting weight and smooth texture soothe you and activate endorphins, offering both comfort and prevention for panic moments.
Believe Stones serve as a great support, particularly if you’re prone to anxiety. Their grounding presence can calm the mind and bring you back to the present.

Since the earliest humans felt the subtle yet profound energy of Believe Stones, these sacred stones have been a source of comfort, strength, and inner peace. Used through the ages, their power has only grown as they’ve been combined with ancient mantras, rhythmic chants, and even the healing vibrations of music. Each element enhances the stone’s ability to inspire faith and belief, transforming a simple ritual into a deep spiritual practice.
In more recent history, with the advent of popular music, the theme of "Belief" has resonated powerfully across generations. Artists and songwriters have crafted melodies and lyrics that capture the essence of faith, self-belief, and perseverance, serving as modern-day mantras that uplift and inspire.
To honor this connection, we have curated a playlist of uplifting songs from each decade since the 1960s. Each track is a timeless reminder of the strength that belief can bring. Whether rooted in rock, pop, soul, or ballad, each song carries a positive message for those who believe—each a stone of its own kind, helping us all stay connected to our truest selves and dreams.
