Today I want to discuss how the Stone People can help us keep our New Year’s promise to our self to shed some excess pounds. By now, some of us are already waivering and being drawn back into old habits. Fortunately there are some wonderful stones and crystals that can be used as tools and support to achieve your weight loss goals.
Now, just carrying around these stones isn’t going to cause those excess pounds to come off, but you know that already. Yes, I know we’re still looking for the “miracle pill” to shed those pounds. This is just a reminder that we still have to be active and proactive in our weight loss journey by having a healthy diet and getting some exercise. Even though these stones and crystals aren’t that “miracle pill”, they provide some nice benefits that help us to stay on track.
Some benefits of using stones and crystals to support your weight loss efforts:
- Suppresses Hunger
- Raises Metabolic Rate
- Reduces Fatty Deposits
- Supports liver detoxification
- Releases excess weight from Stress & Anxiety
- Raises Self-esteem, self love
- Help Stop Addictive Habits

If getting healthier and more fit and/or shedding some excess pounds in 2014 is on your “To Do List”, I recommend you find a few stones that resonate with your goals and ask them to assist you. You can carry them in a bag or pouch, wear them as jewelry (they would make a pretty necklace, bracelet or chain for your eyeglasses). Place some of the stones in your pillow case at night or simply meditate with the stones.
Don’t forget to cleanse your stones both physically and energetically. There are many places on the internet where you can learn how to cleanse the stones if you don’t know how. Then, gather your stones in your hand and fill them with your intention or a positive affirmation to activate them for weight loss.
Here’s to achieving your goals with the help of the Stone People!
