How to work with them
A new beginning has two halves. There is the release half, where something is over and has not been set down yet, and the arrival half, where the space is clear and the work is nerve. The traditional threshold stones belong to the arrival half, and the grounding, absorbing stones belong to the release half. Choosing well means knowing which half you are standing in.
Whichever stone you choose, cleanse it when it's new and now and then after. Our cleansing guide walks through seven gentle methods.
