Removing Negative Energy Through the Rock-Throwing Method
A practice to eradicate negative energy from your life
Have you ever heard of rock-throwing? It’s an old practice with many benefits, including relaxation, cleansing, and restoring energy. In this post, we’ll review rock-throwing’s history, ethics, and advantages and how it can help you easily center yourself whenever you feel stressed out.
Rock-throwing has some science behind it. One study by the University of Michigan revealed that throwing rocks into a lake can help restore mental clarity in individuals. But why is this?
We have all built up negative energy from time to time throughout our lives. Some people positively handle this stress through exercise, meditation, or distractions. Others turn to alcohol, drugs, or other self-destructive behaviors. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Throwing stones into a lake can help smooth out rough emotions and release stress and anger that pollutes our minds.
Rock-throwing, or stone-throwing as a spiritual practice, is an ancient art dating back thousands of years.
Many ancient Egyptian and Chinese practitioners aimed to achieve peace by using rocks. The rock itself represents the solidness and firmness of spirit. On the other hand, the Earth symbolizes the natural energy emanating from within us and the universe around us.
The water surrounding the rock represents our ability to soften and flow with events as they present themselves — changing form but not losing sight of what truly matters. By holding on to our firmness of spirit while accepting change with flexibility (grace), we can achieve clarity that such practices can only inspire.
One of the practices observed by some Muslims involves throwing stones at a wall during a pilgrimage known as the Hajj. This wall, called the Jamarat, symbolizes the devil, and throwing stones represents rejecting temptation and sin. This practice is unique to the Islamic faith and unique from other religions. However, some other religions and cultures practice throwing stones or similar objects as a ritual or symbolic expression.
For example, in Hinduism, devotees may throw offerings such as flowers or rice at an idol or temple as a form of prayer or worship. In ancient Celtic and Germanic cultures, throwing stones or pebbles were believed to have protective and magical powers. In some Native American cultures, throwing stones or rocks are associated with spiritual cleansing and purification.
While there are similarities between the act of throwing stones in different religious and cultural practices, it is essential to understand and respect the unique meanings and significance behind each one.
Today, a process as simple and easy as rock-throwing could be so effective. However, looking back at the bigger picture, we can see much of this technique.
It uses several concepts and practices — visualization, Mindfulness, relaxation, and more — to help us lead healthier lives and cope with an increasingly stressful world.
In other words, there’s something out there for everyone. I hope reading about rock throwing has interested you in learning more about this powerful practice.
Below is an article with more information on Mindfulness.
Here is a more detailed instruction on how to practice this ancient method:
- Collect an array of rocks that might stick out for you and the number of stones you wish to throw.
- Go for a walk and find a lake, stream, or even your nearest beach.
- When you reach your destination, take a few minutes to breathe as you prepare yourself mentally, spiritually, and physically for the practice.
- As you hold the rocks in your hands one at a time, name that rock the negative energy that you wish to release from your life and place that energy into the rock.
- After placing that negative energy of being hurt by someone, or holding hate, and a bad experience, throw the rock as a symbol of letting go for good that negative energy forever.
- Repeat this exercise as much as needed for your complete cleansing.
