For Breaking Habits: Carry Unakite daily if you are trying to quit a bad habit (like smoking or overthinking); its steady energy helps you stay committed to the "new you."
-
For Meditation: Place it on your Third Eye (between the eyebrows) while lying down to help visualize your future and receive guidance on your next steps.

For Recovery: Keep it nearby when recovering from a major illness or exhaustion to help the body "remember" its state of perfect health.
Where to Keep It:

Under the Pillow: To help with "past-life" recall or to understand the root causes of current emotional issues through your dreams.

Workspace: To stay "level-headed" during complex projects that require both creativity and practical execution.

On the Belly: During pregnancy, it is often kept near the womb to facilitate a calm, healthy connection between mother and baby.
