In crystal traditions, serpentine is often associated with gentle, patient care for yourself, working through difficult feelings at your own pace, and a simple anchor during practice. It's traditionally linked to the heart chakra. If that resonates, keep it nearby during quiet moments or by the bed for rest. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
