In crystal traditions, prehnite is often associated with gentle, patient care for yourself, a simple anchor during practice, and working through difficult feelings at your own pace. It's traditionally linked to the heart and solar plexus chakras. If that resonates, hold one over your chest for a few breaths when you need to soften. 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.
