Hematite

The name hematite is derived from the Greek word for blood αἷμα (haima), due to the red coloration found in some varieties of hematite. The color of hematite is often used as a pigment.

Physical Aid

It is one of the best stones to keep on the body to enhance physical endurance and blood circulation. If you are experiencing chronic joint pain, Hematite combined with Axinite may provide you with enhanced pain relief. It is not advised to use crystals in lieu of medication, however, Root chakra stones can complement a health recovery protocol. Root chakra stones may help a user with chronic pain naturally discover ways to heal their body through knowledge of self. The user would ideally begin to research the nature of their affliction and begin to match it with therapy modalities. This is the subtle way that a crystal such as Hematite may affect a person’s physical healing alongside the energy boost it already provides. 

Hematite helps to absorb negative energy and calms in times of stress or worry. Hematite is a very protective stone and is great to carry to help you stay grounded in many situations. Hematite is also good for working with the Root Chakra, helping to transform negative energies into a more positive vibration. Those in relationships can benefit from the cooperation vibe coming from Hematite.

Hematite can help one to find their own, unique gifts and to release self-imposed limitations, while still maintaining a healthy amount of self-control. Hematite aids in the Ascension process, by facilitating the integration of higher spiritual energies into our physical 3-D existence. This allows those who are doing spiritual work to still be able to function in the physical world and relate to others.

Carry Hematite when in need of balance and equilibrium, or when having difficulty focusing energies. Hematite is also said to be useful in legal situations, and is thought to strengthen self-confidence.
