Hematite Properties and Benefits
Hematite is the most powerful gemstone to use for grounding. It can help you clear away confusion and orient you toward practical action in the real world. It brings the energy of higher consciousness down through the chakras to your root, and helps you transform that energy into physical reality. Hematite grounds and protects us and can strengthen our connection with the earth making us feel safe and secure. It provides us with courage, strength, endurance and vitality. Some call it the “stone for the mind” because it stimulates concentration and focus while enhancing memory.
Hematite utilizes the magnetic qualities of our yin-yang energies to help balance the meridians within the body and to provide a stable equilibrium between the ethereal nervous system and the physical nervous system. It focuses energy and emotions for balance between the body, mind and spirit. Hematite can help to restore, strengthen and regulate the blood supply which aids blood conditions such as anemia. It also has been known to support the kidneys and helps to regenerate tissue. It stimulates the absorption of iron and the formation of red blood cells. It is helpful in treating leg cramps, anxiety and insomnia.
Hematite bracelets are handy to have on hand when you are working with higher-chakra gemstones as they help to keep you grounded. Some people use Hematite for clarity and focus, grounding or manifesting. Hematite is the mineral form of iron oxide. There are man-made stones called magnetic hematite, hematine, hemalyke, or hemalike that look very similar to hematite and are far more commonly sold for jewelry-making than natural hematite. Some are made of a mixture of ground up hematite and other minerals, and some are made entirely of other minerals. They are often labeled as hematite, so always be sure to check your sources when buying this stone to make sure you are getting what you want.
