In Ancient Rome, Hematite was a popular stone for decorative purposes. Jewelry, weapons,
and even armor decorated with Hematite were traded widely. The dark color was thought
to be especially intimidating or protective. How is Hematite used today? Let's take a look
at its spiritual meaning and powers. HEMATITE MEANING
Hematite's dominant energy focuses on bringing balance to both the etheric and the physical
body. And due to its magnetic nature and our own ying-yang energies, it's nature is to
bring us back to equilibrium. Hematite belongs to the planet of Mars, the god of war, the
god of the battlefield. Therefore it is a stone of invincibility on all levels - physical,
astral, and mental. Although a warrior stone, it is also very fragile in nature. And thus
paradoxically, it looks to be nurtured and cared for by its owner. This beautiful metaphor
of appearing strong on the outside but being delicate on the inside represents how we as
humans give so much more importance to our Ego and the external world than we do to our
Soul. The ego hinders our evolution of deeper self-discovery and creates an illusion that
we each have an identity or are separate from each other. Upon detaching from the illusion
that we are just a physical body, magic starts to manifest in our lives. Through awareness
as observers of our thoughts, and as observers of the outer world, we can ascend much faster
on our souls' journey into higher levels of awareness. As you see, just the observation
of crystals alone, can be enough to shed light and wisdom about the world we live in.
HEMATITE POWERS Looking for the Hard Truth? Then Hematite
is your crystal. Hematite has the ability to draw out deep-rooted traumas. Like pulling
out weeds that were a part of your current belief system that the conscious mind is not
aware of. This type of shadow work may be intense and overwhelming but will bring you
closer to new truths. It will help you recognize your current mental state. This level of awareness
on a conscious level is actually your hidden power. And through becoming more conscious
of your behaviors, you will be able to reprogram your subconscious into a new way of thinking.
Unlike other dark and earth stones, say, for example, Obsidian, Hematite is a nurturing
stone. It is taking you on a gradual path during your Spiritual evolution, without causing
too much shock or stress. That is why it's ideal for those who wish to heal through confronting
their past, slowly and gently. Healing these traumas and rewriting old thought patterns
will initiate your connection back to Mother Earth helping you reconnect with your body,
bring your focus on the positive parts of life.
USING HEMATITE Both necklaces and bracelets place Hematite
over your vital pulse points, thus maximizing its protective energy. Wide cuff bracelets
and choker-style necklaces are especially good for driving the point of the protection
home. But bangles, pendants, or strings of stones are great too! Don't forget to consider
options for Hematite rings, too. It's a more discreet but no less powerful way to enjoy
the energies of this stone. Especially if you work at a place that doesn't allow wearing
larger pieces of jewelry. However you choose to add Hematite to your accessories and jewelry,
you can be sure that your life will feel the energizing and soothing effects of this protective
and powerful stone.
Hematite stones are a great option to introduce into your life if you feel that you are having
trouble grounding yourself in reality. It promotes logical, practical thinking, which
is the foundation for all great ideas. This stone is welcome in any crystal lovers' collection.
And the way in which it balances, energizes, and harmonizes with your home is wonderfully
serene. Test it out for yourself, and you'll be welcoming those same benefits into your
life in no time. Thanks for watching! Be sure to share this with others wanting a deeper
