Hematite strengthens our connection with the earth, helping us feel safe and secure, and supports the creation of healthy energetic and emotional boundaries. Known as a “stone for the mind”, Hematite enhances concentration, focus, memory and original thought.
Hematite balances yin-yang energies, aligning the body’s meridians and stabilising the ethereal nervous system and physical nervous systems. It dissolves negativity, protects from absorbing others’ negative energies, and boosts self-esteem, willpower, and confidence. It also aids in overcoming compulsions and addictions, such as overeating or smoking.
Physically, Hematite supports blood health, stimulates iron absorption, and promotes the formation of red blood cells. It helps with anaemia, kidney function, tissue regeneration, leg cramps, anxiety, insomnia, spinal alignment, and fracture healing.
