What is Hematite? 

Hematite is the most common Iron ore, and it is the most abundant mineral on the Earth’s surface. Hematite can range from earthy to metallic in luster and is found in red, brown, black, and silver colors. It is not magnetic unless it contains Magnetite. 

When Hematite is dragged across a surface, it will produce a reddish streak, which is unusual for a gray-colored rock. Hematite forms from hydrothermal fluids or magma flowing through a rock mass. It typically develops in sedimentary environments, and it was originally found at the bottom of the ocean floor. Billions of years ago, the photosynthesis of cyanobacteria released the first free oxygen into the oceanic environment, resulting in the development of Hematite. This crystal provides stability and protection by grounding you in a deep sense of self-esteem. 

Hematite Properties For Health

Hematite regulates blood supply and supports the kidneys, where your blood is filtered. If you suffer from anemia, this stone will help you overcome it. Hematite also stimulates the absorption of Iron, a critical component for your red blood cells. If you suffer from thyroid issues, Iron (specifically iodine) will balance your thyroid’s hormones and regulate its proper functioning. Hematite can also help with blood pressure issues. 

Hematite is known for easing cramps and helping with sleep-related issues. When you are having anxiety, Hematite will calm you. This stone also supports recovery from bone-related injuries, like fractures. 

Hematite also frees you from addictive behaviors. It regulates disordered eating, and it can help you quit smoking. 

Metaphysical Benefits of Hematite

Some healers have called Hematite the “stone of the mind;” at My Dream Crystals, we call it the “Back to School stone!” This crystal stimulates your mind, sharpening your critical thinking abilities and increasing your memory by stabilizing your nervous system. It improves your concentration and focus, making it the perfect study tool.

Hematite also grounds and protects you. It dissolves negativity, providing you with a sense of optimism and self-confidence. With this empowering energy, Hematite gives you courage, strength, and endurance in the face of adversity. This crystal looks out for you, so when you work with Hematite, you can trust in the divine plan. 

Spiritual Aspects of Hematite

Hematite balances your Yin and Yang energies. It also stimulates a stable connection between your mind, body, and spirit. In Feng Shui, Hematite can be used for grounding, and protection, resulting in tranquility. However, Hematite can also be energizing, promoting balance between creative drive and the need for calm. 

Hematite aids in the ascension process; it encourages the combination of the higher self with the physical self. Astrologically, Hematite relates to the zodiac signs of Aries and Aquarius. It represents the elements of Earth and Fire, while resonating with the Root Chakra. Hematite also works with your Solar Plexus Chakra to promote self-confidence and resilience. In numerology, Hematite vibrates with the number 9, symbolizing completion.  

How to Use Hematite 

Hematite is a very powerful crystal for grounding meditation practices. When you are in need of balance, self-confidence, or focus, carry Hematite with you. It is particularly helpful for high-stress situations, such as presentations or difficult conversations. Hematite’s calming and focusing abilities make it perfect for use in your workspace, either at home or in the office.

It is also an excellent study tool and supports your journey to higher education. If you struggle with insomnia, leave a Hematite stone under your pillow to ease you into a restful sleep. 

Use it in your North bagua area, which represents career and life path, or place it in the West bagua, which resonates with creativity and children. 

Hematite and The Archangels

Use Hematite to invoke Archangel Zadkiel and allow his violet ray to cleanse and clear your mind. Hematite and Archangel Zadkiel can ease the “monkey mind” and bathe you in peace. In this state of peace you are open to the inner murmings that bring you clarity. Hematite and Archangel Zadkiel lovingly offer you this clarity to shift your attention to what higher vibrational thought or action you would like to focus on. The stone of logic can assist you in tapping into the memories of this life and past lives to bring forth the knowledge you already possess and the soul lessons you’ve completed.

Use Hematite to invoke Archangel Michael - the divine protector. Hematite and Archangel Michael bring you back down to earth and in your body so that you can transmute any fear into courage. Courage is the antidote for fear. Hematite and Archangel Michael offer you protection when you are boldly looking fear in the eye. Archangel Michael lovingly reminds you that fear is just an illusion on the 3D plane and to love yourself when this feeling arises. Courageously feel the fear then lovingly invite it into your heart space to alchemise. By offering this fear love you can actually repel the illusion itself or integrate it into a higher-frequency. Hematite and Archangel Michael offer you assistance on this transmutation that works like magic.
