On a mental and emotional level
Hematite is a grounding stone that promotes the sense of listening.
It allows us to understand ourselves better, to identify internal problems, and will give us the strength to overcome them.
It also develops the ability to listen to others as well as patience and compassion.
It is therefore a stone that is well suited to people who work in professions where these qualities are necessary, such as social workers, psychologists, doctors, etc.
Hematite also provides more self-confidence and helps overcome shyness by giving strength and courage.
On the physical level
An energizing mineral, hematite has fatigue-relieving and stress-relieving effects.
This is one of its main virtues which allows you to be calm and relaxed.
Although hematite is black in color in appearance, it belongs to the category of red stones.
This category of stone, whose color symbolizes energy, action, confidence and courage, can sometimes be inadvisable for people with high blood pressure.
In the case of hematite, it is suitable for any type of person who needs to be invigorated or who lacks energy.
Hematite helps in wound healing
It has the ability to purify, and is able to cleanse the blood thanks to its great detoxifying power.
Its action on blood oxygenation helps improve metabolism.
Its high iron content helps support treatments for anemia and regulates menstrual flow in women.
On the spiritual level
Hematite is a "yang" (masculine) stone.
It will therefore help to reharmonize and rebalance excess yin (feminine) energy which would favor a temperament that is too timid or indecisive.
How to Use, Purify, and Recharge Hematite Stones
Hematite is a mineral that acts on the sacral chakra and the root chakra.
For example, you can wear your hematite stone as a bracelet, or keep it on you in the form of a rolled or raw stone to give you self-confidence and develop your listening skills.
Wear it next to your skin to benefit from its purifying properties.
Purify hematite by fumigation, by burning a bundle of white sage, incense or a stick of Palo Santo, or with the sound technique by placing the stone in a singing bowl.
Do not use water as it is a mineral that causes rust.
Then recharge your stone by exposing it to the sun for 1 to 2 hours, or by placing it on a pile of quartz for a day.
