Hematite Crystal Skull Bracelet

In Tibetan and Buddhist culture, skulls symbolize the transitioning of one life to another. They represent the optimism of change rather than the sadness of loss. In India, ancient gods and goddesses are often depicted with skull necklaces and bracelets, which represent the embracing of progression and transition. This Skull Bracelet is paired with healing crystals and made with the intention to help the wearer accept and embrace change and transformation.

Hematite’s power to ground emotions and thoughts creates quiet in a world of flurry. It helps Aries take stock of the situation and see where their priorities lie.

Hematite and Chakra Connection:

Hematite is commonly used to open and activate the Root Chakra.

The Root Chakra is where you connect with the earth and the energy of existence in the corporeal world. A stable and balanced Root Chakra means you constantly feel secure and safe in your existence. It also means that you have confidence in what the earth and the universe provide you. You are in touch with reality if you have a well-balanced Root Chakra.

Common symptoms of an imbalanced Root Chakra are: poor focus, negative thinking, disorganization, lack of zest for life, depression, anger and frustration with the world, and lack of gratitude.

Hematite Healing Properties by Intentions:

1. Communication and Clarity

One of Hematite’s healing properties is to ground your mental abilities to help you concentrate. Hematite is a great grounding stone for those who often lose their train of thought or space out in their daydreams. Its intricate ties to Mother Gaia will reel you back to earth and help you focus on the present, on the task at hand, and on your surroundings. This makes you less “scatter-brained” and more effective in your interactions at home, at work, and in your relationships.

2. Focus, Willpower, Motivation

Hematite’s inextricable ties to Mars and the Earth make it a killer manifestation stone that stimulates an ambitious yet sensible mindset. Mars helps bolster drive and confidence and the Earth brings common sense and focus. Together, these spur you into chasing after your loftiest dreams by taking grounded steps. You will learn to be organized, to set realistic expectations and deadlines, and to not get discouraged by failures, knowing that these are just part of the whole manifesting process.

3. Removing Negativity

Hematite can ground strong negative emotions to keep you from getting overwhelmed. During turbulent times, people either lash out or isolate themselves from their loved ones. Hematite helps control these impulses. It helps you pause, process, and respond to each emotion rather than react to them. With your impulses in check, you prevent yourself from unnecessarily ruining relationships or hurting your own wellbeing during bad days. It will encourage you to find better ways of coping and to seek out valuable support.

4. Protection & Spiritual Grounding

Hematite is an anchor for psychic workers and those who travel spiritual realms. As humans, we must acknowledge our physicality. If you lose sight of this, you can become neglectful of your body and health. This also defeats the purpose of psychic work because you become less effective in bringing insights from the etheric to the physical realm. With Hematite around, you will be protected during mystical excursions and will be reminded of the physical reality upon your return. Also as noted earlier, Hematite is great for protection from negative energy vampires in your life from your circle of work, family or friends.

5. Anxiety, Stress, Depression

Life can throw you into angry waves, but this earth stone’s strong, quiet, steady energy will keep you afloat until you reach solid ground. Earth is about living and growing.  When seeds are buried in the earth, life is created. By harnessing this energy through Hematite, you won’t easily be knocked down by adversity. When it feels like you have been buried, Hematite will remind you that like the seeds, you are just being planted and positioned to grow.

6. Fear, Insecurity, Worry

A misaligned Root Chakra creates a deep fear that permeates vital aspects of your lives. Health, friendships, romantic relationships, career and spirituality break down when you constantly feel threatened. By unblocking the Root Chakra, Hematite allows you to trust in yourself and in others again. You slowly regain confidence to let people in and allow love for yourself, flaws and all. This self-assurance helps attract people and opportunities to you, and change your life for the better.

7. Addiction & Self-Control

The Hematite gemstone grounds the mind and emotions, making it a wonderful companion to those recovering from addictions. When a person is addicted, they act out of impulse and give in to cravings. What Hematite does for them is it to ground dramatic emotions and mood swings so that they can process their feelings with a levelheaded perspective. This gemstone can also quell obsessive thoughts about their cravings and help ease the discomforts of withdrawal.

How to Use Hematite Crystals:

1. Wear Hematite – Wearing Hematite jewelry in the forms of necklace, bracelet, ring or earrings is a great way to stay connected to the stone’s energy consistently all day.

2. Carry Hematite – Carrying Hematite in your wallet, purse, or pocket is also a great way to keep the stone’s energy handy for when you need a moment to center yourself. When you have it in arm’s reach, you can hold on to it for a quick moment, breathe deep and allow yourself to connect to Mother Earth and get grounded again.

3. Place Hematite Near Your Space – Depending on the intention you’re working towards, place Hematite in the appropriate environment in your home, office, and bedroom. If your intention is to eliminate negativity around your home, place Hematite around your front door and around the outside corner of your house. This will create a protection grid around your home and help dispel negative energy from entering your sanctuary.

4. Hematite Meditation – You can meditate with the crystal of your choice in any shapes and forms (crystal skulls, crystal wands, crystal unicorns, tumbled stone, or even a piece of crystal jewelry). When meditating, recite in your mind (or out loud) a mantra or affirmation that resonates with what you want to achieve. Consistent positive self-talk creates a vortex of energy that is further amplified by the energy of the crystal.

5. Hematite Crystal Grid – Find the intention that most resonates with what you want. Click on that Intention Collection, combine Hematite with other crystals relevant to that particular intention and create a crystal grid. Placing your crystals in certain geometric patterns (the flower of life pattern is the most common one) will enhance the crystals’ vibrations, transform the energy of your space, and speed up the manifestation of your intention.
