What Power do Bloodstone Crystals Have?
Healing practices with bloodstone crystals date back to Ancient Greece. The "powers" a crystal has comes from the healing properties that it is associated with. Bloodstone has four healing properties that can help you determine if it's the right crystal for you.
Healing Property 1: Courage
Bloodstone crystals are believed to amplify courage in the person wearing them. They might make a person feel more brave and capable of conquering their fears.
Bloodstone crystals would be great for someone that's getting ready to start a new job, preparing for the first day of school, or is even looking for the courage to make a big decision. Bloodstone might be the right crystal for you if simply feel like you'd like to feel a bit more brave in your daily life.
Healing Property 2: Good Fortune
The second healing property of Bloodstone is good fortune. Many have used the crystal to attract riches, fame, and good fortune. It can be a powerful tool to turning your luck around.
This crystal would be perfect for someone that's applying to new jobs, or feels like they're stuck in a cycle of bad luck. Even if you've been feeling like you've had a streak of luck, Bloodstone crystals can be used to maintain that streak.
Healing Property 3: Protection
Bloodstone crystal is believed to offer protection to whoever wears it—lending to a long life of happiness and good health. Particularly, most people use the crystal to ward off bad energy.
This crystal can be a powerful tool to have if you find yourself in toxic environments. Whether that be negative coworkers, hostile roommates, or other uncomfortable situations, Bloodstone crystals can protect you from the negative energy in that environment.
Healing Property 4: Logic
The final healing property for Bloodstone is logic. This stone is appreciated for enhancing analytical thinking and good decision making.
If you're someone that struggles to make decisions, or listens to your heart over your head, Bloodstone might be the right crystal for you. At the end of the day, you should always listen to what your gut is telling you to do. However, it's always nice to have a little help when it comes to making an important decision.
These associations are what Bloodstone is revered for. It's important that you really think about what you're hoping to gain from your healing practice. If the above healing properties really resonate with what you're experiencing and hoping to gain from your practice, Bloodstone might be the perfect crystal for you.
Bloodstone Crystal Chakra
Bloodstone is primarily aligned with the root chakra. When the root chakra is out of alignment, it is believed that you might be feeling insecure and unsure of your identity. Bloodstone is supposed to realign the root chakra, making you feel confident in who you are.
What Zodiac is Bloodstone Good for?
Bloodstone is one of the birthstones associated with Aries. Since Aries are natural born leaders, the healing properties associated with Bloodstone align very well with qualities that a good leader would have.
An Aries would also greatly benefit from the protection that Bloodstone can offer them. Since it is a birthstone for the sign, they will experience heightened levels of protection from the stone.
How Do You Activate a Bloodstone Crystal?
There isn't necessarily a process for "activating" a crystal. Instead, you should cleanse your crystal of negative energy before you begin your healing practice.
It is likely that your element will come into contact with negative energy from the time we ship it to its arrival in your mailbox. That's natural—crystals are incredibly reactive to the energies they encounter. For Bloodstone, there are a few different cleansing methods you can implement to get rid of negativity:
- Use running water. Bloodstone is water-safe so you can use running water to cleanse the crystal of negative energy. You can use water from the tap for this! Hold your Bloodstone crystal fidget element under a lukewarm stream of water for a couple of minutes. Make sure your crystal is completely dry before you begin wearing it.
- Bury it in the soil. Crystals come from the earth, so it only makes sense that you would be able to use the earth to soak up negative energy. For this method, you'll want to find soil that you can bury your Bloodstone element in. You could use a potted plant, or a garden outside! Leave your Bloodstone crystal in the soil overnight and rinse it off before you start wearing it.
- Charge it in moonlight or sunlight. You can also use the power from the sun or the moon to charge your Bloodstone with positive energy. If you choose sunlight, leave your crystal in the sun for no more than an hour. It's important to note that long exposure to the sun can alter the color of your Bloodstone crystal jewelry. If you choose the moon, leave your crystal in a spot that has access to moonlight all night. The best time to do this is during a full moon when the moon is most powerful.
During regular wear, your crystal will inevitably encounter negative energy again. That's completely natural. Every month or so, engage in one of the above methods to recharge your element with positive energy.
Begin your Healing Journey with Bloodstone Crystals
One of the most integral parts of crystal healing is setting intentions for your practice. These intentions will help guide your bloodstone to achieve your desired goals. To begin the intention-setting process, you will first want to prepare your mind for the journey to come.
You might have some doubts or skepticisms of crystal healing. That's okay, you aren't alone with feeling hesitant about crystal healing. Try to figure out where your doubts originate from and open yourself to whatever might come out of your practice.
After working through your skepticisms, you can start setting your intention. It should be specific and aligned with Bloodstone's associations. Return back to the description of the crystal to inform your intention.
For example, you might be getting ready to graduate from college and move to a new city where you don't know anyone. Maybe this is your first full-time job and you want everything to go perfectly. In this case, you would set your intention for bloodstone to grand you the courage to go through with the move and encourage you to trust your instincts about the new people you'll meet.
Once you feel confident about your intention, write it down somewhere you can easily find it. This helps solidify it in your mind and serves as a reminder of what you hoped to gain from your healing journey. Then, hold your Bloodstone crystal in your hands and speak the intention into it a few times. When you go on with your daily life, keep your intention in mind and make choices that align with it.
After some time has passed, you might decide that you've achieved what you set out to, or that your intention is no longer relevant. That's to be expected, as life is very unexpected. To set a new intention, use your preferred cleansing method and repeat this intention-setting process.
