Bloodstone: Strength, Endurance, and Energy
Bloodstone Affirmation
I am present and focused in the now. My physical body is comfortable and strong.
Bloodstone, also known as heliotrope, is primarily evergreen jasper with inclusions of red and sometimes yellow jasper. The red drops look like blood but are really just iron oxide deposits within the jasper. And when yellow jasper is present, they call it the plasma of the bloodstone.
There are different stories about how bloodstone got its name. The Romans took it with them into battle for protection from harm, and if they got hurt, they used the stone to apply pressure to the wound to help them heal. According to Christian tradition, the ground where Jesus Christ was crucified was covered in evergreen jasper, and when the Romans spilled his blood, the earth absorbed it into the stone, so every piece held the blood of Christ.
Bloodstone is mentioned in the Bible as one of the twelve precious stones in the breastplate of Aaron, the high priest of the Israelites. In ancient Egypt, it was believed to have the power to protect against evil and bring victory in battle. Medieval European alchemists also worked with bloodstone. They thought that if they could somehow extract the ‘blood’ from this stone and refine it, they could create the philosopher's stone.
Bloodstone is my favorite stone for pain relief and my go-to stone for healing of any kind. It’s a master healer that activates the Root Chakra for strength, endurance, and energy. When you’re feeling fearful or frail, it enhances tenacity. Bloodstone is also protective and rejuvenating and gives you the courage to face challenges and move through difficult times with resilience and resolve. Bloodstone is also believed to have a strong connection to the natural world. It can help you connect with nature's rhythms and cycles and feel a sense of harmony and balance with the environment. It can be especially helpful for those who feel disconnected from nature or live in urban environments.
