Hematite is a mineral that has been used for centuries to treat health issues such as arthritis, cancer, and heart disease. Hematite also helps to improve energy levels and boost immunity.
Hematite comes from iron ore and is found in abundance in the earth’s crust. The mineral is often associated with the element magnetite, which is why it is sometimes called magnetic hematite.
Hematite is known for its ability to absorb negative energies and transform them into positive ones. This makes it useful for healing purposes.
It can be used as an aid in meditation or other spiritual practices. Hematite is also said to help one feel more grounded and centered.
However, it can also be used for affirmations and this is what this article will explore.
What Is Hematite?
Hematite is a naturally occurring iron oxide mineral. Iron oxides are minerals that contain iron atoms bonded together by oxygen molecules.
They are typically brownish-red in color. Hematite is commonly found in association with magnetite.
Magnetite is a black iron oxide mineral that contains both iron and magnesium. When these two minerals come together they form a magnetic compound.
How Does Hematite Work?
The properties of hematite have long been recognized. In ancient times, people believed that hematite could cure diseases like epilepsy and mental illness.
Today, scientists still believe that hematite can have beneficial effects on our bodies.
There are many ways that hematite works. One way is through the use of magnets. Hematite is attracted to magnets and when placed near a magnet, it becomes polarized.
Polarization means that the electrons within the hematite become aligned so that their spin axis points toward the north pole of the magnet.
When the hematite is placed next to a magnet, it aligns itself with the field of the magnet. This causes the hematite to vibrate at a specific frequency.
When we say that something is “vibrating,” we mean that there is a movement happening inside the object.
For example, if you hold a tuning fork and tap it against your hand, the fork will start to vibrate.
If you then place the fork underwater, it will continue to vibrate because the water absorbs some of the energy created by the vibration, but not all of it.
When we talk about the vibrations of hematite, we’re talking about how the electrons move around inside the crystal structure of the mineral.
The electrons move in a circular motion; therefore, the hematite is said to be rotating. Because hematite is attracted to magnets, it will rotate faster when it is close to a magnet than when it is not.
Another way that hematite works is by absorbing negative energy. Negative energy is any kind of force that disrupts the natural balance of life.
Examples include stress, anger, fear, worry, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. These types of emotions create ripples of energy throughout our bodies.
By absorbing these negative energies, hematite helps us to restore our inner peace and calmness.
Hematite also has incredible energy-boosting levels and is often placed around the home.
It provides a level of protection to those living within and a sense of security over the household. You could even wear hematite as jewelry to access the protective energy at all times.

Negative thoughts and feelings can cause problems in our lives. Therefore, it’s important to get rid of them before you begin using hematite.

- What am I feeling right now?
- What am I thinking about?
- Is my mind filled with negativity?
Cleanse The Hematite
Before you begin working with hematite, cleanse it. Use a salt bath or sea salt to remove all unwanted energies from the stone. Once you have cleansed the hematite, you can begin.
Place The Hematite On A Magnet And Say An Affirmation
Place the hematite on top of a magnet and keep it close. Hold the magnet up to the side of your head and say an affirmation aloud.
Repeat this process until you feel like you are fulfilled and ready to move on.
Using Lavender
- Place hematite into a bowl or jar.
- Add 1 teaspoon of dried lavender flowers (or other herbs). The lavender adds an earthy scent to the mixture and helps you connect with the earth when you begin your affirmations.
- Lightly mix the ingredients until the hematite is evenly coated.
- Keep the mixture in a cool dry area for up to 24 hours before using.
- Take a few minutes each day to meditate or do an affirmation while holding this mixture.
- After 24 hours, gently remove the hematite from the bowl or jar and put it into a clean glass container.
- Store the hematite away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Use the hematite every time you want to affirm yourself!
