Bloodstone Palm Stone

These are custom made Bloodstone Palm Stones for Healing Nature LLC. This Bloodstone comes from India. This is a green/blue Bloodstone with hints of red in some of them. Bloodstone is considered an earth element and is most often associated with the root chakra or in Sanskrit, Muladhara chakra. The Muladhara chakra is located at the base of the spine and is associated with the color red. Bloodstone is associated with Courage, Strength, Purity and Truth. It gives one the courage to speak the Truth even in the face of adversity and fear. It also acts as a purifier to the physical body helping support the notion of strength in body and mind.

This stone is one of the best stones that represents Courage. What does it mean to have courage? Courage is defined as the firmness of Mind and Will in the face of danger or extreme difficulty. When we have a strong foundation we have a more balanced state of mind. When we have a more balanced state of mind we are better able to overcome dangers and difficulties. Hence, the stone of Courage.

Since Bloodstone is associated with the root chakra and is an earth element, it is also important to think about how our roots can branch out and also affect things around us. One of my favorite Swamis discusses this concept and uses the analogy of the Redwood forest. The redwood trees do not have roots that run very deep into the earth, the redwoods instead intertwine with the roots of surrounding trees and form a strong foundation connecting with one another and even connecting with other plant species. The foundation that they create is one that helps them withstand earthquakes and floods. Amazing to think about! Can we as humans do something similar?

Creating strong roots is a very important thing to begin with in any spiritual practice. Once you build that foundation you will be stable and capable of working with so many other parts of the energetic system. With a strong foundation courage will develop naturally. That is why you will hear and see a lot about grounding and its importance in a lot of mainstream outlets. Bloodstone is an excellent tool to help with this idea of laying roots.

Another word that comes up when I think of Courage is Heart. We can say that this persons got heart! Its another way of saying that this person has the spirit of courage or the temperament of courage. I love this and it would make sense that the color green in bloodstone is associated with the heart chakra or in Sanskrit Anahata chakra.

Bloodstone was one of the first stones I began working with when I started my journey. I can remember hand polishing a large raw piece of Indian bloodstone while I was camping in the Idaho mountains. There my journey began and I hold Bloodstone near and dear to my heart because it helped me tap into the courage that was hidden within myself. As I began to discover my courage I decided to take roads that I otherwise wouldn't have taken. Years later I am still discovering the courage within myself. The courage to take different paths in life, the courage to speak Truth even in the face of not being liked for it, and the courage to live my best life in order to help serve others to live their best lives.

If you are in need of some Courage and Strength tap into the energetic field of the noble bloodstone. You ultimately hold the power and these crystals and stones are tools to help you along your journey.
