ROBERT SIMMONS Bloodstone is a great purifier, a healing tool for dispelling negative influences from the auric field and bringing one's subtle energies into wholeness and balance. When this is done for the invisible self, the benefits for the physical self will follow. Bloodstone grounds one fully in the body and with that grounding comes the enhancement of one's capacity to function with strength. determination and courage through the whole range of challenges inherent in earthly life. Just as Bloodstone increases vitality, it also assists one in facing the realities of physical mortality and death. It is a good talisman for those who are ill, even if curing the illness is not possible, because of its power to let one look unflinchingly at the truth, whatever it is, and to move forward in the most appropriate ways.
Bloodstone can offer courage and solace. It has a way of eliciting the highest, most altruistic character traits in whoever carries or uses it. At its most effective, it stimulates the urge toward Christ consciousness within the self. Bloodstone strengthens the root chakra, source of our physical energies, and it helps one dispel sluggishness in that area.

Bloodstone works well in harmony with Cuprite, Smoky Quartz, Zincite, Black Tourmaline, Jet and Obsidian. The black stones enhance the purification aspect of Bloodstone, and the others work primarily to energize the lower chakras. For connection with the vibrations of Christ consciousness, one may wish to combine Bloodstone with Imperial Topaz, the truest stone of the Pink/Gold Ray.
