GROUNDING soothes away irritability, aggression and impatience. Bloodstone works with both the heart and root chakra. An excellent stone to pump loving vibrations to the heart center and ground physical energy. 

RESILIENCE especially when handling adversity and overwhelm -it helps you take a step back to assess the situations, your thoughts, feelings and emotions. It works with the heart chakra - the place where we can find our strength and resilience during challenging times and encourages us to move forward with courage and bravery.

CLEANSING ~ bloodstone encourages us remove toxicity in one's life and helps us see clearly in order to do so. Are there people, things, patterns or attachments in your life that are toxic? That don't serve your highest good. Bloodstone will support you to identify them, sharpen your decision making and bring the courage to release them or cut those ties.

REMOVE BLOCKAGES ~ bloodstone is considered to help remove blockages from the aura and any space.
