Bloodstone is one of the oldest gemstones known to mankind, which has been recorded from ancient times. It belongs to the chalcedony variety from the quartz family and in olden days was also referred by the name heliotrope, as the gem looked like the fiery red sun setting into the ocean. The name comes from the Greek Helios, for sun.
The bloodstone has been used as an amulet to protect against the evil eye. Bloodstone is the symbol of justice.
The most vital information about Bloodstone is that it strengthens your immune system and keeps it alert and responsive to your body’s needs. Bloodstone strengthens your immune system and keeps it alert and responsive to your body’s needs. Bloodstone’s energy empowers certain microorganisms in your bloodstream that are vital to optimal immune function, making your body an incompatible environment for infections of all kinds. Bloodstone also facilitates the removal of toxins from your body and enhances your cells’ absorption of nutrients.
To understand Bloodstone’s special role in boosting immune function requires an understanding of certain components of the blood and their role in promoting health. Today, microbiologists are describing newly discovered sub-cellular components essential to the body’s healthy functioning. Bloodstone has a natural relationship with certain of these components. Through its effects on them, Bloodstone profoundly benefits the immune system.
When you wear a necklace of Bloodstone spheres, Bloodstone energy collects in certain sub-cellular components in your blood that we may call mutable bodies. Mutable bodies also absorb toxins, such as heavy metals and toxic chemicals, from your blood and cells. These toxin-laden mutable bodies then exit your body through your organs of elimination.
Any change occurring in your body, no matter how small, is reflected in the vibratory quality of your blood. A change in blood quality can be caused by many things, such as the ingestion of a certain food, a sad or happy thought, a trauma, a therapy, or an infection. Mutable bodies, which live in your blood fluid, are sensitive to the vibrations of their environment. Changes that significantly alter the chemistry and vibrations of your blood affect them directly. When such a change occurs, the mutable bodies’ walls mutate to reflect the change. For example, when you have a healing or joyful experience, your body’s vibration rises. In response, the mutable bodies’ walls change to reflect the higher vibration. This allows their centers to express more of their energies through the walls. The resulting infusion of higher energy into your bloodstream leaves you feeling vital, uplifted, and energized.
The ability of mutable bodies to reflect their environment is key to how they work for the immune system. Another example of how mutable bodies reflect changes in the blood is their response to a bacterial invasion. In this case, the mutable body walls quickly take on the appearance and characteristics of the invading bacteria. The result is that, in the early stages of an infection, your blood will appear to contain more bacteria than it actually does. This illusion of bacterial abundance is normal and, in fact, essential to your health—it alerts your immune system to the infection much more swiftly than if only “real” bacteria were present.
When your body has successfully overcome the infection, the mutable bodies respond by resuming their plant-like forms. This is important, because it is only when mutable bodies are in plant-like form that they can bring nutrients to your cells, remove toxins, pass higher energies into your body, and alert your immune system to new invaders.
A healthy immune-system response depends on the optimal functioning of the mutable bodies. If they are weakened or otherwise unhealthy, the immune response becomes compromised, and illness can set in more easily. Mutable bodies can become unhealthy when your body is constantly overworked, excited, agitated, stressed, or dosed with caffeine.
These stresses cause the mutable bodies to become overreactive and change form at the slightest change in blood vibrations. The immune system can start to ignore certain warnings and even certain kinds of infections. Furthermore, when mutable bodies are overreactive, the blood becomes filled with an excess of disguised mutable bodies, and not enough plant-like ones are available to perform their essential jobs. The resulting dysfunctions can include premature aging, low energy, allergies, environmental sensitivities, and diminished organ function.
Bloodstone helps mutable bodies reverse their overreactivity and better discriminate between a real need to mutate and a false one.
The Bloodstone energy itself also distinguishes necessary mutable body “disguises” from excessive, unwarranted, or worn-out ones. Bloodstone energy collects around the mutable body walls. It clears away any unnecessary vibrations and dissolves the unnecessary disguises, allowing the mutable bodies to return to their plant-like forms. In this way, Bloodstone relieves your immune system of the burden of eliminating the excess mutations so that it can focus its energies on resolving the real infections.
Bloodstone energy also fortifies mutable bodies in their plant-like form, making them strong. Specifically, it strengthens their walls and the very nature of the mutable bodies themselves. Bloodstone empowers them to serve your immune system in a more proactive way and makes your body much less susceptible to infection. When enough mutable bodies are empowered, the overall vibration of your body is uplifted. This uplifted vibration is incompatible with that of bacteria, viruses, and other infectious agents, such as parasites. Existing infections die off, and external agents receive the message that they are not welcome. At the same time, your body becomes able to rid itself of toxins more easily.
When you place Bloodstone not around your neck, the Bloodstone's energy alerts the plant-like bodies to pool in the placement area. Even as the blood circulates, the plant-like forms linger there as if held by Bloodstone's magnetism. Because the blood circulates so frequently, this pooling will occur within minutes. Once the mutable bodies have collected in the placement area, they begin to focus their nutrient-transfer and toxin-absorption mechanisms there. This can be particularly helpful for areas that have collected toxins or metabolic wastes, such as in sore muscles, arthritic joints, or areas suffering from gout. After a while, some of these mutable bodies will move away: the toxin-laden bodies will move on to your organs of elimination; and some of the nutrient-rich bodies will move on to other cells that need them. This process will continue as long as you keep Bloodstone on the area.
If the area has an unresolved infection, Bloodstone provides an added benefit. The mutable bodies that Bloodstone calls to the area start to reflect the area's vibrations, and the immune system will respond by pooling leukocytes in the area to address the unresolved Bloodstone is placed on an ailing area to boost the body's immune response there. The Bloodstone's energy also facilitates the transfer of nutrients to the area and the removal of toxins or metabolic wastes as it helps bring the area into greater harmony with the rest of the body.
