Magnetite is an iron mineral that forms octahedral crystals (isometric system). It is powerfully aligning and balancing, working on all the subtle bodies and chakras on all levels. It brings balance, whether extra energy or sedation is required. It is good for inflammation. Aches and pains. When out of balance, holding a piece of Magnetite, or a piece in each hand, can help us to bring our energy frequency into resonance with that of the Earth.

When I meditate with Magnetite I have the sensation of sitting within a pyramid of energy, with a wide base on the Earth. This energetic shape is reflected deep within the Earth, mimicking the octahedral shape of the crystals.

It can be very useful following shock or stress and a great help for those who resist being fully embodied.

Some Magnetite is naturally magnetised and is called Lodestone.
