Red Jasper creates a strong connection to the Earth and this is very helpful for emotional equilibrium and spiritual grounding, especially if you wear or carry it so you can access this all the time. This will help to alleviate stress and reconnect you with the grounding energies of the Earth. It is actually an ideal stone to buy as a palm or rubbing stone. As you hold it and stroke it in your palm, it will soothe the nervous system (and your nerves) and restore balance, mainly because its energy is very nourishing, warm and protective. It also balances the emotional body.
Meditating with Red Jasper
During any meditation red jasper will share with you its calm, harmonious energy, which is perfect for grounding and centring, especially when you want to enter a meditative state to work with the stone.
General Meditation
- Hold the crystal in the palm of your non-dominant hand with the intention of allowing it to open your palm chakra. Then set the intention that, with each in breath, you want to draw the nurturing vibration of this lovely stone, up your arm to your shoulder, where it spreads out and flows into the whole of your physical body. Red jasper is known as the supreme nurturer, so just let it do that – nurture the whole of your physical body.
- After a while, intentionally direct some of the energy down to your feet to open your feet chakras and allow any negative energy which has been disrupted by the red vibrations to flow through your body and into the earth. This will then allow you to absorb even more energy from your stone to nurture yourself.
- When you have finished, disconnect from your crystal, thank it and sit for a moment, allowing earth energy to flow into your body through your feet chakras.
Base Chakra Meditation
Place the red jasper at the base chakra and set the intention that you want the energy of the stone to flow into the chakra – then just sit quietly while it works, asking it to balance the chakra first, though. When the base chakra is balanced (and red jasper does this fabulously well), your physical body will start to regain its strength and stamina. This process will be enhanced by the energy of the red jasper as well, especially if you work with it regularly. It is the supreme nurturer and the body loves its energy.
Charka Meditation
After using the red jasper on your base chakra, place it on all the other chakras, moving up from the sacral to the crown where the energy of the stone will cleanse, boost and realign the whole system, as well as the associated layers of the aura. Also while you are moving your stone upwards it will, helpfully, balance yin and yang energies as well as align the physical, emotional and mental bodies with the spiritual body.
Meditating for Insight
Working with red jasper with the intention of seeking clarity around any issue in your life will help enormously. The stone will always provide insight into the problem and help you see the best way to move forward with it, or even clear it completely. Another bonus is that it will bring into your awareness anything which may cause you trouble later on, so you can start dealing with it while it is a small problem and not be forced to do it later when it is much larger and harder to sort out.
However, its real gift is to help you avoid the trap of falling back into old thought and behaviour patterns and it will enable you to move forward in all things. But, be aware that while you sit with it, red jasper’s energy will let you know, in no uncertain terms, that whatever you do or do not do – the choice and the outcome of that choice – are ultimately your responsibility, and no one else’s. And you need to be fully aware of the fact that doing nothing is still a choice. You are fooling yourself if you think it is not.
Red Jasper and Amethyst
Red jasper works extremely well with amethyst, so if you use them together (especially with amethyst on the brow chakra and red jasper on the base chakra), the amethyst will bring insight and wisdom connected to the issue you are working with and the red jasper will give you the courage and determination to actually do something about it.
I hope you enjoy any time you spend with this comforting stone.
Bright Blessings
