My take on Red Jasper..
It is all well and good reading and then listing the properties of crystals. But it is well worth noting we will all interpret crystal properties in different ways and find our own ways to use them. That said, if you are unsure how to use crystals you can check out my previous blog post here on how you can incorporate crystals in your day to day life.
So, my take on Red Jasper. First off, due to its protective nature its a lovely stone to give to a loved as a gesture of love, security and safety. Wearing Red Jasper stones in jewellery is another way of protecting the wearer from negative energy.
Simply holding a crystal(or keeping one tucked in your clothing if you want to keep it with you all day) is a nice way to connect to the energy of the stone.
I see Red Jasper as a balancing stone that helps us keep a level head and react to challenging situations (and people) in a calm and dignified manner. It helps you keep a level head. If you can foresee a situation where you know you are likely to get wound up and maybe loose your head a little, have a Red Jasper stone tucked away in your pocket or bag.
I also think its a great stone to reconnect with nature. Overworking, too much screen time and busy hectic daily lives often leave us feeling a bit frazzled and out of balance. A walk outside with a piece of Red Jasper in your pocket will help you to feel more grounded, let your mind clear from all the hectic stuff we all have going on, and let you feel more present and grounded - allowing you to have a break from our never ending to do lists!
