Spiritual and other Powers of Jasper

Jasper was a favorite in the ancient world.

Jasper is a stone of protection. It protects
against negativity and aids in grounding one to
the stabilizing energies of the earth. Jasper can
be used to align the energy of the chakras and
to integrate the attributes of the chakras, such
that astral excursions can be affected.
Jasper balances the Yin-Yang energies and also
balances the physical, intellectual and emotional
bodies with their etheric energies. Jasper
stabilizes the aura, providing a cleansing effect
to smooth dysfunctional energies and eliminating
negative energies.

Jasper was worn by native shaman for protection
during healings and dream quests. It holds an
aspect of solar energy and a connection to the
solar plexus chakra which helps shaman in the
magical practices.

For Native American Indians it
is a sacred stone that is used for performances
of and adherence to the “old ways” rituals.
The ancients used Jasper as a sacred,
protective stone and as an aid for safe astral
travel (Jasper was placed on the heart and navel
chakras before astral travel). It has also been
used for dowsing. Jasper has been used by both
priests, kings and in the breast plate of the high
priest.

The ancient Egyptians wore Jasper scarabs as
amulets, and both Indians in Asia as well as
Native Americans see jasper as both a magical
rain stone and also a powerful healing stone.
Jasper was used in Ancient European times as a
“rain bringer” and it is interesting to note that the
word for jasper in some American Indian cultures
also meant, “Rain Bringer”.

Jasper needs direct contact with the skin, and
after each use, the stone should be cleaned under
running water.
