Stone of the Month for April – Brown (Picture) Jasper
April is the month to promote our connection to Mother Earth with Earth Day celebrations on 22nd. How many of us are really paying attention? It’s certainly a growing collection of humanity and I set the intention that expansion will continue.
I know that until I began my journey with stones and crystals I took the earth absolutely for granted. Coming from an area of steel & coal mining I guess I knew what humans did with some of the things people dug up, but I was definitely asleep to the consequences & abuses. I lived in a huge city and despite amazing parks, green spaces, & fabulous countryside nearby, really never gave Gaia a thought. Didn’t even know her name.
I’m glad now for my awareness. The stones & crystals I work with bring me great joy. The stones with which I surround myself bring me healing in so many different ways. My creative process is readily meditative for me. I so enjoy meeting people & helping them select a piece of jewelry that really speaks to their journey & connectivity. I hope you can feel my passion 🙂
Jaspers generally all have such beautiful gentle energy, they are the nurturers, the healers, the spirit stones of courage & wisdom. They carry strong connections to the Earth, very beneficial for grounding, stability & strength.
Brown Jasper is particularly useful as a worry stone, it can aid in dissolving sudden burst of fear, panic, anger. Assists in achieving deep meditation & centering, & can assist with past life karmic healing.
Picture Jasper is said to be The Earth Mother speaking to her children, willing us to see. Allows us to see the bigger picture so we can move forward with confidence. Aids creative visualization & bringing goals & dreams into reality.
