JASPER MEANING & HEALING PROPERTIES

When it comes to manifesting strength, courage, and wisdom, the Jasper crystal is your all-in-one stone that resonates with the earth and its seemingly endless layers of colors and shades. Like a beautifully painted landscape, these unique stones echo the vast and complex ecosystem and its integral part of the life-giving elements of the planet. 

Made up of a varied group of stones, the Jasper crystal meaning comes from its different ratios of microcrystalline quartz combined with silicon dioxide. This combination of minerals gives it its opaque appearance and colors that range from red and brown to yellow and green. Thanks to its earthy appearance and powerful grounding effects, the Jasper crystal is often included in healing layouts, particularly Red Jasper, a variety known as one of the best root chakra stones. By energizing and purifying your center energy field, Jasper helps open up the root chakra to all other energy centers in the body. 

Dating back to ancient civilizations, shamans and healers from the days of old wore protective talismans and amulets that contained Jasper stones in strong masculine shades like brown and red, the colors of earth and blood, the essence of life. Here's an interesting historical tidbit--derived from the Persian word for 'treasurer,' the Jasper crystal meaning can be traced back to biblical times. According to legend, this name was traditionally assigned to the wise men--also known as Magi or three kings--who are said to have visited the newborn Jesus. 
 

JASPER MEANING

Echoing the brilliant and miraculous colors of life on the planet, this dusty and dense stone is linked with the root chakra, the energy center that anchors us to the earth and keeps us stable, even during stormy weather. Jasper crystal properties are known for helping to inspire you to act on your passions, so if you notice an increase in your couch potato habits like marathoning TV shows, it's time to call on the gentle yet powerful healing properties of this rustic and stable stone. One of the best root chakra stones, Red Jasper is like an adrenaline rush to your life force energy. It works by waking up and energizing any areas of your body that feel sluggish or inactive. By inspiring a positive, joyful attitude, you'll have the energy, inspiration, and motivation to take action and make your dreams come true. 

The Jasper crystal stone meaning is associated with the reflection of natural landscapes that have evolved on earth's surface over the millennia. Next time you walk barefoot in the soil, remember that you are literally on top of the world. The source of minerals in organic substances, the dirt itself provides sustenance to all living things and serves as the basis for everything that lives. In other words, the earth is more than just dirt and sand. It is life itself. The deep brown varieties of Jasper reflect this intrinsic wisdom of nature and its ability to evolve and adapt over millions of years.

Crystal Bible - Jasper - Healing Waves

I was awakened by my friend at 8:00 AM in our second-floor room on Malapascua island. "Sefy, wake up. There are strong winds outside" he said. My mind was still groggy from sleep, and I felt the warmth of the blanket that had kept me cozy throughout the night. However, his words had weight to them, and we had been waiting for this day for three long days. We had spent six days on the island, enjoying its serene beauty and the stunning sunset views that painted the sky with new hues every evening.

The Philippines is a place that captures your heart with its enchanting islands that offer the perfect balance between adventure and tranquility, a much-needed balance for those on a hero's journey. And today, we were about to embark on our most significant adventure yet.

Carl Jung once said, "One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." The universe follows the law of duality, and we can see its manifestation in nature in every aspect. Super Typhoon Yolanda was one such example. It was one of the most powerful tropical cyclones ever recorded in our current civilization, and it wreaked havoc on the Philippines. The typhoon was expected to hit at 10 PM, but it arrived much earlier, starting at 8 AM and lasting for two hours.

I remember feeling the fear take over me, deep in a cave, where the darkness seemed impenetrable. My legs were floating in half a meter of water, and the thin plaster ceiling was the only thing separating us from the chaos outside. I stood by the window, watching the wind gust at 300 mph, too fast for my eyes to follow. Fear gripped me, and I felt paralyzed until I slipped into a trance-like state. My brain could only register three thoughts, "I'm going to die," "I'm going to die in the Philippines," and "I haven't said goodbye to my family." However, my biological instincts were still hard at work, keeping me ready to fight or flee in a matter of seconds.

When my friend and I finally found a safe place to wait out the storm, we were both shaken to our core. It was as if a part of us had died that day. Walking around the island, I was in shock, taking in the surreal destruction that surrounded me. The darkness had descended upon the island, leaving behind no electricity, internet, clean water, or food. It seemed as if their entire world had crumbled.

As I passed by a lady sitting on the floor at the entrance of her store, now reduced to a pile of metal plates, she looked up at me with compassionate eyes, smiling. I was moved to tears, wondering how she could smile in the midst of such devastation. But then I realized that family was the most powerful value of all. In that moment, she looked at me like a mother, a sister, like I was family. And I understood that we are all brothers and sisters.

The vision for Healing Waves had been taking shape in my subconscious for years. And with your help, we can continue to shape that vision and make it a reality.
