The crystals I am working with for today are Jasper Mookaite, Leopard Skin Jasper, Dalmatian Jasper. I use these crystals to connect to your energy, to connect to the message meant for you, and to send the healing properties of the crystals to you. 

Jasper Mookaite – Use to connect with elemental Earth powers for increasing self-confidence, self-worth, and to realize one’s full potential. An ideal tool for overcoming procrastination by revealing the true reason for avoiding certain tasks and bringing the motivation needed to resolve the issue. Its constant energy keeps one focused and grounded while soothing the mind and quieting distracting thoughts. It is great for focusing on a specific goal or for a motivational boost in the workplace. It emanates the energy of animal knowing, or instinct, and may be used to amplify one’s own instincts when making decisions.

Leopard Skin Jasper – Is a stone of shamanic journeying. It also aids in service to others. It helps discover and connect with one’s animal totems or “power” animals. It makes it easier for one to take proper responsibility. It is said to bring energies of success in work or business. Helps with creative visualization. As with all jaspers, this is a protective stone.

Dalmatian Jasper – Is a stone that lessens or removes disillusionment. It helps one to see their strengths and weaknesses, and encourages grounding both with the Earth and in reality. It increases loyalty and is beneficial for long term relationships. It brings a sense of fun to one’s life. It is a stone of protection from nightmares, depression, and negative thinking. It is also said to be particularly beneficial for healing people who have trouble relaxing and having fun. 

The crystals have been suggesting we are in need of protection lately. I was guided to use 3 types of Jasper today, and Jasper are stones of protection. There has been a lot of fear, worry, depression, negative thinking and nightmares lately. I know.. I have been experiencing all of the above, very much so the last couple days. I also see discussions surrounding these feelings within my spiritual groups, so I know it’s an energy we are all experiencing in our own ways. I know for sure that one of the reasons I have felt so down is because I lack proper balance in my life when it comes to having fun. I am on duty 24/7 and even when I have a few mins, I’m so tired, I have given up even trying to have fun. When you live in an unbalanced state, negativity and physical issues are bound to occur. I’m currently experiencing back spasms, and I know this is a physical manifestation because I don’t ask for help or delegate enough. It is the universes way of saying, I’ll make you stop going and make you have to ask for help. When you are unbalanced, it also affects your relationships with others. Today, we need to take proper responsibility for our lives, and our happiness. I see this applying to work too, we may need a motivational boost. We may need to set some boundaries with those around us. Try to have some fun in your work day and at home later. Try to find some balance. Believe me, I’m the worst for this, it goes in one ear and out the other, I think it’s a mom thing. I guess that’s why I need to keep hearing it and working on this. With the Leopard Skin Jasper and it’s ability to connect us with our power animals, I think I will use the Messages From Your Animal Spirit Guides Oracle Cards by Steven Farmer. Let’s see which card is for today.

The card for today is Polar Bear. Again, this is symbolizing us taking responsibility for ourselves and speaking our truth, with respect. Show up, be present and ask for what you want. Don’t get upset over the outcome, even if things don’t work out how you would want, you are still expressing your needs and making them known. I feel like today is another struggle for balance. We want to have certain things in life, but yet someone else has power to help facilitate our needs, or not. I feel like by the end of the day, things will be smoothed over and there will be some fun to be had… but likely there will be some type of conversation or struggle before things work themselves out. Dalmatian Jasper will help you see things clearly, ground you, and protect you. Leopard Skin Jasper will help you accept responsibility. The Jasper Mookaite will remind you of your self-worth and help you with decision making. Mookaite activates the Solar Plexus Chakra, the seat of will and personal power, therefore assisting you to express yourself from your heart and from a place of power. Remember that things will work themselves out, and that you will get passed this, so maybe knowing that, it can help you avoid over-reacting, and calmly assert your needs. 

Polar Bear – When you express yourself from your heart and from a place of power, it’s an unbeatable combination. You don’t need to growl or bully, nor do you need to fade into the background and deny yourself the opportunity to directly affect the situation. By showing up and being completely present, even when your simply listening, you’re a force to be reckoned with. Ask for what you want, and see what happens. Don’t get worked up about how it turns out. You may or may not get what you want, but at least your chances are much better if you ask. As for setting boundaries with others, such as saying no to requests and demands, when you do so, they may respect those boundaries or try to test them. If they do test the limits you’ve set, stand your ground and be clear. Approach the situation with the purity and innocence of a child and the focused intensity of a true warrior – one who doesn’t speak or act from anger, but from a place of truth and dignity. Know that when you do so, you’ll have nothing to fear. Associations: fearlessness, purity, leadership, powerful, provider, self-control, strength, wisdom, nobility, conversation, intensity, playfulness, adaptability
