Red Jasper pendant "Allow yourself to be there"

"I am the power of the earth flowing through your veins. Feel my energy like a root growing deep into the ground, firm, unwavering. You are here, and it is good. Let go of your worries, because in me you will find the strength to stand where you are."

When we are not properly grounded, we experience feelings of restlessness, fatigue and inner chaos. Red Jasper helps us to center the energies that flow through our body and connect us to the power of the earth. This restores our life force and brings more balance to our daily lives.

Get a grip on life and your emotions

Red Jasper is a companion in times of emotional confusion and stress. The stone teaches us how to get a grip on our emotions, not by suppressing them, but by embracing and channeling them. When you learn to allow your feelings without judgement, space is created for peace and clarity. The grounding that Red Jasper offers gives you the foundation to deal with emotions from a stable position, making escapism less attractive.

Exercise: Fully incarnating and allowing yourself to be there

Hold a red jasper stone or piece of jewelry in your receiving hand (the hand you don’t write with). Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Visualize roots growing from your feet deep into the earth, like a tree firmly planted in the ground. Feel the energy of the stone gently making itself known and flowing through your body, from your feet to your crown.

Breathe in and say to yourself, “I am here, fully in my body. I allow myself to be.” Breathe out and release the tension. Repeat this three times and feel how the earth energy of red jasper nourishes your vitality and helps you to be fully in the moment.

Allow yourself to feel what is alive within you without judgement. Be present with every emotion that comes up, knowing that you are grounded and safe. Feel the energy of red jasper carrying you, and trust that you always have the strength to stay in the here and now. Know that there is no need to hide or run away anymore - you are standing firm, and you are allowed to be here, because you are already here! Stay in this moment for as long as you feel is necessary, nice or good. Sometimes you will know within yourself after one minute that it is enough, other days you will feel the need to stay in this centered, attentive state for longer.

This short, simple exercise works powerfully and long into your day. Do it every morning, and repeat it at exciting moments in your day.
