CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK // Desert Jasper

“Desert Jasper acts as a balm to the soul, soothing our anger.”

〰️ DESERT JASPER 〰️

This time of rest somehow seems to bring a second helping of tension. We forget we came to celebrate with loved ones, our critical minds and sharp tongues let loose. Our whole essence a jagged edge. 

Desert Jasper comes in with its strong wind and erodes away the sharp points that prevent us from truly connecting from a place of love and compassion. A stone of supreme nurturance, it acts as a balm to the soul, soothing our anger and revealing where we could use a dash more humility, a dash more tenderness. 

When tensions rise, take a specimen of Desert Jasper in your non-dominate hand. As you breathe in, follow that breath throughout your body letting yourself sigh on the exhale. Do this for 5 deep, long breaths before switching to the other side. After another set of 5 breaths, bring the stone to your heart with both hands, take one deep breath and allow yourself to feel the wave of calm flow through you offering a refreshed foundation for all your interactions.
