Stones and Symbols
Jasper
Jasper is known as the supreme nurturer . . . .

It acts as a reminder that one is not here, on this physical plane, just for oneself, but is also here to bring joy and substance to others, assisting others to release the bonds of constraint.

It is conducive to awareness and to allowing one to celebrate situations of isolation.  Jasper was often worn by shamen to provide protection.  It holds an aspect of solar energy and a connection to the solar plexus chakra which also helped shamen in their magical practices. 

It is a stone which accepts intense responsibility in the realm of protection.  It protects against negativity and helps one to be grounded to the stabilizing energies of the Earth.  It balances the yin-yang energy and balances the physical, emotional and intellectual bodies with the etheric energies.  It stabilizes the aura, providing for a cleansing effect to smooth dysfunctional energies and to eliminate negativity. 

Jasper can be used in the treatment of tissue deterioration of the internal organs, particularly that of the kidneys, spleen, bladder, liver, and stomach.  Its energy particularly attends to deterioration, as opposed to malfunction of tissue.  Jasper can be used to treat the loss of sense of smell.  It has been reported to soothe the nerves.  It can also help with balancing the mineral content and with the regulation of the supplies of iron, sulfur, zinc and manganese within the body.
