Poppy Jasper

Poppy Jasper enlivens your body by throwing vortices of uplifting energy toward areas where energy flow is blocked. These vortices help to break up the physical impediments, encrusted patterns, and energetic blockages that prevent life force from entering certain parts of your body. The energy of a Poppy Jasper necklace is positive, happy, and joyful. It inspires, invigorates, and energizes your entire being.

Poppy Jasper’s energy acts somewhat like adrenaline. When your adrenaline flows, you work harder and faster, and you feel a joy that keeps you going. Like adrenaline, Poppy Jasper gives you the motivation, inspiration, and energy to act. Therefore, you should not expect to wear Poppy Jasper and sit still for long. You will want to move, do something, and change. Poppy Jasper can give you the extra energy you may need in order to get through challenging situations.

When Poppy Jasper is worn around the neck, its adrenaline-like energy wakes up and enlivens areas of the body that appear to be sleeping. It also initiates movement in areas of the physical body where energy flows are stuck or blocked. These blockages do not always manifest in specific pockets or areas. Cells throughout the body often have a blocked or tight quality, thus preventing energy from flowing through the cells properly. When Poppy Jasper is worn, these blockages are released. These releases may be felt as spontaneous muscle twitches and stretches, sometimes referred to as unwinding movements.

When your physical body becomes freer of these impediments, it is able to accept more energy, and this allows it to do things it previously could not do. More energy also makes you feel good. When you wear Poppy Jasper, your outlook is brightened and becomes more cheerful—you feel happy to be alive. You may also attain a deeper recognition of your connection with the life of the Earth, and this too will invigorate you. The more you wear Poppy Jasper, the more you will experience all these effects.

Caffeine Replacement

Because of its energizing effects, Poppy Jasper can be used as a coffee or caffeine replacement or as an aid in withdrawing from coffee or caffeine.

Wear It Around Your Neck

One of the most powerful and convenient ways to use a Poppy Jasper necklace is to wear it around your neck. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the necklace or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems. 

Special Therapies

In addition to wearing a Poppy Jasper necklace around your neck, you can use it for more focused treatments. The simplest treatment is to place it on a specific area of your body to focus its healing energies there. For example, you can curl up the necklace and place it on an ailing, injured, or painful area to accelerate the area’s recovery. Here is another focused treatment you can perform with this necklace:

Awakening Localized Areas

Poppy Jasper awakens and enlivens any area of the body whose energy flows are stuck, blocked, or "asleep." Certain blockages are released, and a greater flow of energy to the area is initiated. View instructions.

Support in Childbirth

Poppy Jasper can provide a woman with extra energy during the pushing phase of childbirth. Wearing a Poppy Jasper necklace will give the mother additional channels within her body from which she can access more energy, specifically for pushing. She should put on the Poppy Jasper only after the transition phase of labor is completed and pushing has begun. For assistance during the transition phase, see Riverstone.

Time Guidelines

Poppy Jasper can be worn continuously. However, it is always wise to be sensitive to your body’s responses. If you start to feel a headache or significant discomfort, take the necklace off for a while. Then allow your body time to adjust to the changes initiated by the gems by wearing them for only an hour or two a day. Gradually increase this time until you can comfortably wear the gems for as long and often as you wish.

Cleanse Poppy Jasper Regularly

To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of following methods to cleanse your Poppy Jasper necklace. Learn more about these methods.

Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches.

Salt Bed: 2 – 3 times a week, lay the gems in a half-inch of salt for at least an hour or overnight. Place a thin natural-fiber cloth between the salt and the gems.

Water Rinse: Rinse the gems 2 – 3 times a week.

Sunbath: Every 1 - 2 weeks, lay the gems in sunlight for a maximum of 20 minutes at a time.

Caution: Avoid clay cleansing, which will dull the gems’ polish.  

When Your Necklace First Arrives

When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.
